Each spring PEI Living Magazine focuses on Island women who have chosen the entrepreneurial career path. Being an entrepreneur is challenging, terrifying, frustrating and most of all, rewarding.
Building a business – and maintaining its success – takes confidence, determination and the ability to take risks. According to Statistics Canada, there were 1,079,000 self-employed women in Canada in 2018, accounting for 37 per cent of all self-employed persons. Almost 60 per cent (635,000) were unincorporated businesses with no employees.
