As a child, Lori Carter received a simple but powerful lesson from her father: don’t just worry about the eggs—create the basket. When her father lost his job after a company closure and her mother faced a life-altering illness, Lori watched entrepreneurship become the “basket” that sustained their family. That experience ignited her lifelong fascination with business development and the power of self-determined success.
For more than 35 years, Lori built a respected career in urban planning and local government. Yet she never let go of her own dream of creating a basket that would help others achieve theirs. That vision became Solomon’s Financial Solutions, LLC (SFS)—a firm dedicated to guiding entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations toward sustainable growth.
Today, SFS leverages deep expertise in fund development, business planning, and financial strategy to help clients launch or expand their ventures. With a proven track record of over $20 million in business plan development, start-up funding, and nonprofit growth projects, SFS equips clients to secure resources, eliminate debt, and win effectively.
Lori is also a national speaker, trainer, and seminar leader, inspiring audiences across the country to build opportunity and Make Every Day Count. Whether you’re starting a business, scaling an existing model, or strengthening your nonprofit, SFS provides the strategies and support to help you create your own basket—and fill it with success.
