In 1982 women owned 40% of stocks. Today it is about 60%. Thus women need to understand stock voting and related issues of stock ownership and management.
A second speaker noted that access to money is access to power. Women definitely have more trouble accessing money that men. Women don't like debt, but a business cannot grow without it. A particular barrier comes when businesses grow beyond $250,000 in annual revenues. At that point an owner has to let go--she has to allow others to be responsible for parts of the business. Women need to think ahead, to have a five year plan and a sense of what they have to do to get to their goal.
Go, women, go!
