Mrs. Cecilia Thorfinn, founder and managing partner of MummyMug, could become the European version of Mary Kay Ash. If you don't know much about Mary Kay Ash, you should. Mary Kay founded Mary Kay Cosmetics and was of the greatest female entrepreneurs in American business history. Mary Kay Ash created a multi-billion empire in the cosmetics sector that continues to flourish, and gave female entrepreneurs in America, and across the globe, courage, guidance and inspiration. Mary Kay was what I call an Entrepreneur Diva. My definition:

En·tre·pre·neur [ahn-truh-pruh-nur, -noor]: a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, esp. a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk.

Di·va [dee-vuh, -vah]: distinguished female singer; prima donna.

Entrepreneur Diva [ahn-truh-pruh-nur,-noor, dee-vuh, -vah]: distinguished female entrepreneur who organizes and manages family, enterprise and environment with heart, passion and style.

After talking to Cecilia for more than ninety minutes on Skype, Entrepreneur Diva came to my mind for sure. It's fascinating to hear entrepreneurs describe their entrepreneur beginnings. Cecilia is a beautiful person inside and out and one thing you immediately notice is that she is a fast talker, enthusiastic and quick on her feet.²  continued
