I was recently sent information about an up-coming financial planning seminar for women. Now I realise this isn’t going to be relevant for everyone who reads this blog regularly, however I feel it’s still worth mentioning for those who are interested.
“A seminar aptly titled ‘A man is not a financial plan’ that will teach women how to identify the keys to wealth creation and guide them towards financial independence will be hosted by financial advisory group, Omniwealth in Sydney on Tuesday, 25 May 2010.
The evening seminar will provide women with the information they need to start their own financial plan, for themselves and for their families as well as empower them to be independent and financially savvy.
Financial Empowerment Coach Linda Coates is the presenter and is passionate about encouraging others, particularly women, to take a proactive approach to maintaining their wellbeing – financially, physically, mentally and spiritually. She’s excited about bringing this groundbreaking financial education seminar to Sydney women.
“Women are earning more than ever and have purchased 55 per cent more property in the past decade than in the previous one. Yet compared to their male counterparts, they are really losing out on the long-term benefits of investing,” said Coates.
“Most women aged 24 to 40 do not have any kind of financial well-being roadmap even though more than 75 per cent of them will spend a decade or more living by themselves. So it’s imperative that women equip themselves with the knowledge and understanding of what they need to do to look after their own finances,” she added.
When: Tuesday, 25 May 2010
6 pm for 6:30 pm start, finishes at 9 pm
Drinks and nibbles will be provided after the presentation
Where: Macquarie Bank building
Level 3 auditorium, 1 Martin Place, Sydney
Cost: $49 for one ticket or $75 for two tickets
Presenter: Linda Coates from Women Building Wealth
Omniwealth’s ‘A man is not a financial plan’ is a proud supporter of Dress for success. For each event ticket purchased, $10 will be donated to Dress for success, a non profit organisation established to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and life.
Omniwealth is an independently-owned financial advisory group that focuses on wealth accumulators aged 30 to 50 years old. Sunshine Estivo, owner and Managing Director, is passionate about enabling women to become more financially savvy. Omniwealth strives to educate its clients and empower them. Unlike many financial advisors, Omniwealth provides advice to its clients on the purchase of specific residential properties.”
No matter what your plans are over the festive season, I’d just like to wish you a very merry Christmas. I hope you’re enjoying creating some wonderful memories with your friends and loved ones.
Tom and Janna at Inspired Health Strategies have been working hard preparing for the 50 day challenge, where they aim to raise $50,000 in 50 days for the Heart Foundation’s 50th birthday. The campaign will run from 1 June 2009 until 19 July 2009.
I believe the donation area is being managed directly by the Heart Foundation and will be set up before 1 June. Tom and Janna are putting their heart and soul into this project and I encourage anyone who’s able to get behind them.
And someone who’s behind this cause 100% is Steven Essa who you may recall reading about here last week. Steven is running the X-10 Effect Workshop in Sydney on 30th May 2009. To contribute to the 50k in 50 Days Challenge, Steven has kindly offered to donate ALL PROCEEDS from this workshop to the Challenge! Plus, he’s giving away a holiday as an incentive to book – all attendees will go into a draw to win two-night’s accommodation for two people at the Pacific Blue Resort, Nelson Bay.
Have a look at this to find out more about Steven’s generous offer for X-10 Effect attendees or visit the 50k In 50 Days Challenge site to find out more about how you can help.
This ‘Did You Know…?’ video is very interesting. In fact, if you actually stop and think about the figures that are given in this, ‘interesting’ is an under-statement – it’s absolutely staggering!
I believe this helps to demonstrate just how huge the Internet is and why I firmly believe there is enough of it for us all to share it as a marketplace. And being a bit of a geek at heart, I have to admit I find these stats really intriguing.
Yours Truly is a cover girl (no, not just in my dreams!)
I’ve been featured in the Inspiring Women section of the special ‘Business Planning’ edition of the Business Mums Magazine. Plus, I managed to get myself on the cover too! How cool is that?
I was recently speaking with an associate who wants to learn a particular skill however she can’t afford to undertake a set course to learn the skills she needs.
While there’s no doubt that professional courses are a great way to learn, unless you specifically need the certification of your qualifications, there are many other ways that you can learn new skills – and they don’t have to cost you anything.
In this particular instance, I suggested that my client visit her local library and borrow a variety of books on the topic. She could also join industry groups where she’s sure to get lots of helpful tips as well as access to a range of resources. Another good way to learn is to find out who the industry leaders are or who are considered amongst the best at this particular skill. Then find out if they run any coaching programs or even if they offer a regular newsletter. By subscribing to their newsletter you can learn a wealth of great information as well as getting great tips, referrals to other useful resources or special offers for up-coming products or events that may be useful.
So if there’s something that you would like to learn or refresh your skills at, don’t just look for the obvious. Think outside the square and you’re sure to come up with a few good ideas.
