The 5th common trait that successful women entrepreneurs making over $1Million dollars in their businesses, is that they capitalize on being a woman-owned firm.
Women-owned firms with $1Million or more in revenues are 2.5 times as likely as smaller firms to be certified by a third party as a woman-owned firm (50% vs. 21%).
Certification means that large corporations will try to work with them through their supplier-diversity initiatives.
Instead of trying to blend with "the guys" these women go out there, to the world, announcing left and right, that they can service women better, because they understand women, because they are women.
Many of women in business, perhaps avoid this avenue, because they are afraid of starting a competitive advantage fight with men. In fact, I can honestly say that intimidation from men, is one of the most common issues I help my clients to overcome.
Once you realize that men and women can be equal in the business world and that your fears are probably related to a particular experience that you had in the past, your power, dedication, courage and determination will escalate to limits that you, frankly, can only imagine right now.
If this is something that you would like to control in your life: your fears and anxieties, I will suggest you sign up for the FREE Discovery Coaching Session, the most insightful 30 minutes that you will have.
