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. That's a lot of wealth, jobs, and economic activity. But, most importantly, that's 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.
