Entrepreneurship among women is growing faster than ever. In 2017, women-owned firms accounted for 39% of all privately held firms. The top challenges for women business owners include marketing and sales, profitability, and finding the right people to hire. The purpose of this webinar is to help women entrepreneurs discover resources and tools to make better business decisions and gain competitive advantage. Attendees will also learn the aggregate results of the 2020 WOW (Women of Worth) Survey of Women Entrepreneurs, Business Owners & Professionals.

Women entrepreneurs who are supported are more likely to be successful.
