    Letter From The Editor

    Are you aware that as a woman, you have more persuasive skills than your male counterparts? What’s more, this isn’t a charm issue because even the most disciplined and serious woman can be more convincing than a man. In fact, dozens of scientific studies reveal that women can be smarter than men – if they choose to be. According to an article published in The Atlantic in August 2014, women make 3 times more money on hedge funds than men. The author of this article also found that women CEOs earn almost 50% more for the businesses they work for than male CEOs. Imagine the possibilities if you decide to start your own business.

    Women and entrepreneurship belong together - and this is proven because of several facts…

    * Women are more willing to take calculated risks than men. This could be because of a pressing need to prove oneself - and one of the main reasons women and entrepreneurship are ideally matched.

    * As a woman, you instinctively know how to be a team player. This trait makes you a better team leader than most men, especially in the areas of decision-making and problem solving. At the same time, women are more willing to openly admit fault, which eventually works in their favor because it makes them appear human and more likeable.

    * Women draw on their power of intuition as an additional key to success. In 2008, the British Journal of Psychology studied the human instinct, also known as the sixth sense. What they uncovered was that intuition happens instantly and on the unconscious level. Intuition taps on past experiences and environmental clues. This means intuition isn’t a flaky, warm and fuzzy feeling, but something intellectually-based and often reliable. Yet most men refuse to use their intuition because they see it as an emotional decision – a woman’s thing so they tend to toss it away as insignificant.

    The Next Step

    Women and entrepreneurship isn’t just about learning how to start and run a business; it’s about removing the barriers that come between you and your resolve to be successful. These barriers are your emotional and psychological excuses.

    "I don’t know where to start and I don’t know how to be a leader."

    "I’m afraid that people I know will laugh at my ideas."

    Let go of your barriers. Understand that what you do not know, you can learn. If you have a passion for something, you can turn it into a business. You don’t even have to quit your day job. Women are excellent in planning, staying focused, and multi-tasking. You can do this. You just need to believe in yourself.

    Quick Tips on How to Get Started

    * Believe in your skills but don’t hesitate to keep improving.

    * Turn to government and privately-supported groups that encourage women as entrepreneurs.

    * Don’t let others convince you against starting your own business.

    Most important, be the kind of entrepreneur that solves problems. You can be a part of the rapidly growing number of successful women entrepreneurs in the country.

    All the best -
