			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I must highly recommend a Women Wellness Seminar on Entrepreneurship and Financial Freedom I attended last Thursday at <a href="http://www.ingoodcompanyworkplaces.com/" target="_blank">In Good Company WorkPlaces</a> (which is another great story altogether&#8230;for another time), hosted by <a href="http://changestartswithme.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&amp;Itemid=1" target="_blank">Change Starts With Me</a>. Dana Skallman, an entrepreneur herself who is a partner at <a href="http://independentstrategists.com/" target="_blank">Independent Strategists</a> and a Financial Coach/Trainer at <a href="http://www.primerica.com/dskallman" target="_blank">Primerica Financial Services</a>, coordinates the events and brings together women who are inspired and determined to do great things, but who could use some guidance.</p>
<p>Last Thursday the SOLD-OUT event, featured <a href="http://www.suegilad.com/index.php" target="_blank">Sue Gilad</a>: &#8220;an entrepreneur who has never had a job&#8221; (and, a fine public speaker, if I might add). Sue&#8217;s seminar, entitled &#8220;Financial Freedom is Sexy&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>[G]ets participants excited about creating profitable ventures from what they are already experts at. Sue&#8217;s forthcoming book, FINANCIAL FREEDOM IS SEXY, shares the inspired brainstorms and success stories of the entrepreneurs who took the proven principles of &#8220;info-preneuring&#8221; (information enterpreneuring) and ran with them.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In addition to being an inspiring, down-to-earth speaker, Sue had a slew of personal experiences to share as well as a number of concrete and useful tips for entrepreneurs. One thing she brought up was the concept of changing the way we think about money and seeing &#8220;saving as sexy&#8221; rather than a &#8220;drag&#8221; or something that makes us feel unempowered. It didn&#8217;t make that much sense to me at the moment, but this weekend when I only &#8220;window shopped&#8221; at Barnes and Noble (a difficult task, I&#8217;ll have you know) I left and thought, &#8220;Wow. It&#8217;s really nice to have money, and NOT spend it.&#8221;</p>
<p>OVERALL: The price was right ($10) for a fabulous and inspiring seminar and what I&#8217;ve written up here is just the tip of the iceberg. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND being on the lookout (<a href="http://changestartswithme.com/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=116&#038;Itemid=120" target="_blank">here</a>) for the second round of this seminar&#8211;Dana mentioned that due to high demand, Sue may be back!</p>
