The Divine Diva—Elon Bomani

I have met some fantastic women this week. I went to an e-women networking event, to support my friend Elizabeth Gordon. She was the keynote speaker that night, promoting her new book “The Chic Entrepreneur”. I really enjoyed the women I met and plan to do business with many of them in the near future. Women supporting women. Moms supporting moms. Isn’t that the way it ought to be?

I interviewed a millionaire mom this week named Elon Bomani from www.DivineDiva.com. Her story of struggle and triumph is harrowing and amazing. Elon and her husband divorced, and she was left to care for their son. Ultimately, they ended up in a homeless shelter. When that happened, Elon vowed to get her power back and figure out a better path. Using her resourcefulness and “never quit trying attitude” she persevered. She became a millionaire by flipping real estate in California during the real estate market heyday.

Life is about choices. If you stick your head in the sand and don’t put forth the effort to be responsible for your financial welfare, then you have made a choice. Elon’s choices first led her down a path she was not happy with. The beautiful thing about life in America is you can change your circumstances by purposely choosing to do so. Elon is a shining example of this. She made the choice to sacrifice and work really hard at ensuring success. Think about Elon whenever you have moments of self doubt or just don’t feel like dealing with the unfamiliar (especially finances). I know she has touched my life. That’s a divine diva for you!
