Publisher Jorrie Johnson enjoys
swimming, cycling, running and
dancing for exercise and fun.
Dear Reader,
I am often asked how I keep up with my busy life as a recently re-singled mom of
three children, publishing RochesterWomen magazine and Rochester Women’s
Business & Resource Directory, volunteering and staying in shape. I tell them it’s
because I put my health and well-being a priority, which gives me the energy to do
everything else that I do.
For my physical and mental health, I cross-train and dance. I competed in the Rochesterfest Triathlon, for the second time, this past summer. My goal wasn’t to win, but to
be active and stay healthy. I participate in cycle (spin) classes and swim at the Rochester
Area Family YMCA. My gym time is “me time” when I get to escape stresses and
pressures, and unwind. In the spring, I joined TriRochester and trained with that group
one night a week during the summer. I enjoy multi-sport training, but the most fun I
have all week is during Zumba® class at the Y and belly dance class at Rochester International Dance Studio when I get to dance and laugh with other women.
Running RochesterWomen magazine is very spiritual to me. It is my way to serve
women and the community. One of the best opportunities that help me grow personally
and professionally and develop is the Women Entrepreneurs Networking group at
the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce. Through this network, I am inspired and
supported by other women in business.
I hope that the 2012 Rochester Women’s Business & Resource Directory
helps you find resources and women in business who help you and your business
become happier and healthier. Plus, read our feature article on Well-Being: Happy And
Healthy You and meet Linda Christopherson, a woman entrepreneur who knows that
the American dream is alive, well and growing.
I am thankful for my health, my family and friends, and opportunities to know,
serve, work out and laugh with many Rochester area women. Thank you for supporting
the 2012 Rochester Women’s Business & Resource Directory.
Sincerely,
Jorrie L. Johnson, Publisher

Sue Lee plays a vital role in everyday operations
at the Canadian Honker in both the restaurant
and catering businesses. Sue started with the
Canadian Honker in 1994 when the business
consisted of a 90 seat facility located in the Bell
Tower Inn. The new Honker, which was built in
1998 now consists of a 165 seat dining area which
includes a state of the art catering facility.
She is involved with working directly with
catering clients on a daily basis. The company’s

in the early years. Owner Joe Powers says, “Without Sue, this business does
not work, it’s that simple.” She works with catering clients functions ranging
from 10 people to over 4,000. She has a caring heart and a contagious
positive attitude that continues to keep the company in the right direction.

BEAUTY
At Brennan Family Chiropractic and Nutrition
Center, our motto is “Where our Family Cares
for Yours!” Since 2006, Dr. Melissa Brennan and
her husband, Dr. Jarrod, have focused on care for
the whole family. Dr. Melissa has certifications
in Pediatrics, Pregnancy, Webster Technique,
Acupuncture, and Nutrition Response Testing.
In 1997, Dr. Melissa was diagnosed with
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. After many
years of being on medications and suffering from
complications (such as kidney disease, arthritis, sun-sensitivity, butterfly rash,
and extreme fatigue), she was motivated to find a more natural approach to
treating her disease. She became a Doctor of Chiropractic in 2004 which
started her on the road to a healthier, drug-free lifestyle.
Today, Dr. Melissa’s lupus is in complete remission. She attributes her
health to Chiropractic, Acupuncture, a Whole Food Diet, and Nutritional
Supplements. She has taken what most consider an “unfortunate disease
of lupus” and turned it into a huge blessing and wonderful opportunity to
help others seek more natural ways to improve their health and maintain it
for a lifetime.

