Barrie's First Women, Wine & Wealth Symposium!

“From Poverty to Profits!”

Meet Shanna McFarlane — Also known as the Power-house Entrepreneur who went from “Homeless on the Streets to Owning the Street!”  Her rags to riches story and life of many adversities will amaze, inspire & empower you; this wife and mother went from being ‘Homeless on the Streets to owning the Street’ in her own right, creating an empire in the business of real estate entrepreneurship!

MAKE 2015 YOUR YEAR OF CHANGE! Did you know - Women are becoming more of a powerful economic force. A Globe & Mail Article recently wrote "Women have long been relegated to the sidelines of the financial services sector, where advisers have traditionally focused on men and their money. Now the tables are turning and wealth managers face an unprecedented transformation as more women outlive their spouses, hold an increasing share of jobs and take greater control over family finances." 

Bottom line: Women are learning, working, earning and controlling wealth more than ever before, and their wealth planning needs have grown accordingly.

So, this is why we are happy to introduce the Barrie Women and Wealth Symposium Saturday January 17th!  ONE DAY ONLY!

If you are a woman looking for options, in a non-intimidating environment then this is for you! We will have on-hand professionals for YOU to get on the information on how you can take control of your finances and wealth, learn what opportunities are available.

*Real Estate Investing Opportunities - What's available/turnkey?

Being A Proud Sister, In This Thing Called “Sisterhood”

In writing my blogs, I hope that they make a difference to people. Not only share a little insight to “my world of thoughts” but to hopefully help uplift those that are experiencing things in their lives and looking for insights and ideas from others. So…in light of this, my husband jokingly will reference my blogs and lovingly poke fun and say ” girl power” (with a smile as he has tremendous respect for what I do). We had an event last night which enabled him to see a little more insight to “my world”.

Being a believer in surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals himself, he said he was amazed at the people I knew and that were also about “empowerment”, positive support and networking. He saw first-hand that our “circle” just seems to gravitate to each other and illuminate a certain energy. In addition, in speaking with other people I introduced him to he also learned that it’s truly about empowering people. That is the true desire. In wanting to celebrate women, it is not alienating the men in our lives and those that love and support us. It should be a matter of equalization of the human race, of all skin colour, beliefs, sex, heritage, as everyone has some sort of adversity to overcome.  Unfortunately, there will always be an imbalance because not everyone will be of the same opinion or value, but at least we are people that make a difference, in our local community. It has to start somewhere. People evolve. SO…with this in mind, let’s celebrate someone who has overcome so much and now, has the opportunity to give back!

I am so excited to share some GREAT news and truly, truly hope that  you, women and men alike will feel inspired by the following story:

Driven by an unrelenting will to succeed and a sincere love for what she does Tahani Aburaneh overcame adversity that would have discouraged many. From her beginnings in a refugee camp in Jordan where she was born, to the prejudices she faced as a woman and mother trying to establish herself in a Country she was not native to, Tahani is well acquainted with struggle. Today her dreams in real estate investment have long been fulfilled and now she can add published AUTHOR! Please  join me in congratulating Tahani Aburaneh for her soon-to-be-released book entitled “Real Estate Riches: Hire the Right Agent and Earn Your First Million Dollars” available July 20th, 2011 Hardcover by John Wiley & Sons. You can preorder at one of the following websites: Amazon.Ca or Chapters/Indigo

She is very humble and says, if she can do it, anyone can. This is why I truly say “real estate investing is not as intimidating as you think”. You just need the right team behind you. So, if you want to create wealth, we don’t need to make excuses because adversity and challenge can be overcome no matter what your background or history. I will end this blog with a note from the Publisher as they’ll say it best. Hope you reserve your copy today in support of Tahani and gain some valuable insight of how you too can accomplish your dreams!
