So sort of something marketing, it is like when you see a stand with a sexy girl beside it selling an alcoholic drink, you, as a man, will go there and try the sample and purchase it because you've been attracted, which is again a marketing move. But what I really noticed with women is that they are more organized. I mean they already planned out when they have businesses, they kind of want to plan out what needs to be done and keep track of things, which again, men also do, but it is something that a man needs to learn first and is not a natural asset in us.

In both terms that you've mentioned, women can always take advantage of the situation. Honestly, I think that they're better especially if they're experienced and has got the looks. With men being attractive to women especially the beautiful ones, they're using and capitalizing that asset of theirs to start their own community and as well as repeat customers. Just for example, in social media, you see that young or adult attractive women are almost everywhere and that's why they've got an edge in whatever they'll do.

in terms of negotiation, men are much better at it, in presentations men are also more talented. but in sales it is women who are more attractive than men. So both are needed in their respective expertise. for example, men are for getting clients and potential business colleagues, while women are very suitable for attracting large-scale sales.

Now it is even starting to become difficult to compare between women and men through logic and thinking. Because in this day and age, both sexes belong to each human being who have started to think differently so that women can also place themselves in fields that were previously often worked on by men. So this is starting to be difficult to differentiate now even though it can still be looked at in detail to find the differences, but if a company wants to progress more quickly with their products, try using employees of both genders so that there is progress that the company can hope for.

Because when a woman who has an attractive appearance and she works for a company, the woman will definitely have a role to attract more people into the company. Likewise, men who have a dashing appearance will definitely be given the task of attracting more female customers to the company to want to try their products. Because talking about appearance is not only owned by women, but men can also have a very attractive appearance.

In terms of work as an employee, women are always superior, but men always win in terms of logic and thinking. Entrepreneurs must have a good brain to think when they go there. while women are favored usually by their charming appearance. I believe their odds remain 50:50 and neither one dominates more than the other.

This type of thinking has been lacking in third world country but as the world is globalizing also many things and thought are also changing and today there are thousands of women entrepreneur that making impact to the economy at large especially now in the third world countries with their innovative business ideas and specific taste when it's comes to being successful.

There are more women who are willing to be entrepreneurs but are blocked either by funding, gender stereotypes, culture and other things. These are the barriers that men entrepreneurs do not have to deal with. Unfortunately they are so discouraging that most of these women just stay in their shell because they do not want to have to deal with these issues as it affects funding outcomes. Women entrepreneurs are asked more prevention-focused questions than promotion-focused questions ¹whenever they approach investors for funding. Until these issues are dealt with both policy wise and at the cultural level, women entrepreneurs would stand no chance against their male counterparts.

A man has more mental strength, physical strength, work ability and efficiency, this is the main difference between a woman entrepreneur and a male entrepreneur, but we cannot discriminate much between a woman's ability and a man's ability in 2023.  Today's women are also working.  Shoulder to shoulder with men with success in every field.
 In a recent study I saw in the newspaper, they conducted an experiment in the Netherlands where they compared 1638 female and 1882 male entrepreneurs with employees out of a total of 3520 business owners.  These employers received entrepreneurial coaching.  The first stage of coaching was an e-scan, which gave them a clear idea of what their strong and weak skills as an entrepreneur are and what they need to work on together with the coach to improve business performance.  The scan generates the entrepreneurship index, Males (55,1) score slightly higher than females (54,6) on their entrepreneurship index.  My heart fills with excitement when I see so many women entrepreneurs.Male and female entrepreneurs pursue entrepreneurship for more or less the same reasons.  Consequently, the government must provide equal opportunities to pursue an entrepreneurial path to contribute to economic and social progress.  Women need to encourage us that effort brings success.  I believe that women will go a long way if they can get out of the disease of discrimination. more details

I don't know, maybe there are a couple of women entrepreneur who really take that big risk and start their own business and be successful. But there could be some who had the proper education to begin with and so they get their hands dirty on the business that they wanted.

So it's really up to this women though, take a risk and see how it goes and then for some, have learn the secrets thru schooling or just someone mentor them and so they become successful in their own field.

The role of women has always existed in a household and also in the country, only in the past the role of women was only not very visible in public because most women in the past only helped give encouragement to their husbands or people who had family ties with them. But for now the role of women is increasingly visible because they already know how to build a glorious career by not forgetting their own family and relatives when they work.

And men are also happy when they see a woman or wife who can work independently and can help each other in a business or job. So that men can also get development through their business and career more quickly when there is encouragement or support from the women they care about in their lives. So this is no longer something that should be seen as a surprise because everyone has considered it a very normal thing and something that really needs to be done in life.

Everyone needs to have some sort of entrepreneurial education if they want to start up and run a business. You can't do anything and actually succeed if you don't have an idea of what you're doing.
You've got the notion that a woman can't be successful without a mans help. That's not true anywhere. Women are also good marketers and managers as well and actually don't need help from anyone.

Without the basic knowledge of how to run and manage a business, that business wouldn't grow and would probably go under irrespective of who is behind the business.
Your thoughts about women not being able to be successful without the help of a man are merely your opinions and not facts.