Growing a
Healthy
Business
A Business Where Customers and Employees are Happy
By Laura Archbold
Photography by Fagan Studios
I
n a stagnant economic environment with
dismal unemployment rates a shining
light breaks through in an important
segment of our economy -- our nation’s
independent entrepreneurs. Linda
Christopherson is one such entrepreneur
and knows all too well that the American
dream is alive, well and growing despite the
economic outlook.
What began in 1994 as a home school
project for Linda and her three children
with one small button machine and a few
hundred 2.25 inch round parts is today one
of the nation’s largest and premier custom
button manufacturer in the country. With
annual revenues over 3 million dollars
and 35 full time employees, Affordable
Buttons produces and ships more than
40,000 custom buttons per day out of
their Rochester location. This steady and
continued growth has recently landed
Affordable Buttons on the Inc. Magazine’s
list of fastest growing private companies in
the U.S.
“We’ve had steady and significant growth
based on continuous innovation, inspiration
and unprecedented customer service,” says
Christopherson. Their growing customer
base of over 60,000 clients include some
of the most recognized brands like Disney,
Google, Best Buy, McDonald’s, Warner
Brothers and American Family Association.
Early Innovation
With a solid can-do attitude,
Christopherson taught herself HTML and
launched a website, making Affordable
Buttons one of the first button companies
on the Internet in 1994. This proved to
be a major breakthrough for the company
as it landed them a large client out of
Hollywood, Florida that ordered 250,000
“Too Blessed to Be Stressed” buttons that
were distributed as a point of sale item for
Walgreens throughout the country.
Five tips for
growing your
business:
1. Know your customers
deadlines and meet them each time, every time
2. Limit and minimize waste
through efficiency
3. Identify time-sensitive activities
and prioritize work flow
accordingly
4. Identify problems quickly and
find solutions FAST
5. Keep all your promises
Opposite page: What began
as a home school project
with her kids has become a
multi-million dollar business for
Linda Christopherson and her family.
Innovation remains a priority as together
Linda and her husband, Tom, a former
IBM engineer, continue to customize their
technology needs in order to standardize
sales, streamline production and insure on
time fulfillment. The customized system
allows Affordable Buttons to maximize
efficiencies and allows all customers to
experience the same high level of service,
from a Fortune 100 company placing an
order of 1 million buttons to an individual
placing a small order of ten buttons.
Affordable Buttons also engineered
a custom button making process that
produces a better-looking button that is
a true competitive advantage. By printing
on clear polyester film instead of paper in
reverse image the buttons are brighter, more
vivid and scratch resistant.
Customer Service
With an almost unheard of Better Business
Bureau rating of A+ and zero customer
complaints, Affordable Buttons strives to
exceed customer expectations. When they
discovered a growing demand for ship-today
service and delivery tomorrow, the team
“When we need all hands
on deck, everyone will pitch in and
assemble buttons,” says Christopherson.
invented and mastered a process to ensure
client needs were met. “We strive to WOW
our customers with the entire process from
the initial contact, creatively helping with
our designing team to hitting deadline
delivery dates. We do this every time for
every client,” says Christopherson.
In addition, Affordable Button employees
are empowered to make decisions and keep
things moving for the good of the customer.
“Our mantra is if we are competent, we
get it right the first time, on time and
on budget.”
Core Values
At the core of the company’s success is a
culture of shared values and purpose with a
solid work ethic that permeates the entire
organization. On a regular basis employees
go above and beyond formal responsibilities
and job descriptions. “When we have a big
order come in and we need all hands on
deck, everyone will pitch in and assemble
buttons,” explains Christopherson. “It’s
not uncommon to see customer service
representatives or members of our design
team on the production floor.” Since
accountability and control is all designed
in the custom software, performance and
achievement is a shared goal. Expectations
and metrics are clearly understood by
all team members. Linda also instills an
atmosphere of hospitality with “Free
lunch Wednesdays,” where she will make
a home cooked meal for staff on site.
“The simplicity of cooking and sharing
a meal together has provided a great
opportunity for everyone to connect,”
says Christopherson.
Affordable Buttons’ cooperative culture
of respect, trust and shared purpose not
only keeps the team connected, but keeps
the business growing. So, the next time you
are looking for a project to do with your
children, imagine producing thousands and
generating millions of dollars, too.

