Sacrifices women entrepreneurs have made?
Shay: "Fund your children’s therapy fund alongside their college fund."
Rochelle: "My daughter told her classmates that she couldn’t go to the school party because we were on a budget.
Francine: "One of my daughters still thinks I went bankrupt in the 80’s. I came too close.
Teri: "My staff is like my family. And the man in my life is very supportive. Even though we work 12-15 hour days, it is all fun. And that’s what your friends and family like about you?"
Benefits?
Teri." The intellectual interaction. Away from the office I am bored to death."
Seeing the people who are actually using your system thrive. Solving a business problem for them.
Rochelle: "You are in control. You set the tone. Flexibility."
