I’m often asked “Why is it the Women’s Prosperity Network? Don’t you believe in prosperity for men too?” Yes, I believe in prosperity for men, and in fact, I love and appreciate men!  So the question remains … why women?
 
     Is it because I am a woman?  (I’m sure that’s part of it.)
 
     Is it because as a working woman and a single mom, finding the balance between family, work and personal enrichment was such a challenge for so long? (I know that’s part of it too and why WPN provides the place for women to “Be Real, Get Real & Achieve Real Results.”)
 
    Is it because in America women still are paid less than men for doing the same job? (Even though women control 85% of consumer purchases, it would appear that giving women higher pay would help the economy!)
 
    Is it because in many countries women are still treated like second class citizens, enjoy no liberties or freedom and worse, are the subject of abuse and victimization?
 
    Of course it is for all those reasons and so many more.  On a more personal note, my ‘why’ and mission for empowering women is prompted by a response to the initial women’s liberation movement in the 1970′s.  As women began to assert their power, they were viewed, by women as well as men, as too strong and aggressive and perhaps many were.  I recall seeing a seminar for women named “How to be Ambitchous”, now who really wants that? 
 
    My mission is for women to tap into their power as women, not women trying to act like men.  We all know full well that men and women are different, and these differences are wonderful.  It is time for us as women, to tap into our power – as women, to appreciate men for who they are and together create an amazing harmonious world!
