Research - According to the National Women’s Business Center Report, Launching Women Owned Businesses on to a High Growth Trajectory, 2010:

"The challenge confronting the women’s entrepreneurship community today is to help women business owners do more than plan for business growth as usual. We need to dramatically transform women’s concepts of

the future of their enterprises – to move them into a place where they have the vision and the confidence to catapult their businesses to a whole new level.

To do this, we have to show women how to embrace the break neck pace of change; to be trend-setters rather than simply reactors; to invest in what might be rather than what is; to innovate beyond expectations; and, to develop global integration. We need to help them identify ways to make their enterprises scalable and to build teams of talented people for where the enterprise should be in five years, not just today.

We need to build on initiatives already underway in many parts of the women’s entrepreneurship community to convert the experiences of women who have achieved high business growth into generalizable, practical learning programs that are available to every woman business owner aspiring to lead a flourishing enterprise of whatever size.

This is the next threshold for women-owned businesses – it is what will ensure that women achieve their full potential as business owners and that the U.S. economy fully benefits from these enterprising women leaders."
