Nell Merlino: Don’t Settle for Small

Remember Take Your Daughter to Work Day? Say thank you to Nell Merlino. No longer so unusual for women to have unique and interesting work, it is called Take Your Child to Work Day. She helped change the horizons for our daughters. What has Nell set her sights on now? Nothing less than economic empowerment of women. She believes that we can never have true equality until we have and are comfortable with our own money. Thank you, Nell! Here’s is how she is approaching this goal: her organization, Count Me In, is the leading not for profit provider of online business loans, resources and community for women entrepreneurs. Started in 2001 with start up funding from American Express, Count Me In has already made a difference in the business lives of over 1,000 women! In 2005, Nell started Make Mine a Million $ Business, M3 to the cognoscenti, providing a combination of money, mentoring, marketing and technology tools that women entrepreneurs need to help grow their businesses from micro to millions. The best part is there have been several Silver Vixens who have won this award! Nell knows that we are one of the largest markets starting businesses and she wants us to know the fun of building a million dollar business. Nell? Did we say, “Thank you!”?
