OUR THEME
This year's Simply Inspirational for Women in Business Journal, will be looking at the Caribbean Business Woman and her role in the global economy. We believe that she has the skills and to a great extend the knowledge, as well as a willingness, to expand and grow her business.
Our core theme for this year's journal is looking at the development of women entrepreneurship in the Caribbean and showing how women-based businesses from across the globe can connect with and do business with the Caribbean Business Entrepreneur. Through this publication, we hope to bring the Caribbean business woman face-to-face with women entrepreneurs in the USA, Canada, Africa, Indonesia, India, etc., Our objective is to help women in the Caribbean to connect with women outside, globally, to build and grow their businesses. As a Caribbean business woman, we have skills and resources that we can use to enlarge our business. She also have a lot to offer, but her market can be limited. How can the Caribbean businesswoman expand her market while women in other parts of the world also grow their businesses?
In our last edition, "Sophia's Story" was a very powerful story that women experience and it is a recurring story for many women in business? Research shows that women over all are subjected to abuse and violence and live in poverty. How much is this reflected in the women that you know? Can you share your experience, using just one woman. It will be great to join in this challenge to change the lives of women who are living under these conditions; Do you think that their freedom is tied to an applied education centered with entrepreneurship?
There will also be a personal components, through our use of Women in Business Profiles. These profiles are professional descriptors of a woman entrepreneur in any area of business with a focus on what factors were responsible for her entering an entrepreneurial journey, what are some of the challenges faced, how important was finance to the design and development of her business and was she able to find solutions to it. Other areas include, the role of computer-based technology in the development of the business and social media in the promotion of the business. These and some questions that looks at the philosophy of the business owner, the rationale, and what advice would she gave a women who is now embarking on a vocation of entrepreneurship?
