The North Central News has begun a series of stories highlighting women-owned businesses in the community. In today’s new career economy, where business ownership is usurping the once glamorous corporate managerial positions, women are a driving force behind the rise of self-employment statistics, according to Melissa Larimore, Phoenix business coach for The Entrepreneur’s Source.
“According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, women make up over 32 percent of the country’s 12.2 million business owners. They are climbing the entrepreneurial ladder without a glass ceiling to shatter,” Larimore said. “Whether it is a full-time, home-based business or self-employment opportunity limited to weekend hours, or a 9 to 5 schedule, women are choosing their lifestyles and business ownership oftentimes complements their wants and needs.” |
