Conclusions The findings of the GEM report also provide significant evidence for two important conclusions: Women entrepreneurs can be found in every country and under all circumstances A significant and systematic gap still exists in the entrepreneurial involvement and business ownership of men compared to women. Opportunities Great opportunities exist for governments at all levels to tap into the underutilized potential of women. Across the world, women from a variety of backgrounds are showing increasing interest in expressing their entrepreneurial spirit. And yet, many women hesitate to transform their business ideas into action.

Women entrepreneurs knowledge
Women entrepreneurs have to deal with the same basic business essentials as men. But it should be no problem. On the contrary.

Women entrepreneurs are better skilled
Several studies have shown that women entrepreneurs are better skilled than men. Skilled in the way that they have more factual knowledge about their product or service than men normally have.

If men feel they know 40 % of what they should know about their trade, they start a business. Women entrepreneurs prefer to know at least 98 % of what there is to know about their trade. So fewer women start a business.

Women entrepreneurs are experienced managers
At the same time women entrepreneurs are often better managers than men. They know by experience how to lead a group of people because they have often been the managers of their own family.

If you have three children, a mother in law who does not think you are good enough for her son, few money to buy food for, parents that depends on you, a husband you might love but who is not always that caring combined with evening classes in computing and you still manage you are quite a manager.

Managing a business is less difficult that managing an extended family.
As a woman entrepreneur you have many of the needed skills to run a business.
