Launchpad for Ladies

Starting a business is daunting in the extreme for most people but when you are a woman the barriers seem so much greater. Time management with children, husbands whose careers often take precedence and our own lack of confidence are all real challenges we need to overcome.

Project-u is committed to supporting and developing women entrepreneurs. To do that we have developed a new program called 'Launchpad for Ladies'. This program will be a major project for 2007.

Launchpad for Ladies will focus on support, resourcing, finance and the myriad of challenges faced by Women Entrepreneurs. As well as seminars and coaching we will offer bootcamps, networking events and a marketplace to enable women to buy services and products from other women. Initially the service will be physical but over time there will be a virtual program available for those unable to attend seminars in their region. Currently the program is only available in Western Australia but will be available nationally and internationally later in the year.

The current seminar outline includes a business start-up program called 'Lady to Launch' and a business improver program called 'Million Dollar Lady'.