How come women doesn't need an education when that situation also happens to man? I mean gender doesn't really matter especially nowadays since everyone is free to have equal rights to learn something such as entrepreneurial. Mostly man might be the frontline where they are exposed to any credits but behind it there's also a woman that supports them in running a business such as organizing, multi-tasking and etc. If you think that man and woman differs in their mindset on how to run a business that's actually fine because they might have different business field that are good to such as cosmetics or clothing. In my country, there's a lot of women who started on nothing then they run a business. What happened? They became successful now they are providing some new business for their husband as well. Everyone's free to learn something if they really want to learn it.

Development of a country, start from the family and the family development begin with to the women. That's why they say "behind every successful man, there must be a woman. There roles can't be ignored in the development of the country. They should be encouraged to work especially as self employed to support their respective home.

Inflation is high and there is no doubt that managing home's activities become hard as the price of everything boost up but those women who become a part of job cannot gives much time to her family and I think family should be the first priority.

Doing job for women is not a bad idea but as you mentioned that some women are taxie driver so I think this type of job is not suited well for women because women should have own respect and when she become part of such job then I don't think that society will give him respect.

There are lots of jobs for women which she can performed in better place and she will be respectable for everyone but taxi driving is suitable for man only not for female.

And the same goes for men. Successful businessmen depend a lot on women who are either their executive secretaries or other executive positions to keep them in line with their goals. Women are well-known for keeping organization and multi-tasking which is vital in ensuring that everything is taken care of the business field. Hence, there is a saying that 'behind every successful man there is a powerful woman'. Hence, one can state that both needs each other is some ways.

Historically, the more individual freedom women had, the more they excelled even over men.
The reason is because women must always work harder, never give up, be disciplined, full of innovation and also be able to be financially independent and make an economic contribution to themselves, their families or anyone who accompanies these women. And get smarter just to survive. If left unchecked, that woman would be extraordinary.
And the biggest challenge that men don't have is. They can be mothers, housewives, wives, sisters, daughters, entrepreneurs. And everything can be done simultaneously, and there are still many women who are like this and there are times when they will stop and focus on taking care of the household and children after being successful. Especially successful in finance for the comfort of living with family and also in old age.

Actually, women don't need entrepreneurial education if the man behind them helps to grow the business. In my country, a successful woman always has a man or husband that helps them as a marketer or manager. They cannot move on their own due to time and manpower constraints. they are usually married, so have to divide their time with family, so that situation, a woman still needs a man to help develop a career. In fact, women can't be successful alone without a man behind.

Historically, there have been societal norms and biases that have perpetuated the dominance of men in various fields, including entrepreneurship. These norms have led to stereotypes and biases that affect women's access to funding, networking opportunities, and mentorship. As a result, women may face more hurdles when trying to enter the entrepreneurial space.
However, it's important to note that there has been a significant shift over the years. Many countries are actively working towards gender equality and removing barriers that hinder women's progress in entrepreneurship. Laws and policies are continuously evolving to provide equal opportunities for all.

To address these issues, organizations and communities around the world are focusing on empowering women in entrepreneurship. They are providing mentorship programs, educational resources, and financial support to help level the playing field. Additionally, campaigns to challenge stereotypes and promote gender equality are playing a vital role in reshaping the entrepreneurial landscape.
We still have work to do in breaking down the barriers and biases, but progress is being made. By supporting initiatives that promote gender equality, we can work towards a future where everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed in entrepreneurship, regardless of their gender.

If a woman already has a good career even when she is single, then she will definitely be able to maintain an extraordinary career even if she chooses to get married. Well, in some developed countries we are used to seeing husband and wife having their respective careers in different fields. They support each other and well, marital status really won't be a hindrance to one's career.

But there are indeed several countries where when a woman decides to get married, most of them give up their careers and focus on taking care of the household. Mostly in developing countries we can see things like this are very common. But in developed countries it seems a little different. Because a career woman can still continue her career even though she is married. She may only take time off during pregnancy and childbirth. And after that they returned to their careers.

You may only see women who are successful in entrepreneurship in a very small scope so you say it like this, even though if you try to explore further or more about women who are married but are still able to become women who are successful in entrepreneurship, I'm sure you will find more successful women even though they are married. Because they can help their husbands run the business run by their husbands and look after their children, they will use maids and provide expenses to take care of their children when their children are very small.

There was nothing wrong with what he said about this because in fact there was such a thing, but for now there were more and more different facts in this kind of thing. I can imagine how busy married women are every day, but on the other hand I have also seen and even seen very often women who are still creative enough to help their husbands in entrepreneurship even though they have the task of taking care of their own household. This means that this will not work the same for every woman because the mindset of each woman is also very different so that nowadays we can still find women who are successful in the field of entrepreneurship even though they already have a husband.

What you say is also truer and has often happened nowadays because I also see many women who start to want to work in order to be able to earn an income and become independent even though they already have husbands. Because this doesn't only happen to women who are single, but this has happened to all women in various countries because they want to be more successful and independent than men.
