Yes, moving on and up. We had some great times in Dallas! Heard you are having a great event in SF this week. You go girl! Glad we can stay in touch through this network.
Hi Maryanne - Thanks for joining MyWomanOwnedBusiness.com. I'm sure in your business, you can share lots of suggestions (and warnings!) about hiring employees! You comment about not having a communications system in place to keep in contact with current customers: You can blog right from this page and then transport that blog to your own website with the RSS feed. You can let clients know what's going on with you, your company and industry trends. You can also ask questions of the women on this network by using the FORUM tab above. And, of course, we'd all appreciate it if you'd invite all the other women business owners you know to join us. You can do that with the INVITE tab. Thanks! How did you hear about MyWomanOwnedBusiness.com?

Nice to see your smiling face - hope you're doing well. Send us some of that great Florida weather, will you?
