MAY, 2013

Chatelaine's Jane Francisco highlighted entrepreneurs in her May editor's letter. Defining us as people who have 'initiative and are resourceful, enterprising and committed'. That covers some of the descriptive words unfortunately tired and stressed also come to mind but overall she is right. We love what we do while being aware that we are 'completely responsible for our company's success'. Which is probably why May feels like the crunch time; five months into the year and doing everything possible to have a phenominal 2013.

In order to make that happen entrereneurs need to create a team. Hire experts (even part-time) to work in the areas you are not proficient in. When we try to do everything ourselves the business suffers and the subsequent stress spreads into our personal life. The input of a team enhances growth and provides a fresh perspective on how to do something just that little bit better.

Breast cancer and BRCA are much in the news this month and Jennifer Chandler's column What Breast Cancer has Taught Me chronicles her thoughts and emotions as her mother and sister were both diagnosed in January 2013. While I tackled Angelina, breasts and the press in Your health, Her fame.
