WHEN I see so many incredible women in business in our region, I’m reminded of the strength, resilience, and determination that drives them. Whether they’re starting a new business or leading an established one, these women are making a significant impact in our communities.
In my own journey, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges and rewards that come with running a business. For nearly 28 years, I owned and operated a business in the service and training industry, and during that time, I was fortunate to be surrounded by supportive women and a community who helped my business thrive.
Being a woman in business is about more than just achieving personal success, it’s also about creating opportunities for others, sharing knowledge, and being part of a network that uplifts and empowers. I’ve always believed in the importance of mentorship and support, and I’ve seen the difference it can make. When women come together to support one another, incredible things happen. My own journey has shown myself and others, that hard work, passion and the right support can take your business to new heights, and for me that was even on a national scale.
So, to all the women in business, I want to say this: Keep believing in yourself and your vision. Don’t be afraid to take risks, to innovate and to lead. And remember, you’re not alone on this journey. There’s a whole community ready to support you, cheer you on, and celebrate your successes.
