Giving Back

My name is Shanna and I'll never forget the story about how I first got involved with Women's Economic Ventures (WEV). And love to share what they have done for me.

Before I entered the Self-EmploymentvTraining, I was full of many great business ideas. I was frustrated in how to move forward on any of them. I had chosen to stay home to raise my two children for 6 years and step away from the work force. As my children got a little older, I got the itch to return to me. The frustration of what the next step would be as well as poor time management lead me to let the ideas go.

I was referred to Women's Economic Ventures by a dear friend and client. With in a month of signing up and being involved in the course, my life was finally moving in the right direction. I resumed a passion for creating a business I hadn't felt in a long time. This program sparked, inspired and led me to all of the possibilities I posess. Truly, Women's Economic Ventures provided me with the courage to get back out there and be a good business owner and parent!

Now, I am thriving! I am building a solid salon business as well as starting a side business. When I think of my experience in the Self-Employment Training, I thank Women's Economic Ventures for giving me the tools to succeed in business. The last time I left WEV, I wanted to tell everyone how Women's Economic Ventures greatly helped my business.

I am just one example of the lives that are being changed everyday at Women's Economic Ventures. As a gesture of gratitude, I am donating $1.00 of each haircut/style given by me at 19 Blue Salon to Women's Economic Ventures when mention of this add!. This will continue through the end of the year.

 

Sincerely,
Shanna Sisney, 2008 graduate, full scholarship
