Where Women Create Business Magazine Summer 2013

As artisan entrepreneurs, one always worries if there will ever come a day they are no longer afraid - afraid of paying more attention to our jobs and business than our family and children, afraid cash flow won't be enough to pay the bills while our dreams grow, afraid that regardless of the research we do, and the voice of instinct whispering in our ears - that we might be making the wrong decisions. These fears can take your breath away , all while causing enormous waves of anxiety, doubt, and insecurity. But we continue day to day - fears or no fears. As entrepreneurs who rely on their own resources, we can be afraid to turn down that new job, new gig, a healthy commission, and we have trouble hiring people - because who will be as committed to our success as we are? - and we end up doing more than we are humanly capable of - both at work and at home - because it just seems easier and most cost effective to do everything ourselves. Because of this, we are simply too busy with the day-to-day of keeping everything going and together, that we can loose focus on the bigger picture. In this issue, you'll find featured women entrepreneurs and their stories, maybe just the one that gives you the inspiration and "guts" to go forward with one of your fears. You'll also find legal advice, blogging and doing your best at it, accounting advice, media matters, "Website 101", working with a PR team, understanding banking, government funding, and a wealth of information in one place that most of us need and if we had to time to look it up one by one, we probably would - eventually. For the already busy and often overwhelmed entrepreneur - you'll find so much in one place, you might actually want to take a break and do a little reading!
