September 01, 2009

In this month’s Pocono Business Journal article “Cream of the Crop: Women in Business 2009” Tim Sohn announces this year’s Top 10, chosen for “their achievements, talents, and drive.”  Among them is Erin Baehr of Baehr Family Financial in Shawnee-on-Delaware, Pennsylvania.  Asked how she got to her current position, Baehr responded: “In 2002, after completing my certified financial planner course work, I took a position in the financial services industry, looking forward to helping people manage their finances in a hands-on, one-on-one way.  Unfortunately, I soon realized my position was more about sales than financial management.  Eventually I discovered fee-only comprehensive financial planning and knew it was right for me.”  When asked how a woman succeeds in this challenging economy, Baehr replied that “she will surround herself with positive influences, learn all she can about her business, what her customers want and how she can offer unique value to them.”
