According to Laurel Douglas, CEO of the Women's Enterprise Centre, "Women are changing the business world without even knowing it. They're doing it by just trying to meet the demands of their lives." Perhaps that is why 4 out of 5 new businesses in Canada are now begun by women, creating the fastest growing economic segment in our country: the female entrepreneur.

Underpinning this growing trend is the willingness to embrace web-based marketing. Take for instance Heather Gorringe, worm farmer extraordinaire based in rural England. Check out her not-to-be-missed video, and more about her amazing retail company, Wiggly Wigglers.

We congratulate Heather, winner of the first ever Global Dell Small Business Excellence Award ... this just goes to show that we can do it too! Make It Here in Annapolis Digby, home of the FUNDYweb broadband network and all those lovely fibre optic strands of cable just waiting to announce your goods and services to the world...
