September 18, 2013 · 0 Comments

Join Caledon Small Business Enterprise Centre (SBEC) at Caledon Community Services (CCS) in Bolton next Friday (Sept. 27) from 10 to 11:30 a.m., for a special presentation by self-employed guest speaker Marnie Ferguson.
Ferguson will discuss her experience becoming an entrepreneur; including the steps she followed to start her own business. There will be an open discussion, including topics such as weighing the challenges and the rewards, taking each aspect of the “dream” and how to make it a reality, and how to access the resources and supports needed to keep focused and on track to success, and much more.
Ferguson has been in the book publishing industry in Canada for more than 25 years, holding a variety of senior management roles in client services, sales and retail. Currently, she provides editorial services and advice to individuals who want to publish their work, and to corporate clients who are seeking professional editorial services, as well as consulting with publishers who require freelance copy editing, proofreading or developmental editing.
“When I was thinking of starting my own business, learning from other entrepreneurs about their experiences was invaluable to me,” she said. “Now I want to share my experience with the hopes that the story of my journey will inform, enlighten and reinforce others’ dreams of self-employment.”

The main office of CCS is at 18 King St. East in the Royal Courtyards, Bolton.
