Black Women Entrepreneurs on the Rise Dont wait on the prince in shinning armor!

Posted by admin on March 13th, 2010 and filed under women entrepreneurs | 22 Comments »

http://www.lasthiredfirstfired.com As the fastest growing segment of the small business economy, women are a major part of the worlds economic sustainability equation. The numbers speak for themselves: There are 10.1 million firms owned by women entrepreneurs in America that employ 13 million people and generate nearly $2,000,000,000,000 (yes, trillion—I wanted you to see all those zeroes!) in sales each year. Thats a lot of wealth, jobs, and economic activity. But, most importantly, thats a lot of hope for the future and promise for the community—why? Because research shows that women entrepreneurs give to the community, special causes, and non-profit organizations at very high levels as—and once—they reach personal economic stability. So, the rising tide of a successful woman-owned business is one that raises many, many ships along with it.

Important work is being done to boost the success and value of todays woman owned business enterprises; in addition, a few organizations—and great parents—are laying the foundation for tomorrows women entrepreneurs by fostering business-mindedness in young girls and teenagers. We talked to two of these organizations on todays show. We also got a heart-warming note from a dad on this topic:

I have a real estate investing business where I buy and hold single family homes and small apartment buildings. I also have a seminar business where I train other professionals with demanding day jobs to do the same.

My oldest daughter is aged 14. For the last two years I have been taking her on appointments to see houses and apartment buildings before I buy them, and on the appointments when I rent them. She was every excited last November when I let her decide which house we would add as our next rental at that time.

She has gone through all of my seminar material and now wants to start her own rental real estate business while shes in high school, which she started yesterday.

Second Careers for Women Baby Boomers… Wendy Stevens two

Wendy Stevens Women Baby Boomers part 2 two
The Characteristics of a Successful Boomer Woman Entrepreneur
By Wendy Stevens

What I’m about to tell you will surprise you. You may think that successful entrepreneurs are free-spirits who despise structure and are renegades who would rather work alone, only reluctantly hiring a team because there’s no other choice.
What it takes to break away from the good old W-2 and start your own venture is a curious mix. Forget about the idea that you have to learn how to do everything yourself. The successful entrepreneur is far from this Lone Ranger model of running a business. In my model of entrepreneurialism, it’s what experts call a “Cash Machine” business, you get to strengthen your strengths and hire your weaknesses.
Hiring the right people who will do what you can’t or don’t want to do is perhaps the one thing that differentiates a successful entrepreneur from one who simply moves from one job (working for someone else) to another job (working for him or herself). It’s also a key difference between having a hobby and having a real business in which you earn a healthy income — far better than what you’re making at your current W-2 job!
Here are the key characteristics that you’ll want to have or cultivate in yourself:
You must be the business owner. There’s a lot of confusion about this characteristic, even amongst those I’ve coached. Being a business owner means that you take charge of your life. You begin running your life like a business, and run your business like you mean it. You must decide to take charge of every aspect of your life and business, leaving that shy, meek, “really nice person” behind. I don’t mean that you have to become ruthless, but you do have to decide to be responsible and in charge.

Courage. It takes a certain amount of courage to get up every day, day after day, and take full responsibility for old problems, new challenges, and the day-to-day struggles that always arise. Some days will be fantastic, and others may feel like the hardest days of your life. Regardless of any existing or new circumstances, you have the heart to stick with it, literally owning your vision, and having faith in your ability to succeed.

Resourcefulness. While I recommend modeling your cash machine business after another successful business, not everything will be the same. Times and circumstances change, and you’ve got to change with them. Often this requires a certain resourcefulness to seek out new opportunities and find innovative solutions to challenges. It also means finding the right people to help you with each unique situation, rather than trying to figure out everything on your own. Resourcefulness really requires you to learn how to work well with others, seeking advice and guidance when necessary.

Sequencing. This is often a tough concept for people to grasp. But it’s really quite simple. The fastest route between two points is a straight line. I’m simply asking you to move in a straight line, taking each step as it comes, sequencing your activities so that you’re doing the right things at the right time. Many entrepreneurs just shoot buckshot at problems, hoping that one will hit the target. You’ll focus on taking the next right action, and following it with the action that’s appropriate at that time.

Persistence. Honestly, you have to stick to it. Sometimes you’ll fail — we all have. But when you are persistent, you’ll learn from your experiences and will soon have far more successes than failures.

Flexibility. Yes, you must be flexible. Be open to trying new things, but remain decisive. Flexibility isn’t wishy-washy. It’s being able to make a clear decision on a direction, but quickly make a new decision to change course if necessary. Stay in motion, because as soon as you start to fear failure, you’ll lose your flexibility and get stuck in an endless downward spiral.
As you can see, much of being a successful entrepreneur has to do with your psychology — what you are inside. The good news is that everything I’ve mentioned can be developed, regardless of where you are today. But you must start today. Decide to be a millionaire entrepreneur.
