Press Release Body = BOSTON -March 10, 2006 - Female entrepreneurs are taking the
economy by storm. Not only do they own approximately 9.1 million small businesses in
the United States, but they are also starting them at twice the rate of their male
counterparts. April 7th is Empowered Women Entrepreneurs Day, and hundreds of women
from Wild Woman Entrepreneurs are joining in the celebration.
"Empowered Women Entrepreneurs Day is an event uniting the tens of thousands of
women entrepreneurs around the globe," explains Ja-Naé Duane, president and founder
of Wild Women Entrepreneurs (Wild WE). "It is a special and important occasion for
powerful and visionary women to gain strength and inspiration from each other."
Wild Women Entrepreneurs is a membership-based organization that encourages women to
reach their full potential in business and in life. Wild WE understand
entrepreneurship as an essentially creative endeavor. Their objective is to share
tools, networks, and ideas women need to assume leadership roles and become fun,
fearless, fabulous females. For more information about membership or upcoming
events, visit www.thewildwe.com.
Nationwide, women-owned businesses have grown steadily in each of the last ten
years. Empowered Women Entrepreneurs Day calls attention to the success-minded
individuals who are dedicated to igniting their business and, according to Duane,
fueling their souls. "They're women too independent to oblige by the 9-5 corporate
world, women who value and love their independence in creation, women dedicated to
fulfilling their roles as both mother and professional, and women who are not afraid
to make their own mistakes and fearless in picking up the pieces," she says
Duane emphasizes on the importance of recognizing the success of women in
entrepreneurship. "Becoming a female entrepreneur does not only reinforce the
importance of a woman's position in society," she says. "But it also makes greater
progress towards overall economic and social development. Women are responsible for
the achievements of increased economic growth, improved productivity, improved
distribution of income, and improved employment rate, that's why we need to
celebrate these Wild Women."
Women-owned firms in the United States provide jobs for 18.5 million people and
generate sales of nearly $2.38 trillion annually. Women now make up 41 percent of
the individuals with a net worth of $500,000 or more.
