RESOURCES FOR WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS!




Business today is not only a man’s world. More women are starting businesses than men are: 2-1. Here is help for the women who want to control their own destinies:

1. Association of Women’s Business Centers: www.womenbusi-nesscenters.org. They represent women business owners and provide training, education, mentoring, and financing.
2. Black Women Enterprises: They provide education, networking, and technical resources for its members.
3. eWomenNetwork.com: Online directory of female business owners. 10,000 members with chapters in Canada and the U.S.
4. MANA, A National Latina Organization: www.hermana.org. Promotes Latin business women.
5. National Association of Women Business Owners: www.nawbo.org: 8,000 members. Networking opportunities
6. National Women Business Owners Corporation: www.nwboc.org: Runs a national certification program for women-owned and controlled businesses.

This is not a complete list but provides a base where information and support can be obtained. For most women, the thought of being your own boss might seem out of the question. Why should it? In a lot of the different jobs that I had I reported to women managers and found that they had insights that men do not readily have.

Go for it Girl!
