Event Recap: Female Millionaire Detroit
Connecting Female Entrepreneurs with Real Women Millionaire
On Sunday evening I attended an event called Female Millionaire created by Femology Detroit. Femology had this cool idea to link entrepreneurs, business owners to a 3 women who were killing the game from all angles.
So again, Femology had an idea to connect a female millionaire, along with others to share the ends and outs of entrepreneurship to women like me who are just getting started. I can really say that a fire was lit inside of me to think of creative ways to build my brand, and create a product that founded off of my principles as a blogger. Ever since I was younger I always wanted to own my own business. I want to be my own boss so it was only right to be present at this event. Get a early start on building the foundation to creating a service or product to offer. With all that being said let me spill the tea.
Below I am going share each panelist and list the best entrepreneurial tips they provided.
First panelist was Laura Horworth, Owner of Ferne Boutique, provides contemporary clothing and accessories at an affordable price in Detroit and Bay City, Michigan. She express some of the pros and cons she experience as a business owner of 2 stores.

She decided instead of finish her degree she was going to go for passion. First she had to figure out what that was…. self discovery phase.

I have to be honest I was looking for an outfit at the last minute for this event. Of course my money was a bit limited so I had to rely on what I already had in my closet. Shopping you closet in my opinion is an excellent way to save money. I wanted to pair these cute gingham ankle pants with a bold color sweater. I wanted to go for a red sweater but I found a this cable knit mustard sweater instead. This sweater cost $25 bucks!
