Today, women are pushing past boundaries and breaking barriers to build lives and businesses that reflect their unique needs and wants. They’re choosing not to limit themselves when it comes to reaching their dreams.

As more women enter into entrepreneurship, building financial knowledge and wellness is more important than ever. And yet, it’s a subject that many women find difficult to talk about. The entrepreneurial journey is complex. Every business is as unique as the woman behind it. Despite all the differences that exist, what stands true for every business owner is that each situation and decision along the journey will have a financial impact both on a personal and business level. Businesses don’t start without money. They don’t grow without money. And they don’t survive without financial management. For any business owner, money isn’t just about meeting numbers or the bottom line; it’s what the numbers afford. Money is the means by which we meet our obligations and fund the chasing of our dreams.

In this panel discussion we’ll be asking our financial experts to share their views on the role that money plays, why it’s so hard to talk about and how to achieve a level of financial clarity that allows you to get the most out of your business and personal life.
