These ladies are certainly on my list of people to watch in Saint John as they are always busy making boss girl moves and taking their businesses to the next level. I am so proud to be a part of the talented woman entrepreneurs that Saint John has to offer and hope to someday accomplish as much as these young ladies have. It’s inspiring to know that there are ladies younger and older than myself that are kicking ass and taking names! And you never know next year it could be me on this list of up and coming female entrepreneurs. Only time and hard work will tell. Until then I will continue to be inspired by all the powerful woman who surround me and keep up the hard work and learning that comes along with being a success. Remember to never give up on your dreams ladies! Anything is possible!
