PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - Mar 26, 2013) - As founder and CEO of Instant Barter, LLC (http://www.instantbarter.com), Ana Hawk saw opportunity where many might have previously seen despair.

For Hawk, bartering is an everyday part of her life. As the founder of Instant Barter, Hawk oversees a complex bartering exchange market that services thousands of businesses and persons nationwide, representing more than $100 million in products and services available via barter exchange.

Hawk is also the creator of "My Barter Game™" -- a fabulous tool for teaching the art of barter to persons of all ages. "'My Barter Game™' is a fun, educational and interactive board game that can be enjoyed by family, friends and co-workers, and that can also be used as an effective vehicle for teambuilding," Hawk said of the unique board game.

For Hawk, bartering is a method that all persons can embrace and profit from.
