The author of a blog dedicated to earning passive income online recently wrote about the strength of women entrepreneurs in a post titled Why Women Do So Well Starting Businesses. I can't find a name on the site, but judging by the site design, content, and writing style, I'm guessing this blogger is male.
He claims women are predisposed to be great "entrepreneurettes" -- as I've dubbed them -- for several reasons.
He claims women are predisposed to be great "entrepreneurettes" -- as I've dubbed them -- for several reasons.
- Historically women have been independent (managing the home alone) while men have been off working in groups (hunting, fighting, etc.)
....he seems to be asserting that self-starting is now in our genes or social fabric. - Women are more comfortable asking for help.
- Women are more accustomed to tasks that are "meticulous and repetitive."
The author cites food preparation and sewing. I think a better description is "detail oriented." - Women have more experience facing adversity.
The underlying thesis is that all of the above traits or skills are useful and/or necessary to start and run a business. My question for other women: What do you think of this blogger's assessment? What other gender-specific traits or experiences present advantages or disadvantages for women entrepreneurs?
Women try harder, because we have to!
ReplyDeletewomen entrepreneurship is inherent and also a natural process. Women are naturally endowed with the qualities of entrepreneurship. Just like maternity is a creative capacity involving risk of life.
