You’re invited: February ABWA Luncheon
Join us for our February Meeting!
In less than 10 years, she went from single mom serving tables at Cracker Barrel, to buying her first business, growing it, and selling it to achieve a level of wealth and independence she had only dreamed about. Della is the publisher of the Shift-N-Gears.com bi-weekly newsletter, designed to help women buy, grow, and sell small businesses. The free newsletter is part of a larger, developing educational platform encouraging women to pursue their dreams of entrepreneurship through acquisition, buying a profitable business that can support their lifestyle, rather than the hard, risky path of the startup.
