Support System
Bringing together busy female execs can be big business.
Annette White Klososky, 37, is inspired by the challenge of
making something from nothing, and has put this asset to good use
by building her own Edmund, Oklahoma, coaching and consulting firm,
Future Point of View LLC. So when the founders of
EWF International, a professional women's group that
organizes peer advisory boards, approached White Klososky in 2003
about becoming the company's first franchisee, she couldn't
turn down the opportunity. "One thing that intrigued me was
the idea of growing up in this organization," she says.
"I knew there would be a lot of opportunity."
White Klososky had already been involved with EWF International
for two years as a member of one of the advisory groups. She had
experienced the benefits of having a group of experienced women to
turn to for support and feedback, so the transition from member to
franchisee was easy. Says White Klososky, "I believed in the
product. I never felt like I was selling something."
This belief armed White Klososky with the confidence to recruit
busy female executives. She is responsible for three advisory
groups in the Oklahoma City metro area and facilitates monthly
meetings. Her 2005 projected revenues are $250,000. "I get the
most joy connecting with people," she says. "I want to
help people achieve their version of success."
