And love to share what they have done for me.</p> <p> 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.</p> <p> 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!</p> <p> 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.</p> <p> 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.</p> <p> </p> <p> Sincerely,<br /> Shanna Sisney, 2008 graduate, full scholarship</p> single 250.0 Giving Back A Note from Shanna 9 RegisteredNonprofit giving-back 9 I will be donating $1.00 of every haircut/style to Woman's Economic Ventures when this add is mentioned! http://bit.ly/BolzJ launched 2010-01-07T14:07:19-08:00 1398
