Women-owned businesses need to think big and persevere

Women-owned businesses are three-and-a-half times less likely to reach $1 million in annual revenue as businesses owned by men, according to an independent impact study released by Ernst & Young LLP, a professional services company.
The reason? Most women just don’t think big enough.
Here are five key points Ernst & Young recommends for scaling small companies into large ones:

  1. Think big and be bold
  2. Build a public profile
  3. Work on the business, rather than in it
  4. Establish key advisory networks
  5. Evaluate financing for expansion
