Calling all the ladies out there! Being an entrepreneur is tough. But what about specifically being a woman entrepreneur? Is it any different, or more challenging?
The answer to the above questions are a combination of yes and no. Nobody doubts that entrepreneurship is a unisex occupation. With that in mind, though, it doesn’t hurt to explore the idiosyncrasies of attitude, character and psychology which make women tick. Because like it or not, men and women think and act differently.
