September 22nd, 2008 by Emira · 2 Comments

There are so many awe­some local busi­ness groups for the entre­pre­neur­ial gal in search of cama­raderie and sup­port. The Austin based, Babes in Busi­ness, just came across on my Twit­ter Feed (thanks to Craft Magazine’s awe­some Twit­ter mis­sives).

A few weeks ago I was in a plan­ning and strat­egy meet­ing for a non-profit client that is under­go­ing a bit of a re-branding process. As a part of the meet­ing the var­i­ous com­mu­ni­ca­tions folks at the table were dis­cussing with the client what types of mar­ket­ing mate­ri­als they’d like to apply the new identity […]

They are a group of truly inspir­ing, rockin’ gals who not only shared the details of their entre­pre­neur­ial jour­neys with us, but also affirmed our belief that there were other women out there like us, who […]
