Women who start businesses for themselves have a long history of being extremely successful. When you think of famous women entrepreneurs, you may only think of people like Martha Stewart or Oprah Winfrey, but there are many others who have made their mark in all types of businesses. In fact, almost half of all self-employed people in the United States are women and that number continues to grow.
First of all, there are many grants and financial aid opportunities for women in small business that just aren't available for men. This may seem unfair (to the men!), but it is because women have long been denied career opportunities and are still hitting the glass ceiling in many fields. So, if you are looking for start-up money, being a woman can help you out.
You will also find that no matter what type of business you start, that by being a woman, you have a certain kinship with other women that make them more apt to buy from you than from a man. This almost gives you a build-in audience of potential clients or customers from which you can start building your empire.
Even if you have never had one single dream about starting up your own business, now is the time to join other women in small business who are making a success out of their hard work. You don't have to spend your entire life working for someone else when there are so many opportunities in front of you right now.