Well Being
Healthy And Happy You
By Emily Watkins
Photography by Mark Zollinger
B
eing well is different for everyone, but generally the feeling of
well-being means being happy, healthy or prosperous. Three
realms to wellness are physical, mental and spiritual health.
Physical Health
Physical wellness is broad encompassing exercise, diet, sleep and
health care. Besides losing weight and toning up, exercise gives a
feeling of well-being that can sustain a participant through the six
weeks or longer that it can take to observe physical results.
Pennie Eisenbeis, group fitness instructor at the Rochester Area
Family Y says, “No matter what your fitness level is, just by doing the
exercise you feel better.”
Some like the accountability that group fitness classes afford. Lisa
Butrum says, “I look forward to going to class every week and make
every effort to get there instead of finding ways to avoid it.” Amy
Nelson says, “Doing Pilates once a week for about a year has made
a huge difference in my ab(dominal) strength and flexibility. It took
about four sessions to feel that I was getting it, but now, if I miss a
week, I can totally tell.”
Some prefer exercising in solitude. Tricia Arthur says, “I am a
running snob. It gets my heart working and my endorphins pumping.
All I need is the pavement and a pair of shoes.”
Melissa Rivero says, “For me it’s about the outdoors. Nature
provides the ambience in the midst of movement, be it hiking, biking,
skiing, or canoeing. A bit of nature creates a body of vibrance.”
Nourishing your body with good food is another part of physical
health. Jen Brewer, author of “All Diets Work: That’s the Problem,”
says, “The key to healthy eating habits is to stop trying to find the
magic pill, potion, or powder.” Brewer lists four basic principles to
healthy eating and living: calories in versus calories out, balancing the
basic body ingredients, exercise, and sleep. “A good rule of thumb
when building a new habit is to ask yourself, ‘Could I see myself doing
this 10 years from now?’”
Karla Meyer, the administrative manager at the Good Food Store
in Rochester, encourages eating healthy. She suggests consuming
whole foods, foods that are unprocessed and unrefined, or processed
and refined as little as possible, and do not contain added ingredients,
such as sugar, salt or fat.
Robin Hoelzle, Group Fitness Coordinator at the Rochester Area
Family YMCA, energizes women in her fitness class.
Eating well extends beyond the physical. Kari Dunn, manager of
the Rochester Downtown Farmers Market, says she feels a “spiritual
connection” to food grown locally. The market provides a “social
atmosphere,” and buyers are “contributing to the community” by
supporting local farmers.
Physical wellness also can include proactive or restorative body
care including acupuncture and energy work. Our emotions are
closely tied to our physical well-being, according to Peggy Huhe of
WellSpring Acupuncture. She says that acupuncture needles affect
the endocrine system, releasing neuropeptides and giving a “sense of
peace” or relaxation as well as greater mental clarity.
Rosemary Schliep, owner of Garden of Massage in Rochester, says,
“People are happier when they are healthy.” Schliep says Reiki and
Healing Touch “clear the energetic fields, thus preventing ‘dis ease’
from attacking the physical body. Energy work and massage have been
proven very beneficial for those with depression.”
be in harmony for you to stay healthy. They suggest mind-body
connection techniques including meditation, prayer, and relaxation
and art therapies.
Some people explore their spirituality in a church or in a group
with a spiritual focus. Others find that pursuing interests and hobbies
feeds their souls. Rochester’s Community Education has a selection
of classes on many topics such as cooking, foreign language, exercise,
travel, and stress management. When you find something you like,
make it a priority in your life, even scheduling it on your calendar.
Mental Health
The way you feel about yourself has a big impact on how you take care
of yourself. Focus on a positive self-image, doing things that empower
you and that you enjoy. You’ll find that your wellness will make you
happier, and your happiness will boost your wellness.
Research is showing that mind and body wellness go hand in
hand. Medical science is making remarkable discoveries about the
relationship between your state of mind and your mental and physical
health. The brain produces chemicals that can improve our health,
such as endorphins, which are natural painkillers, gamma globulin
for immunity and interferon for combating infections, viruses, and
even cancer.
Joanne Houston of Houston Therapy in Rochester says, “If we are
mentally healthy, we tend to get sick less” and be more relaxed when
dealing with problems. When we are mentally health dealing with
daily or life issues becomes more manageable.
“As we age, keeping our brains fit requires deliberate, consistent
mental exercise,” explains Jennifer Beyst, owner of LearningRx.
Making a plan to learn new things, take on new challenges, and switch
up our routines will help us stay mentally healthy. Processing speed,
attention, and working memory are the areas that decline noticeably
as we age; however, there are a plethora of fun activities that can keep
these skills sharp.
Chronic stress can impact our memory function, so managing
stress is essential for overall brain health. Journaling our own thoughts
can help sort and manage stress. Conversations with friends can be
great therapy, too, but sometimes professional help is the answer if
the problem isn’t getting resolved by talking with friends. Talking with
a spiritual leader or participating in spiritual activities can also reduce
stress and improve health.
“People are happier
when they are healthy.”

Spiritual Health
Spiritual health is a third prong of wellness. Our spiritual health gives
us inner peace, comfort and connection with ourselves and the world
around us.
