1. Defying social expectations
Most
female business owners who have attended networking events can relate to this
scenario: You walk into a crowded seminar and can count the number of women
there on one hand. When women entrepreneurs talk business with primarily male
executives, it can be unnerving.
2.
Limited access to funding
Not
all startup founders look for investors to help get their businesses off the
ground, but those who do know how difficult the pitching process can be.
3. Playing with the boys
Most
would consider any given field to be male-dominated. It's even more of a
challenge when you're coming in as a female having to give direction to males
that may not want any direction.
4.
Owning your accomplishments
The
communal, consensus-building qualities encouraged in young girls can leave
women unintentionally downplaying their own worth.
