We’re proud to honor 76 of those women in these pages.

That experience forever changed my perspective on what is important and taught me the most powerful, purposeful lessons of my life. Whether it’s in business or in my personal life, I rely on these lessons to stay focused and aligned with my true values and goals. I want to share some of these lessons with you, so you don’t get derailed by setbacks. <hr /><p><small>Original article published at <a href="www.charlestonbusinessmagazine.com">Charleston Business</a></small></p>urn:uuid:291a4387-236c-4467-9491-4bcb4a44f61b2023-07-10T16:07:25-04:002023-07-11T12:48:03-04:00Lessons Learned: How to Gain From What Life Has Taught You2023-07-10 16:07:25 -0400Jessica DonanRecently, I read an article that stated (and I am paraphrasing) that life is a great opportunity for learning and that people who pay attention to the lessons that life teaches tend to be the ones who attain success.
This article struck a nerve because while my life has certainly taught me a great deal, have I learned from the lessons that life has been teaching me? Furthermore, how were they defining success? I just wasn’t sure, so it led me to be introspective on what actions have I taken related to the lessons I have been taught. <hr /><p><small>Original article published at <a href="www.charlestonbusinessmagazine.com">Charleston Business</a></small></p>urn:uuid:c5ca57d0-1390-4eaa-a476-1d666ea3f5bd2023-07-10T16:14:59-04:002023-07-11T12:47:56-04:00Empowering Entrepreneurship through Strategic Innovation: The CommunityWorks Women’s Business Center2023-07-10 16:14:59 -0400Odeidra WilliamsAs the economic landscape continues to change and evolve, there is a swiftly growing need for capital support and increased education for both aspiring and seasoned business owners.

There’s a reason for that – IAAM’s architect, the late Henry N. Cobb, considered the site “hallowed ground” because it was the entry point for the untold thousands of Africans who were brought to South Carolina as slaves, many of whom died there soon after arrival. <hr /><p><small>Original article published at <a href="www.charlestonbusinessmagazine.com">Charleston Business</a></small></p>urn:uuid:16d79b37-0c43-4bd0-8d6b-851924a0b5272023-07-10T17:12:41-04:002023-07-12T16:31:40-04:00Rise in Autism Diagnoses Partly Tied to Data Collection Methods2023-07-10 17:12:41 -0400Liv OsbyWhen her son was diagnosed with autism nearly three decades ago, Susan Sachs found few services in Upstate South Carolina to help him.

Marketing is always evolving in ways where once-proven tactics for your business become obsolete before you can say the word “meta,” while everyone you know seems to be raving about a new idea that guarantees success, also before you can say “meta.”<hr /><p><small>Original article published at <a href="www.charlestonbusinessmagazine.com">Charleston Business</a></small></p>urn:uuid:15a26012-6002-4f09-9c33-3311921c051d2023-06-13T16:17:34-04:002023-06-22T14:09:10-04:00Small Towns Face Distinct Challenges in Business and Recruiting2023-06-13 16:17:33 -0400Tom BurkinEditor’s note: Tom Barkin delivered this speech at the Investing in Rural America Conference April 12, 2023, in Roanoke, Virginia.
