Women and Money Book Club Orlando
2019-07-26 17:30 - 19:30 | StarterStudio Downtown, 101 South Garland Avenue Suite 108, Orlando, FL, 32801, us
During this Book Club Event, we’ll look at how money feels good to you. What brings you joy and pleasure with money. If money brings in negative feelings- time to expose and evaluate that. Not from judgment, shame, fear or guilt, rather from a place of allowing money to be on the table and be exactly what it is….Money. We all need it. We all use it, for the exchange of life giving activities from necessities to pleasures, to unexpected occurrences. There is a saying that goes, value people use money. Now as women, together we can create a strong cohesive community which does just that, values people. We value people when we recognize, appreciate and listen to them. Plus share in others successes, which is really important to me as well as celebrate each others wins. This one comes from Taryn Brown, inspired by our first conversation!! I was inspired after our first meeting and I needed some money to help pay some bills. Normally I would not have asked, and instead would have taken it and apologized later. This time, I elected to work for it from my family. I decided to be more transparent with them, tell them exactly how much I needed and told them I’d earn it. It’s not a big win, but it’s a big step in a financially responsible direction for me. I’m really excited about this group and so proud to be a part of it.” Taryn Brown Way to GO TARYN!!! This months book is The Law of Divine Compensation by Marianne Williamson We’ll look at the philosophies, beliefs and teachings Marianne Williamson inspires and teaches others in relationship with Money Looking to see you at the July Women and Money Book Club Event.

The number of resources available to veterans, entrepreneurs, and small business owners is quite incredible.

One of FAVOB’s primary objectives is to “inform”, so join us for this next Lunch & Learn as our Executive Director, Barron Mills, provides a laundry list of resources and opportunities for entrepreneurs and business owners. The presentation will provide details on many of them so that you can utilize the ones that best fit your needs.
Barron Mills is a retired Marine Corps infantry officer. During his 20-year military career, he tackled numerous projects that required the assimilation of unique and disparate information in order to properly frame the problem and put the best team and plan in place to solve it. He continues to look for problem solving opportunities through both for-profit and nonprofit opportunities. In addition to serving as FAVOB’s Executive Director, Barron is a consultant and serves on a half-dozen Boards and Councils as a veteran advocate and business connector in Central Florida.
