How does a world famous photographer end up owing $24million to what has been described in newspaper stories as "art world/underworld pawn shop"- the Art Capital Group? It sounds like Annie Leibovitz may have done, on a very grand scale, what millions of talented women artist and entrepreneurs do with their businesses. They focus on taking their photos, making their art, selling their products and paying way too little attention to the money side of their business. Sometimes they hire professionals to help them sometimes they don't. By avoiding her financials while she was capturing incredible moments on film, Annie has jeopardized her economic and artistic independence. At Count Me In, we help women everyday to seize their financial freedom by making friends with their financial information and digging their way out of years of neglect and denial when it comes to sound business practices. Too many women walk around thinking they don't have a head for numbers; that they are the creative ones. We either try to ignore our numbers and just hope we end up with some money. Annie, your photos are legendary. Now you have the opportunity to inspire millions of women to take control of their businesses and their hard earned money. Join us at Count Me In for Women Economic Independence.
