Increasing Job Opportunities with Women-Owned Businesses
I recently came across a study by the Guardian Life Small Business Research Institute predicting that about one-third of new jobs created over the next eight years will be at small businesses owned by women.
As a woman small business owner myself, I was really intrigued by this news. It also reminded me that many job seekers miss out on great opportunities because they overlook the potential to get a job at a (man- or woman-owned) small business.
In my podcast this week, I share my thoughts on the opportunities available in small businesses, how to find these opportunities and the pros and cons of working for a smaller organization.
As always, I look forward to your feedback and comments!

When people think business, they often think mega-corps, like Exxon-Mobile, Wal-mart, HP, General Motors, Dupont, Coca-Cola, IBM, etc. But the truth of the matter is that they make up a very small share of the economy. Less than 9% of all Americans work in the Fortune 1000. The other 91% work in “small business” or “micro businesses.”
