CHICAGO  -- Ladies Who Launch, the first new media company to provide resources and connections for women entrepreneurs, announces that it is expanding into Chicago.  Traci Ellis is the new market director of Ladies Who Launch Chicago.

The fact is that women are launching businesses at twice the rate of men, and they are doing it primarily for lifestyle reasons – they want more freedom, flexibility and creativity in their lives. Ladies Who Launch works to make entrepreneurship accessible to any woman with a project, dream or aspiration to start her own business and be successful. We have found a definitive link between launching a business and higher self-esteem and happiness.  

“There are so many barriers to women launching businesses, but Ladies Who Launch Chicago provides the resources, community and support to address these barriers and to make entrepreneurship within reach to all women across the greater metropolitan Chicago area,” says Traci Ellis, market director of Ladies Who Launch Chicago.

Author, speaker, practicing attorney and passionate promoter of women entrepreneurs, Traci Ellis is not your typical business lawyer. Known for telling it like it is, she likes to “keep it real” with new business owners while sharing practical wisdom and refreshing insight on legal and business issues related to starting, running and growing small businesses. Traci brings nineteen years of practicing law and “baptism by fire” entrepreneurship experience to Ladies Who Launch Chicago.

“Ladies Who Launch Chicago provides female entrepreneurs with encouragement, inspiration and advice on launching, growing and running their businesses. I’m so excited to bring the feminine approach to launching a business to the Chicago market,” Traci says.

Ladies Who Launch is the largest, global forum for like-minded women with the desire to be creative and live life on their own terms. The online community at ladieswholaunch.com provides women with inspirational stories as well as resources for online marketing, public relations and branding, health insurance, web design, product development and more.

Ladies Who Launch Chicago also provides the unique opportunity for women to join local In-Person Communities to participate in the following:
• Incubator Intensive, a 4 week workshop designed to expand and clarify each woman’s vision for her business or project
• Fresh Entrepreneur Workshop, a 6 week workshop designed to dig deeper and focus on 7 main areas of each woman’s business
• Join the STRATA Membership and receive local as well as national benefits including advertising and exclusive PR opportunities
• Attend local LINC Up! meetings (Launching in an Inspirational Networking Community)
• Attend local STRATA meetings where expert speakers offer educational opportunities for attendees
