Meet Georgina, my silent but powerful happy monkey. I picked                                        APRIL 2013 EZINE
Georgina up at a fundraiser by a local women’s group. Her big
red lips and purple “Think Happy” button caught my eye and                                          Celebrating the success
she’s been perched on my desk smiling back at me ever since.                                        of women entrepreneurs

Owning your own business presents challenges. It might be cash flow on Monday,                      Editor:	
staffing on Thursday and a down website on Friday. Mix that with, picking up your                   Christine Dubyts
mom from the Doctor on Tuesday, planning your daughter’s 3rd birthday party on
Saturday and wondering how you’re ever going to find time to help your son study                    Graphic Design: 	
for his social studies test on Wednesday. Every woman business owner raising a family               Sherrine Lounsbury

little “Georgina” in their life -- Something to prompt us to attitude adjust from feeling           Advertising and feature enquiries send to:

         Entrepreneurship is fantastic, most of the time, but we’ve all had, “one of those          is published by:
         days.” (Yes?) Most of the time a glance at G’s goofy smile get’s me through. It’s
         fast, cheap and less fattening than chocolate! I recommend an attitude adjuster            Dubyts Communications Inc.
