For anyone who missed last night’s 15th Birthday Celebration with The New Hampshire Women’s Business Center’s … here are my opening remarks:
.
Like many here today, I am a corporate dropout. Seven years ago I gave up a career in international sales and marketing for the fun, flexibility and … yes, the fear of self employment. I have come to realize that for all practical purposes the world is made up of two kinds of people: entrepreneurs and those who wish they were entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurial women play a critical role in our economy –
From A to Z …
We are accountants, analysts and advisors,
Bakers, builders and bookkeepers
Consultants, cooks and candlestickmakers
Dog walkers, designers and DJ’s
Engineers, environmentalists,
Franchisees, florists and freelancers.
We are good at what we do.
We are hairdressers,
Ice cream makers,
Jewelers, jugglers and journalists.
We are kindred spirits, killer saleswomen … we are the whole kit and kaboodle.
We are lawyers,
Moms, marketing gurus, massage therapists and manicurists.
And we ain’t nobody’s fool.
It goes without saying;
we are optimistic and passionate about our businesses,
the quintessential queens of our domains.
We are retailers and radio show hosts,
Strategists, software experts and scientists,
Technicians,T-shirt designers and tutors.
We are undeniably very, very good at what we do because
We are wise & wonderful, xceptional Yaa Yaas with a zest for life and maybe just a little bit zany.
I guess we have to be – to do what we do.
Best Happy Birthday wishes to the WBC and women entrepreneurs throughout New Hampshire!
