Meet Pam Lawhorne...

She is the Chief Empowerment Officer of Empower U, Incorporated, a training and consulting firm that specializes in interactive workshops, seminars and coaching programs.

Pam is the author of “From Minimum Wage To Getting Paid! How To Become A Successful Entrepreneur With No Money, Education, or Experience!” and will soon release her newest book “10 Tips To Help Teens Seize Their Entrepreneurial Dreams” in the Spring of 2008. She’s also a syndicated columnist who writes articles on empowerment, entrepreneurship, and personal development. Her articles appear nationally in newspapers, magazines, business websites and on-line publications.

Pam came from humble beginnings and having no formal education, she knows first hand how difficult life can be when you do not have the right tools required to become successful. She considers herself very fortunate because through books, classes, life experience and training programs she was able to break herself free from the cycle of poverty. She knows the grim reality of what her life would be like had she not pursued some form of education which is why her mission, and her passion is to help empower others so that they too can have the opportunity to live their lives at full potential.

Pam was born and raised in Chicago, IL where she was a single mom on welfare by the age of 16. She married at 20 and by the time she was 26 she had two children, had escaped an abusive marriage and was back on welfare, barely able to support her children. With no money, or definite place to live she decided to take a risk and moved herself and her children to Charlotte, NC to make a fresh start. That is where she began her own real estate business out of her tiny two-bedroom apartment. She had no budget and her clients came from knocking on doors. But with persistence her sales began to grow and so did her clientele and for the first time in her life she was off welfare. Today she travels the country providing motivational speeches and instructional seminars to aspiring business owners.

Pam and husband Chris have two children and reside outside of the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Along with her husband, they have launched several companies which include a real estate investment firm, a mortgage brokerage, a real estate sales firm, a marketing company and a training and consulting firm.

"If someone tells me that I can't then I know that I can. If someone tells me that I won't then I know that I will. If someone tells me that it's impossible then I know it will be hard but I will try anyway. You see, success to me is not optional. It's an absolute necessity!"
