IF YOU ARE a woman en-
trepreneur, are planning on
becoming one or are still

dreaming about it, there is a
seminar you should attend.

Moneca Litton, experienc-
ed in motivational training, is
offering one-day seminars
and a series of seminars in the
new year on the ups and
downs of women in business,
which includes guest speakers
who give experienced advice.

Litton, whose background .

includes fashion designing,
writing, radio, cosmetology,
manufacturing, television
and business workshops, br-
ings to the meetings a wide
range of interests and exper-
ience.

**In all cases (her working
ventures), I’ve learned to sink
or swim,’’ Litton says. ‘I’ve

been successful, and | want.

other women to have that
success, too.They can have it,
but they’ll have to pay.’’

Pay for it in hard work,
that is. Litton explains that
women are getting tired of
not receiving credit for their
work, and are looking for a
change.

One example Litton gave
was a secretary who worked
for a large company, and
then decided to take her ex-
pertise and start her own
company, a newsletter on
Vancouver and Toronto
stocks and bonds, but found
her supporters backed out,
leaving her with a $100,000
debt.

**She fell on her bum, but
she picked herself back up
and is now very successful.”’

The next Litton seminar is
on December 14, and will
give a general overview of
women working for
themselves to generate an
awareness in women.

But the series of six lec-
tures, which will run from
January to March, will start

with finding the right
business, which includes per-
sonal satisfaction, and move
into establishing a business,
preparing a business plan,
managing business finances,
promoting and marketing a
business and feeling good
about it.

The women can take all of
the seminars or just the ones
they feel they need, Litton ex-
plained. ‘‘The series seminars
help people continue their
motivation. Most people go
to a lecture and get all fired
up, but 99 per cent of the
time the positive input leaves
the next morning. The con-
tinued program keeps up the
motivation and = provides

direction.’’

Litton adds that
**businesses fail because they
haven’t taken time to chart
their courses.’’

Because of the lack of
entrepreneurial training
available, Litton felt the need

to get involved. She says the
word ‘entreprenuer’ means
risk and profit, ‘‘and damn
it, even if you make dollies
out of your home, you’re an
entrepreneur. I'm big on let-
ting people experience power.
let’s do something good for
ourselves.’’

And Litton should know
because she has done very
well for herself, so why
shouldn't she share the
