Building Your Business Like A Girl

Huh? What? What kind of crack is that? Ok, ok, settle down, it got your attention anyways, didn’t it?

Remember, when you were younger and you heard the phrase ‘you throw like a girl’? Well being accused of doing anything ‘like a girl’ is a common thing even today. But have you ever heard of running your business like a girl?

Face it, women are hugely different than men when it comes to just about anything, so why should the business world be anything different? Women tend to think more with emotions and feeling, where as men tend to use logic in pretty much any situation. Women do not necessarily look for quick solutions, but they tend to want to talk about their options and express how they feel.

Women in business tend to go with their ‘gut’ feelings a lot of the time and more often than not, this pays off. Women tend to pick up subtle cues that some men might miss and more often than not base their actions on intuition.

Women tend to make relationships easier then men in the business world where as, with men, competition is usually involved. Women are much more into getting a connection with their employees. Also women are definitely nurturers and that is apparent even with in their friendships and business relationships. Women also tend to be better bosses because of the fact that they are more nurturing and usually more humble then men. If you are like me, you tend to apologize for most things even if it has nothing to do with you, most women are the same and humility should be a big factor in leadership

Women tend to be aware more that they aren’t able to do everything on their own as opposed to men – many men think they are an island. Women are not afraid to ask for help in most cases.

So if you have your own business or are planning to start your own business, don’t be afraid to actually run it like a girl. Who knows how far it will go?
