Global Rise of Women Entrepreneurs

  Women’s entrepreneurship has hit a media tipping point. The question is: Is it just a passing media fad that will soon be a blip on the radar screen, or is it actually a real, fundamental economic force that’s reshaping the world? I think it’s safe to say that it’s the latter. Women-owned entities in the formal sector represent   approximately 37% of enterprises globally   — a market worthy of attention by businesses and policy makers alike. While aggregated data is often challenging to find, the recent Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) found 126 million women starting or running businesses, and 98 million operating established (over three and a half years) businesses. That’s 224 million women impacting the global economy — and this survey counts only 67 of the 188 countries recognized by the World Bank.

How to Become a Successful Entrepreneur

 According to a new National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) study published in a recent Forbes article, over half of all new small business jobs created in the next five years will come from businesses started by women. So why are women so successful as entrepreneurs? Caring About What’s Important Women are typically better at networking than men because women tend to focus on the other person. This natural nurturer skill is something that seems almost genetic. Women are not typically afraid of their emotions, so helping an employee or customer through an emotional life event is comfortable for women. This ability to connect emotionally also means that the bonds that women create will almost be certainly stronger. Women are also less focused on their personal success. They are willing to share credit and innately work better as team members than their ego-driven male counterparts. A 2009 Time magazine study reported by Mashable found that women are less worried about tit...
