A Woman’s Touch

Jan 13, 12 A Woman’s Touch

Many people set out with great big dreams of owning their own small business at some point in their life.  Sometimes these dreams and goals happen for people, and other times they unfortunately do not work out as hoped for.  I know that when I set out to open up my own business twenty years ago I was not only terrified of failing, but I was unsure of whether or not I had what it took to effectively take care of my own small business.  You see, I am a woman business owner, and even just twenty short years ago that was strange to see.

Today, however, there are many women running their own small businesses.  This is something that I admire and find to be exciting and promising.  These women owned operations are growing and growing, and more and more businesses today are owned by women.  How can the successes of women owned businesses be explained?  Obviously there has to be something special about a woman’s touch on a business, but there are other factors that determined the great growth in these businesses, like:

  • Women choose lower risk businesses
  • The revenues are more positive
  • Women are not as likely to purchase their business
