Take it from a person who never had any intention of owning a business — who was under the impression that to be a successful entrepreneur, she would have to work 100-hour weeks and be willing to risk every penny — a person who worked at a job she enjoyed and made a comfortable salary so when presented with the choice of a regular paycheck versus total uncertainty, the former sounded much more appealing than the latter. Then she learned the truth.
Many women share this mindset. Owning a business sounds intriguing to them, but they are hesitant because they believe it involves too much of a risk and that those who own their businesses don’t get the training and support found in the corporate world.
