The Woman’s Advantage® Forum is a radical new opportunity for women who own small businesses to receive the structured training and support they need to grow their businesses dramatically.

Each Forum consists of 8-14 non-competing women business owners who meet once a month for a highly-structured, three-hour interactive session.

Year 1 Forum

The Woman’s Advantage® Year 1 Forum gives you the opportunity to set your business on the path for dramatic growth. Each month you read a chapter in our best-selling book, “The Woman’s Advantage: Structure Your Success” and complete a chapter in the accompanying workbook.
