Big ideas mean business
Women launching their own ventures gain independence and flexibility but face long hours and responsibility. Start small and home based, read about similar businesses, and talk to others in the field. Choose a niche, finance gradually, and print business cards. Project confidence, hire a good accountant, monitor cash flow, and avoid partners if possible.
