Unless you’re Hatch, that is.

The Hatch Network’s Launch event is coming up on May 5th — Cinco de Mayo — a day traditionally booked for Dos Equis and lime. And yet, weeks before the event, more than 150 women have already registered, eager to hear what Hatch Founders, Alison Covarrubias and Claire Fontana, have to say about their Business Education Network for Women Entrepreneurs.

So if you’re one of those event procrastinators, you’d better not chance it this time. Rumor has it that Claire is personally making each and every quesadilla. Who’d want to miss that?

So Not Sarah Barracuda.

Tomorrow, Saturday September 6, 2008 is the Ladies Who Launch Live event, also known as BYOB, Be Your Own Boss. Jam-packed with energy and inspiration plus plenty of practical tools for designing your own destiny, the daylong workshop is a true celebration of creativity and entrepreneurship as a lifestyle.

Ladies Who Launch is also one of the reasons I don’t have to be a Sarah Barracuda, despite the similarity in initials and name generation abilities. I’ll match your Willow, Trig and Track to my Moooligans, Socialbees and Zinzi anyday.
 
When you have the support and savvy of a group of feisty females — when you know they have your back (and your ankles, should you fall off the stage in your stilettos, as I am apt to do), your path is smoother, your steps sure. You don’t need to take potshots or aim at your competition.  You sail on, knowing that this is an abundant universe and that it is eminently possible for all of us to live our dreams.
Even if your dream includes a moose or two.
See you tomorrow.
