Women & Investing

Viki Mann, Allstate Financial Services – Personal Financial Representative will be presenting Women & Investing

The purpose of this presentation, is to educate women and debunk their fear of investing. Viki will kick-off August with great ideas for us to ponder when it is time to secure our  financial future.

Her passion for “sharing knowledge” about investing wisely is what gets Viki fired-up each day. As a business professional and single mother of three grown daughters, she wants to help counsel all investors, especially women, to use knowledge to defeat fear, clearly understand their risk profile and how to invest wisely. By nature, women tend to be caring and nurturing. This can result in some women sabotaging their own retirement planning. Her passion and desire are to advise her clients to recognize their fear and strategically plan for their financial future.

Three key points we will learn about and take away…

1.Women as investors – females differ from our male counterparts when it comes to investing. Why women are good investors.
2. Five strategies to help you take control – separating emotion from investing requires the right vision, knowledge, and confidence.
3.How to be empowered — taking-action on your financial plan takes action and grit.

We promote learning from each other and experts in their field so we can gain knowledge, skills, inspiration, courage, and confidence to perfect our business practices to become the best at what we do.
We have launched our Membership drive: July – October with three options to best fit your business situation. You will choose from Ultimate, the most popular for women working fulltime; Nonprofit for women employed or volunteering for nonprofit organizations; or Basic, which is for our Retired, partially retired or a woman who has a fulltime job in addition to her “Side Hustle” (business on the side) that she works when she can.

We endorse giving back to worthy efforts that impact community members and host a different area nonprofit each month when we have the opportunity to donate $5 + 1 business card…or $15 + 3 business cards. This is free choice and at the close of the Workshop we draw a card so both a member and the chosen nonprofit will share the total donated.
