Many women now run businesses. Why not the Women In Transition?

This is my first blog to document my intention to achieve a goal I had only thought about vaguely in the past.

Why am I doing this? I will have to tell my story in another blog.



Entrepreneurs United To Empower Women In Transition is actually the name of a group I created on June 30 on Facebook. It is open to anyone.

I am appealing to entrepreneurs (men & women) to teach Women in Transition (WIT) on HOW TO BECOME ENTREPRENEURS. The group had grown to 45 members after only 5 days.

This blog will describe my journey, my thoughts, and the people I meet as the universe shapes the outcome of my intention.



Here's my vision:
I want to teach the Women In Transition how to pull themselves up by the bootstraps by being entrepreneurs, not employees.

In other words, I want to teach them how to make money.
I want to empower them to take responsibility.
It could be the most empowering thing they have ever experienced.

Why entrepreneurs?
I believe entrepreneurs are creative and are empowered. Entrepreneurs also keep the wealth circulating.

There are many organizations that share the same vision, supporting different niches within the "Women in Transition" category. How is this one different?


My focus is NOT to counsel the women on their psychological or physical healing, or even to teach the women basic job skills.
All those are important. I’d rather leverage existing programs for that.

My niche is to teach WIT who are entrepreneurially-inclined to take control of their lives to build a business where they can be in full control.

I’d like them to be entrepreneurs leveraging the internet and social media, because I believe that is where the opportunities currently are.

I started this group to attract:

1. People who are interested in SERVICE

2. People who believe that CHARITY IS THROUGH EMPOWERMENT

3. People interested in helping WOMEN IN TRANSITION

4. People who understand the power of the ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

If this resonates with you so far, please read on.

These are the people I’d like to hear from:

• They know a lot about the different internet business models that could work for WIT



• They have personal experience as a WIT, or have knowledge of successful case studies



• They believe in the concept of Paying It Forward



• They are willing to participate in a mastermind group to evaluate and create new business models for WIT



• They are skilled in designing systems, business joint ventures, etc.
  

I am very excited at the thought of tapping into the hearts and brains of successful entrepreneurs. The energy from such a group would be powerful.


What’s in it for you?
I don’t know. You’re the entrepreneur. You can figure out the win-win line.


Let me give you my working Definition of “Women in Transition”.

WIT can be described as women without a viable long term source of income necessary to survive as a result of

1. Economic downturn

2. Unwise debt accumulation

3. Family/spousal abuse, death or divorce

4. Being caught in the welfare system

5. Having few skills

6. Having low self esteem/confidence

These are women likely with young children, currently totally or partially dependent on the welfare system, friends/family/charitable organizations to survive.

Sad to say, some have actually learned to game the system.

I want to break that cycle.


My Definition of “Charity” is NOT to hand out fish.

It is to teach them HOW TO FISH.

If it is taught right, they will PAY IT FORWARD… by teaching others how to fish.
