Well maybe not in the manner Imelda Marcos was accustomed to. BUT for women in business for themselves? You BET!
Oh I love this story.
Before we get going, who are we talking about?
Madison Harding.com, a three year old company based out of New York City. Their first shoe collection came out in 2007. Hilary Rosenman and Barri Budin met in their junior year at Skidmore College. Just a few years later they started designing shoes for their own shoe company. Now Madison Harding Shoes is presenting their fifth collection in three years.
Before it all got started, these two young women had been based out of NY/NJ. At that time Hilary began by working for Charlotte Ronson, a young American/british designer (2000) whose design consisted of vintage tees and lingerie then went into adding wedge heels. This is where Hilary got her “shoe contacts”. Barri began by working in a sales showroom , a job she deeply disliked and wanted to get out of. She then got work at NYU. The two young women began working toward their dream while keeping their jobs.

Have Dreams of Growing Your Business? Read On.
Last week, Girlgrants wrote a post about women-owned businesses and how they are performing as a group to add to the US economy. Seeing how many were involved in the health care industry, Lisa L. decided to contact Girlgrants to ask
what would be available for her business. She owns a business in Indiana involved in the health care industry, providing treatment and education to her community especially for children with special needs. She told how she sees so much more she could do to address these children, but could not remotely figure out how she would go about funding it.
After asking whether she had any clear ideas what she would do if she were given some funding, it became apparent that she already had a good plan. The budget had already been clearly outlined. The locations to provide the service had already been selected. She had even gotten permission from the schools and libraries to use their facilities a few afternoons per month. She simply lacked the funds. Did the government have any funding for something like her business?
Going straight to Grants.Gov online, within 30 minutes, we had found 81 options for her to look into. One in particular suited her interest and as she looked at her profile and saw that she qualifies as an applicant.
