Women entrepreneurs - Challenges and success stories

Women still lack support from their families to start their ventures. 

There is a lack of support from the family emotionally, morally, and even financially She keeps juggling between her and the family's needs. Societal expectations regarding caregiving roles create additional pressure on women entrepreneurs

Who is the source of strength behind the successful women entrepreneur-

They say there is always a woman behind a successful man who supports him silently but strongly in achieving his goals. But ever wondered who is behind a successful woman, is there a supporting man? an inspiring woman? Or financial needs to survive? or a zeal to create a positive impact in society? or find her individuality? or financial independence? Or a mix of all.

Women add a dimension to the area they step into

Women sure are not inferior, but the patriarchal society struggles to understand her strength. She brings in a new character, flavor, fresh perspectives, and innovative solutions to the work. She is an excellent multitasker and understands the pains of the other half of the society whose voice was often unheard. Their influence extends beyond business, shaping economies and communities worldwide. As they continue to break barriers, their impact grows stronger.

 

So, it's time not to prove yourself to fit in men’s shoes but to create a custom-fitted shoe that suits a woman's style.
