Time has never been this good to women entrepreneurs. With a host of institutions wanting to do business with them and many banks, other financial institutions backing them, women entrepreneurs have stepped in to businesses which were earlier male bastions. Today they constitute more than one-tenth of total entrepreneurs. In another five years they would make more than one-fifth of the total.
Both men and women are equally equipped to do business. But conventional practice and living have denied women their rightful place in trade. But women are considered better managers because they view relationships differently and accord them very high importance. This may be one reason why women today are preferred business partners.
Second is absence of an inflated ego. The famous 'male ego' tends make men ignore or overlook their errors. Women are more accommodating and are more likely to accept an error. There by, they improve faster than men and don't end up wasting crucial time. Women entrepreneurs hence fare just as well as their male counterparts or better.
Men are bound by logic and reason. Women sometimes make decisions based on intuitive cues which turn out to be right. If men tried, they get it wrong more often than not. This ability of women, inimitable, has helped them succeed in doing good business, making successful careers and have helped their families financially as well.
Women entrepreneurs are at an obvious disadvantage compared to their male counterparts. They can't ignore familial responsibilities. Men can simply shrug it off and go on with work. But women simply can't even if they are well off and have domestic help. This can bog them. Good time management and balance in both work and personal life is important to not get bogged.
Women have come a long way and the trend is going strong. There is a lot more to achieve to break in to many male dominated businesses. The fairer sex has all the ingredients to make them rule the world of business and trade. But in trying to do so, the difference that makes them better than men shouldn't get obscured.
