How a Woman Can Control a ManWritten by Terry Hernon MacDonald
Continued from page 1
Wouldn't you want to see second guy more often? The lesson here is, if you want a relationship with somebody, you must give him air. Give him his freedom. (It doesn't matter if you have nothing else to do except pre-treat meatball stain on your blouse, he doesn't have to know it.) Smile and tell him to have a ball. Then let him wonder how you'll spend your time off. Is it scary? Sure, it's scary! What if he meets another woman while he's scarfing down nachos at local tavern? Well, what if he does? He's obviously not right guy for you, and it's better to know that sooner than later. But consider this: What if he goes out and notices happy couples and wishes he were with you instead of his friends? What if it dawns on him that unattached girls hanging out at bar can't compare to woman he really wants (you!)? What if he spends night thinking of you, missing you, wondering what you're doing and who you're with? Thinking about what a breath of fresh air you are, a woman who's secure enough to do her own thing and give him some time on his own? What if? *Names have been changed.

The Women Entrepreneurs of Canada was founded in Toronto in 1992, as a resource, support and opportunity network for women in business. WEC promotes and fosters success of women entrepreneurs in Canada and helps them define and achieve success on their own terms. WEC promotes interests of women entrepreneurs in larger business community; facilitates transfer of relevant knowledge that is appropriate to WEC members; and partners with organizations both in Canada and abroad, such as National Association of Women Business Owners in USA, and international groups like Femmes Chefs d'Enterprises Mondiales and Italian Associazione Imprenditrici e Donne Dirigenti D’Azienda, (see www.aidda.org), to bring best practices, opportunities and resources to its members here. It is often said that in unity there is strength, and I would say that goes double for members of WEC. This is an organization where women can meet and mix with other women who face similar issues in starting, running, and growing their businesses. WEC is a resource that provides a unified voice to government and public, pushing issues of women entrepreneurs to forefront. Recently, I had a chance to represent WEC before Standing Committee on Status of Women in Ottawa and I was able to convey our position on financing, statistical research, daycare, and maternity leave. WEC recommends increased women’s business research to create more opportunities for women while bringing what is known about women’s businesses up-to-date. And regarding maternity leave—as women employers do not have same benefits as their employees; what might be done to level playing field and extend that benefit to all as, for example, it is in Finland? WEC is working hard to communicate a confident and refreshingly optimistic message about future prospects for women and it is gratifying that message is being heard. I urge any woman in business to find out more about WEC and benefits of becoming a member by visiting website at: www.wec.ca.
