(PRWEB) March 16, 2004 --Bank of America is committed to providing excellence in small business banking. They have provided small businesses across the United States and around the world new and better ways to manage their financial lives and grow their businesses.

Now Bank of America is a proud sponsor of the Womens Small Business Expo, which helps women push the fast forward on their businesses. What makes the Womens Small Business Expo different from other conferences is that women are not just observers. They are active participants in shaping their future. In one weekend, they will write their Entrepreneurial Success Plans, create their destiny, crank up their businesses and grow.

The Womens Small Business Expo will take place at the Wyndham Palm Springs, California on April 23-25, 2004. At the Expo, women will learn success secrets from the nation's top business leaders, and participate in power networking and accelerated learning.

One of the speakers, Sheila Cluff, will tell women how she turned $2,000.00 into a multi-million dollar global fitness empire including The Oaks at Ojai, The Palms at Palm Springs and a fitness cruise business. Wendy Robbins, CEO of Everything for Love, will recount her story of how she was living in a trailer she couldn't even afford and was $10,000 in debt. She invented a stress reliever called The Tingler and now has a global company valued at over $10 million dollars. Other topics include growth strategies for tough times, access to capital, internet wealth, sales, marketing, media, branding and avoiding the most common business blunders.

Linda Hollander, the founder of the Expo and author of the book, Bags to Riches by the Wealthy Bag Lady: 7 Success Secrets for Women in Business, says, The Womens Small Business Expo is all about high-octane entrepreneurial power. Only 20% of all businesses succeed. We want women to give women the edge to be part of that 20%."

According to the Center for Womens Business Research, Women are starting businesses at twice the rate of men, claiming their true economic freedom and rebuilding America. Women make or influence over 80% of all purchases in America. Currently there are over 10.1 million women-owned businesses employing 18 million people and generating $2.3 trillion in sales. The Expo is part of Womens Small Business Month.
