NAWBO KC hosts the first Million Dollar Panel
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
November 11, 2021
Mic drops left and right! The first Million Dollar Panel delivered business-changing nuggets of wisdom to members of NAWBO KC this week.
Thank you to the esteemed panel who joined NAWBO KC:
Erica Brune, President, Lever1
Lenora Payne, CEO, Technology Group Solutions (TGS)
Stephanie Sage, CEO, Sage Restoration
Mandy Shoemaker, Co-Founder, Prairie Elder Care
The audience of women business owners appreciated the question about being a woman business owner in a male-dominated field. Ms. Payne summarized her experience in tech saying, “No one cares about your gender as a business owner if you’re getting the work done. They get over the surprise quickly when their work is getting done.”
Final advice offered so generously was…
Brune advises to never stop looking at your numbers and price according to your vision for growth.
Payne advises business owners to enjoy their business and life.
Sage and Shoemaker’s final advice was about work-life balance. Sage advises to listen to your body when it’s telling you to slow down.
Shoemaker advises to maintain work-life balance even when there are many demands of your time.
These four exceptional business owners prove it is possible to build a business over a million dollars while enjoying life—priceless!
Shoemaker is the current president of NAWBO KC. Sage is the immediate past president, and Brune served as president prior to Sage. NAWBO KC leaders thrive!
