Why Women Make Better Business Owners

Houston Growth Strategies for Small Business

This trend comes as no surprise. The Center for Women's Business Research has been tracking it diligently for years,

and I've been writing about it for years. Forget the banking crisis, ignore the deficit: this is the business story of our age. Why?

Women do more with less. This is the rule for today's economy but women have been doing it for decades. Attracting far less in the way of institutional and venture funding, women build more businesses and more jobs than business on average. They're more focused on profit than revenue, extremely thrifty and allergic to waste.

Women-owned businesses are customer-centric. Aren't all businesses? Well they should be, but they aren't. We all know (and sometimes have to do business with) companies that hate their customers. But women love their customers not least because they don't regard service as demeaning. Women are the market, responsible for 85% of consumer spending. For some men, that's the butt of jokes; for women business owners, it's the source of success.

Women business owners are exceptionally motivated. I've lost count of the number of guys who, starting their companies, have said they can always return to corporate life if they fail. I have never heard a woman say this. More often than not, women start their companies out of rage because they're fed up with not being taken seriously in traditional corporation or desperation, seeking in their own businesses the flexibility they can't find anywhere else. They have no safety net. This gives them a quality of determination that strikes fear into the hearts of observers.
