Women INF LU EN T I AL
IN BUSINESS
The adage says “Find a job you love and you’ll never word a day in your life.” But, the women within these pages have put plenty of work into their businesses.
Building a successful company requires tenacity, sacrifice, resilience, thick skin and lots and lots of old-fashioned hard work. It’s the passion that fuels the process, that makes trial-and- error bearable and makes small successes outweigh discouragement. Many of these women have been entrepreneurs for years, like designer Anne-Marie Barton, who started out selling Avon door-to-door when she was just 12-years-old. Others came to find their passion later, like McKenzie Rockwood, who was working as a dietitian when she started a company to help people eat healthier. No matter the timing, the women profiled in the Women in Business section are remarkable Utah women who are doing what they love—with passion and drive and a lot of work.
