Great comments,
I'd like to comment on Felicia's response concerning women entrepreneurs. It's all in the numbers! Many successful male entrepreneurs and business owners fail numerous times but keep up the fight and struggle to make it. It's my belief that women in general are not wired for accepting all the failures one experiences when being an entrepreneur. Notice I say in general.
Ask yourself have you ever been in a conversation with a group of women or at a convention and they are discussing all their failures, but yet they tell their friends on how they are going to succeed. Most women will give support and and be empathetic and suggest that they change their dreams, so called be more realistic.
I walked away from my corporate job approx. 5 years ago. last Friday I met with financial backers that want to increase my sales dramatically and possible partners. When I started my company my accountant (a women)did not see the value in it would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. My wife was skeptical, it was not a pretty picture. I persevered stuck to my guns and would not take no for an answer. Call me crazy but but most women and men would have thrown in the towel along time ago. Even if its just a slight differnce in the way women look at failure, it makes a huge difference in the number of times one fails until they are successful.
When I reach my financial goals I plan on discussing that topic to women at a seminar designed for entrepreneurial women. It's important I do that since I constantly tell my daughter It's ok to fail just learn from your failures.
