“At Count Me In believe that entrepreneurship equals leadership. So what does it take to be an entrepreneurial leader? In business and in life it takes part vision and discipline, part creativity and tenacity, part risk-taker and earth-shaker, part courage, confidence and commitment. It also takes a strong community. That’s where we come in. Because we believe in the power of women entrepreneurs, we’ve created the Count Me In Leadership Institute (http://www.makemineamillion.org/site/index.php?id=198) to help you nurture and enhance that power to successfully grow your business and yourself. We’ve selected topics you’ve told us are important to you, taught by the experts you’ve come to know and love.

Most of all, there will be lots of time to share with and learn from each other, one of the hallmarks of the Count Me In community. ”
