Ladies Who Launch Portland Incubator
Upcoming Events
About The Incubator:
Rebecca became Portland Leader in June 2007 and enjoys leading this group of positive, dynamic entrepreneurs. She finds that her expertise in internet marketing and small business compliments the Ladies Who Launch model.
If you find yourself on the brink of a new venture, join us! The program is chock full of transformative exercises, clarification, growth tools and information specifically designed to give you real forward movement, clear goals and objectives and breakthrough thinking that will absolutely change the way you think about launching.
Here's what one member said about LWL:
Joining Ladies Who Launch turned out to be one of the smartest business decisions and investments I have ever made. Not only did I form incredible bonds with like-minded, positive, powerful, bright, successful, inspiring women that are transforming into lifelong friendships, but I grew personally and professionally in so many unexpected ways that have been invaluable.
I think the incubators could be called accelerators because when you come out of the four week session you are so energized you feel like you do anything and be successful! It is incredibly powerful to see yourself, and your potential, through another person's eyes. LWL enables you to do just that via a process which allows you to soar to amazing heights. As a mom-preneur, the owner of two successful businesses and founder of a not-for-profit, I highly recommend LWL to any woman who is wants to launch her dream business in a supportive and informative environment.
