September is Women in Business Month
September is Women In Business Month. The numbers have grown and the results are impressive. Many local business women support Woman magazine either by advertising or by sending us press releases. Both are critical to our success and we hope we are part of what makes their businesses successful. Woman magazine wants to congratulate the women in our community that took on the challenge of running their own business. In our feature story, we talked to a few of them and got their thougths and suggestions for those of you thinking about starting your own business. Fashion... Many women are slaves to it. Color and style change from season to season.. I am not a fashion diva, but I do like to keep up with the trends, at least to the point where I don’t look like I’m wearing my high school clothes. By now, those styles have come and gone at least once. Fat chance you’ll ever see me in bell bottoms again.
