Financial Literacy Month Challenge

The value small business owners bring to the table and what big businesses could learn from them. Cali Pearl launches the first of many complimentary seminars until 100 happier employees are met.

Greensboro, NC April 2010 – Resurgence is taking place as we speak! President Obama recently named April as National Financial Literacy month. So what are Triad financial advisers and financial consultants doing to help build more financial literacy in the Triad? Cali Pearl Financial Corporation will host a series of complimentary seminars on the importance of instilling fiduciary responsibility for businesses until 100 employees are happier, build financial intelligence and are more productive at work.

Starting Thursday, April 29th at 5:00 p.m. at 5009 High Point Road in Greensboro in the Cali Pearl Conference Center, Cali Pearl will launch “Roundtables,” a series of workshops and seminars for business owners to learn more from each other and how women small business owners will soon be unleashed as the “heroes” of recharging the economy. Cali Pearl will educate these business owners and their employees to be financially literate through fundamentals, basics and lots of common sense practices while applying applications themselves to better manage and save their money. Attendees will have the opportunity after “Roundtables” to highlight their business on webcasts sponsored by Cali Pearl. The more business owners are instilled with an obligation of integrity to show they care about their employees financial planning and literacy, leads to more happier and productive people at work.

More small businesses are prospering in a rough economy due to the fact that employees in small businesses perform many tasks and understand better the work processes, feel empowered to learn and implement new ways of productivity. “While most people are thinking about their green thumbs now that we are in Spring, it’s time they start thinking about their green minds,” says founder of Cali Pearl, Sherri Brown. These Roundtable seminars are a way for Cali Pearl to give back to its community and hold itself accountable for taking on Obama’s Financial Literacy importance. Competing Triad financial advisory firms like Triad Financial Advisors, have yet to take on such a challenge. At Cali Pearl, empowering others in their financial security and leading others by looking out for their best interests is Cali Pearl’s passion, goal and drive. Brown provides knowledge, support and resources to professional women who are serious about their money and their future.

While most big businesses are down-sizing small businesses and especially those owned by women will be the key ingredient to recharging the local and global economy. According to Forbes.com “Women-Owned Businesses: America’s New Job Creation Engine” by Mark D. Wolf, women:

• create a more positive work environment
• create more opportunities for others
• will be responsible for creating 5 million new jobs in the U.S. by 2018

The Cali Pearl challenge is on to make 100 employees and business owners in the Triad happier and more productive at work through instilling financial literacy and fiduciary responsibility in its “Roundtable” seminars starting Thursday, April 29th at 5:00 p.m. at 5009 High Point Road in Greensboro in the Cali Pearl Conference Center. The results of this 100 happier and more productive people challenge, will be tracked through internet surveys, integrity of employees and feedback from business owners and seminar participants.
