Basic Biz Secrets for Women Entrepreneurs

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Not that women entrepreneurs are so different from men entrepreneurs, but there’s often a different sensibility toward how you handle matters when you become a business owner.  I had interviewed Alicia Marie Fruin on the subject of whether yours “is a business worth having” and in this podcast, Alicia Marie Fruin of Peoplebiz turns the tables.  She interviews me about the basics that women entrepreneurs should know when starting and running their businesses including:

  • Whether a written partnership agreement means you don’t trust your business partner
  • How to hold yourself and others accountable–and ways that a coach can help
  • Exit strategies in business … and the less-discussed but all-too-common reasons that force women entrepreneurs to abandon their companies
  • Making “follow the money” and “date before you marry” your watchwords in any strategic alliance or jv partnership
  • Why choosing the right form of business entity really matters
  • Smart ways to handle debt collection … and to distance yourself from the (icky) process
  • The advantages of building a workforce without employees
  • How multi-scoop ice cream cones relate to the business decisions that women entrepreneurs make

Any other words of wisdom you’d share with women entrepreneurs?
