Create a Sustainable Lifestyle Business with Five Leading Women Experts

March 30, 2010 - PRLog -- According to the Center for Women's Business Research, 10.1 million firms are owed by women, employing 13 million people as of 2008. Women-owned firms account for 40% of all privately held firms. Yet, historically men have dominated the live business event arena. Not anymore. Five leading women entrepreneurs are hosting the Radiant Success Event www.RadiantSuccessEvent.com, May 20-23, 2010 in Raleigh, NC. Presenters for this first-of-its-kind event include Janis Pettit, Denise Wakeman, Kathleen Gage, Marnie Pehrson, and Ellen Britt. They will be sharing advice, strategies, tactics, and the mindset that helped them get where they are today.

A few years ago an invitation-only group of highly successful women entrepreneurs joined together to form a mastermind group. The goal was to share insights and business building strategies and to support each other's business growth. As it turned out, the combined knowledge and reach of this small group was impressive and vast.

Janis Pettit, the coordinator of the event explains, "We noticed there were few opportunities for small and solo business owners and entrepreneurs to learn the combination of the best business building, income generating and online and offline marketing and mindset strategies from experts at a live event.  And there were none presented by women.

We also knew the power of networking and interacting at a live event is more powerful than any other learning experience. Finally, it bothered us that so many business owners were stuck and needed real help ASAP! Since we shared a mission to help as many people succeed as possible, we decided to work together to create the Radiant Success Event."

"Women entrepreneurs often have families and homes to care for in addition to their businesses. This results in a stressful juggling act with personal relationships, household responsibilities, and entrepreneurship. More than anyone, women entrepreneurs need a lifestyle business that produces revenue while they're handling life's priorities. Men will definitely benefit from the event, but we believe learning from our combined experience as women entrepreneurs will be a breath of fresh air for women seeking to build sustainable, lifestyle businesses," says Marnie Pehrson, creator of IdeaMarketers.com.

Denise Wakeman of The Blog Squad adds, "The Radiant Success event promises to take you through the steps to plan, build and market your business. I'm excited about the speaker line up and the depth of content we'll be covering to support entrepreneurs at every stage of their business development. And nothing beats a live event for accelerating your progress through networking, conversations and opportunities to brainstorm your ideas."
