People should be taught to "think big". I have people that scoff at my goals but I don't let it get to me. While they are saying why; I am saying why not? No problem.

That said - I see a lot of women selling themselves short and setting their goals too small - more so than men. At least anecdotally, the statistics feel right to me - and I hope it's one of the things I can influence to change with my blog and in my business as a business development specialist for women entrepreneurs Thanks for challenging the notion that woman owned businesses have to be less profitable.
