SAY Magazine’s 2014 Fall Issue is Now Available

One of the fastest growing entrepreneur groups in North America:  Native business owners.

SAY is known as a resource and NationTalk’s Indigenous Business & Finance today (ibftoday.ca) is a resource tailor-made to help today’s entrepreneurs.

This Fall issue of SAY Magazine takes a look at some examples of successes and provides some ideas of what it takes to succeed.
