Nominate a businesswoman for a gift

This is your chance to nominate a businesswoman for a free gift — a businesswoman who goes above and beyond the bottom line and courageously finds ways to make a social or environmental difference as well. Over the past few months I’ve run into a number of enterprising women who are dedicated to helping make this world a better place. Either because they have committed themselves to tackling environmental issues, or they are working toward social reform or they are simply running an ordinary business in the most extra-ordinary ways. Some of these have become my personal heroes… or heroines as the case might be. Undaunted, they stick to their principles during a time when principles seem to be in short supply and they make decisions not only by focusing on the mighty buck, but by also keeping their eye on a bigger and more selfless picture.

I’ve run into women who as business owners have taken financial hits simply because they have decided to forego doing business with companies which are not doing right by their employees. I’ve met women who have completely re-done their business model by going strictly organic, or carbon-neutral or sweatshop free. I’ve talked with women who work with the poor, the unemployed, the abused and lend them not only a voice, but teach them useable trades. These women are more than just business owners with a heart, they are on a mission. And they are changing the world…one giant leap at a time.

We all know these women, now is your chance to give them a boost, a gift, a helping hand. Each week until the end of the year, we at Affirm-Aware will pick one businesswoman from your votes and send her an affirmation shirt. The affirmation shirt can help remind her of her goals, dreams, inspirations and aspirations. They can surround her with positive energy and let her know she has friends who care. So send us her name, tell us a bit about her and why you are nominating her and which affirmation she needs the most: prosperity, love, peace, unity or faith. We’ll do the rest. This is our small way of helping make the world a little bit better.—And starting in January, we’ll start sending gifts to a few courageous businessmen too!

Peace!
