2009 Women’s Business Awards
Tilly Rivers has been named the Entrepreneur of the Year!
Journalist; Tom Fellows
NY- It has been a great pleasure of mine to follow the career of Tilly Rivers. This lady is a role model for women of all ages, her zest for life is captured in any and all projects that she does.
Let’s take a look at her career path. In the beginning she started out doing free lance shorts for popular ‘adult’ magazines, soon her following grew and she wrote her first anthology “Seditious.” The book published by the Random House Group received modest reviews and success.
Her next group of erotica shorts titled “Salacious” hit the #1 best selling list fourteen days after its release.
Rivers daringly modeled in a few risqué adult magazines while dating a male model, while these photos are nudes she kept them tasteful and suggestive. She was also chosen in a few fashion shots, and of course has had many publicity photo shoots spanning her career. Her name soon became part of the celebrity list and the ‘who’s who’ of the celebrity world as the best selling author of erotic prose Salacious and Wisteria Moon.
Last year Tilly won the; "2007-08 Sexiest Radio Voice Award” for her new internet radio programs "Features,” and “Let’s Talk About It.” Her radio host career was fun, but short as she decided to focus on her roots. Writing.
Rivers opened her own publishing company for awhile, but decided the stress was too much taking a toll on her health, the company closed in April of 2008. Today Rivers is the CEO and founder of Rain Enterprises.
Rain Enterprises has the most talked about adult dessert line; “Frozen Vines” as well as represents the 'best-of-the best' products and services, and this year launched “Main Street Magazine.”
Main Street began as an Ezine, with thousands of hits per day. This should not be a surprise, her celebrity status and loyal fan following can not seem to get enough of this blonde. Her popularity continues to grow leaps and bounds. In the fall of this year Main Street Magazine goes to print, with rumors’ that she has had world wide requests for copies.
Her name; Tilly Rivers, has been said in jest would make a perfect 'tag word' for anyone seeking website traffic, as her influence and world celebrity status is becoming a house hold word.
Maybe she should sell her name to top search engines?
When asked how she will be holding up against the stress of running Rain Enterprises, she was reported as saying “What stress?” Frozen Vines, and our line of products is in the trusting hands of others, my focus is Main Street, which is a love not a stress.”
This award could not have gone to a more deserving person. Rivers surely must have invented “out of the box thinking.”
The secret to her success? Correction, successes? As soon as I find out I will let you know.
Or will I?
