I got a phone call from my husband this morning telling me, "You need to read the Eureka Reporter. You're on the front page and they wrote a great story about you too!"
A story about me? I knew that the Eureka Reporter was going to publish a story about the upcoming networking event for local women business owners that the Women Entrepreneur's Institute would be hosting on Oct 9th (I volunteer my time as their Marketing Director), but I didn't realize that they tailored the story around me.
I remember being interviewed by Ashley Bailey (Business Editor for the Eureka Reporter). So thanks Ashley for the nice plug!
Here's a short clip from the article, click on the link below to see the whole story. Pretty Cool!
"Jessica Bigger isn’t afraid to take risks.
After a series of career changes — she had considered veterinarian school, then kicked that for a promotions gig in radio — Bigger took a leap and started her own business.
Managing her business as a realtor under Ming Tree GMAC Real Estate’s Realtor Associates is a fairly new thing for Bigger, but with the support of the Women Entrepreneurs Institute (WEI), a nonprofit organization for local businesswomen, she has been able to move forward with success..."
Local Businesswomen Support Each Other Through Nonprofit by Ashley Bailey
Edit: Unfortunately when the Eureka Reporter went out of business several months after this article was written they removed all archive links on the internet.
