The Entrepreneur’s Source on How Moving from Employment to Empowerment is a Different Process for Women

My coworkers need me. I owe it to my boss to stay. This job is all I know. I’ve been here for over 10 years. These are just four of the countless thoughts that a woman may have that can prevent her from reaching her dreams of self-sufficiency. Women have come a long way in the workforce, but still have some room to grow into new positions and opportunities. These common justifications can often avert entrepreneurial-minded women from moving from Employment to Empowerment by leaving their current jobs to open their own business or franchise. Today, The Entrepreneur’s Source reflects upon why moving from Employment to Empowerment may be a different process for women.

Why Women Shy Away from Taking Risks
For most women, quitting a good job that pays the bills and offers benefits is perceived as quite a risk despite a women’s dissatisfaction in their current position. Studies show that women are more averse to risk-taking than men, according to Harvard Business Review. Why is this? Women already have enough pressure and stress put on them from managing their families to working a full time job, and looking to make a new career move can add stress to these busy women.

When women are stressed, they tend to take fewer risks than males. Because of this, many women are less likely to leave their current jobs even if it means settling for something less than their desired Income, Lifestyle, Wealth and Equity™ goals. Here is some advice to women who can identify with what was just said: Don’t let FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) prevent you from becoming a legend. You owe is to yourself and you family to at the very least explore the options available to you.
