Rise Confidently Into Your Season
of Influence and Increase
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24TH, 2025
9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Wake County Shrine Club
Raleigh, NC



At The Alliance, we think it is ridiculous that 90% of women-owned businesses are run by sole-operators and make less than $100k. 90% of those companies don't make it past 5 years. We are on a mission to change this!
We have found that the main reasons are that women owners are wearing too many hats, are good at too many things, are not operating in their genius, and are not certain of the step-by-step pathway to easily getting our businesses past the $100K mark.
We know what it feels like to exhaust yourself trying to build a successful business while you are raising children and/or taking care of aging parents. All while keeping ourselves looking and feeling good (with a smile on our faces) while we are just getting by financially with all the financial responsibilities on our plates.
This is no joke! That is why we are here.
At The Alliance we believe you can build a high-revenue business without being in overwhelm and stretched too thin. We are on a mission to help your business become one of the 1.7% of women-owned businesses that create at least $1M in revenue.
Join us at our upcoming Uplevel and Rise Conference and see what sets us apart from any other networking organization.

Attending the Uplevel and Rise Conference TRULY changed me and my business. I was able to overcome all fears I had about taking my business to new levels of success. I can truly see myself building a million-dollar-plus business for God's Kingdom work for the first time! My business and my life will never be the same!
I enjoyed the camaraderie, the authenticity of the speakers, and the reunion with my sisters. I am taking a different approach to hiring people. I want more purpose-filled people and team-builders. Thank you for this platform to help me thrive. This was a phenomenal conference! I appreciate everyone who was here. It inspires me to keep going.
The Alliance has not only helped me to start scaling my business and thinking bigger than the box I was in, it has helped me create systems and understand that I don’t have to do it alone. I have a community of people that I can call or text if I have a question or need anything. I always seem to connect with those people I really need to connect with. The Alliance has changed my life!
