Millions of women are shifting the economics in our country and creating jobs and opportunities for others – on their own terms. Recent research shows that women-owned businesses are increasing at a rate of five times the national average. It all sounds promising but the facts are, ONLY 2% of women-owned businesses are breaking into the 'two comma club' in revenue. Ladies, it's time to dig deeper and talk candidly to the women who are rocking their profits. Each week, I'll showcase today's thought leaders, renegades, mavericks, pathfinders and of course, women who are flexing their moxie muscle. I'll find out about their biggest challenge, their best productivity tips and what they did next when they discovered they were on to something Big.
