Meg Thoreson truly does it all. As both the owner of Solon Springs Mercantile and an employee of the Entrepreneur Fund, Meg brings a passion for small business development wherever she goes. I was excited to interview her for my “Inspiring Women” column in Minnesota Business magazine because I can’t imagine being an entrepreneur and employee. Meg makes it look easy, however, and shares her tips in the article below.

In addition to leading the Women’s Business Alliance, Meg also co-owns Solon Springs Mercantile, a retail store in Wisconsin, with her husband Ken. She says her North Woods lifestyle store sells “bolts, booze and bullets,” just about everything you need for a perfect experience up north.

She believes the roles actually balance and complement each other, feeding her drive to work and serve others.”
