A few weeks ago we shared the success story of Camille Rose on this blog. She’s an entrepreneur who has started and run several successful businesses, and she credits her belief in the importance of a business plan, and the power of positive thinking, as keys to her success.

With a strong passion for startups in general, and specifically those started and run by women, Camille operates a consulting firm called Pink Purse Ventures. Her goal is to help other women realize the dream of business ownership.

On May 15, Camille will be leading a seminar called “Your Business Plan is Like a Bra… it supports your every move,” in Walnut Creek, California. According to Camille, whether you’re a startup looking for a bank loan or a business that’s already up and running but looking to grow, “business planning allows you to accomplish these goals.” One seminar participant will win a copy of Business Plan Pro, to assist them on the planning process.

Congratulations to Sarah Lanphier, of Nuts About Granola. We recently featured her success story here on our blog. Yesterday, her granola was featured on the Rachel Ray show as the Snack of the Day (complete with a link to the Nuts About Granola website  from the show’s website).

Rachel and her guest Katie Couric being seen on national television with their products can only mean good things for Nuts About Granola. So congrats again, Sarah and company!
