As a winner of the SBA’s Women in Business Champion of the Year Award during Small Business Week [see the press release here], I was invited (required?) to give a short speech. 3-5 minutes. Now I’m not one to shy away from an opportunity to address an audience (“kosher ham” that I am). But the challenge of (1) graciously thanking those who made the day possible, (2) sharing some of my own travails as a woman entrepreneur, (3) getting to the core of my personal philosophy, and (4) doing it all in 3-5 minutes was daunting.
And exciting. For it brought me closer to the “why” of why I do what I do. What has propelled me down this entrepreneurial path? Why have I been so passionate about it … when there are plenty of times that chucking it all and getting a JOB would have been the more prudent course of action?
In short, because to me, entrepreneurship means freedom. Especially for women.
