Women Entrepeneur Magazine is the counterpart of Entrepeneur Magazine. This magazine is geared towards professional and business-mined women who seek advice and resources for improving themselves in the business world. This dynamic magazine has several main departments, though one of the most interesting is their “Success Stories” section.

Each issue of Women Entrepeneur Magazine contains short business biographies on women who have been successful, whether by inventing a product and marketing it, adding value to an existing corporation, or by going into business for themselves. This section of the magazine encourages women who want to take risks by showing them that success is achievable. Take the story of Julie Dix and Danielle Ayotte, who started Taggies, Inc. It all began one day when Dix noticed that her newborn was fascinated by the satin tags and ribbons on blankets and toys. On a whim, Dix sewed brightly colored tags and ribbons on the edges of a blanket in hopes of keeping her toddler happy and possibly helping him improve his motor skills.

Other mothers saw the blanket at a playgroup and requested Dix do the same for their children’s blankets. As demand for the “Taggies” grew, Ayotte approached Dix with an offer to team up and begin selling the popular blankets. After seeing their products sell out at local craft fairs, Dix and Ayotte established factories to keep up with demand. Now, their multi-million company is branching out with plush toys, pillows, and education materials.
