It seems like every week the news is profiling a new entrepreneurial success and with increasing frequency those stories are about women. Like so many other areas of the business world, entrepreneurship is no longer simply a man’s game. In fact, a 2016 study on global entrepreneurs showed that women in the field were “more ambitious and successful” than their male counterparts. This should serve as both a challenge and inspiration to other women seeking to be successful business owners.

While the business culture continues to change for the better in terms of equal treatment for women, there are still inherent challenges. Women face sexism, pay disparity, and other difficulties when compared to men in the business world. However, there are more and more women rising above these challenges to be wildly successful entrepreneurs. If you are a woman starting your own company or looking for inspiration in your career, there are many resources out there to help.
