Although women entrepreneurs constitute one of the largest and fastest-growing segments of the small business sector, few of them generate $1 million or more in revenue, less than 3%.
With that in mind, last year Count-Me-In for Women's Economic Independence, a New York nonprofit provider of business loans for women, and OPEN from American Express (the financial company's small business division), launched the Make Mine a $Million Business. Their goal is to create a network of 1 million women-owned businesses that will earn $1 million in revenue by the year 2010.
I signed up and think it is possible. What about you?
About Me
- Lorraine Ball
- “I am a teacher at heart. I love watching the light in someone’s eyes as they grasp a new idea, understanding how it applies to them.” As Creative Director, I am typically at the center of the managed chaos that is Roundpeg. With more than thirty years as a marketing professional (lie, tell me I don't look that old) I enjoy keeping things lively, living on the bleeding edge of new marketing. A native New Yorker, I am Hoosier by choice, and am committed to fostering growth and entrepreneurship in my adopted city. Recognized by the Indianapolis Business Journal as one of the Most Influential Women in Indianapolis, I am an active member of the local Indianapolis business community. When not at Roundpeg, I can be found, sharing what I knows in seminars and presentations around the country. I have an BA from Queens College, City University of NY, and an MBA from the University of Texas at Dallas.
