Babson College has released
their annual study of woman-run businesses
in Massachusetts. 

One interesting finding? 

Female leaders are also owners. 
80% of the CEO’s held controlling ownership. 

Is that surprising? 
No. 
I was told by a male mentor
during my time in corporate that
if I really wanted to be CEO,
I should start my own company. 
Perceived as easier than
duking it out within the male dominated Fortune 500 companies
(’course anyone can start a company,
making that company successful is more challenging).
