What Kind of Female Entrepreneur are You?
I need to know: What kind of female entrepreneur are you?
- Do you create physical products? If so, what are they?
- Do you own a service or consulting business? If so, what service do you provide?
- Do you have a MLM (multi-level marketing) business like Airbonne or a distribution business of some sort? Tell us all about what you promote.
- Do you own a manufacturing facility? What do you make?
- Are you an internet business woman, using affiliate revenues and internet marketing to build revenue streams?
- Are you a celebrity or author or speaker building her brand? What’s your message?
- Are you a stay-at-home mompreneur or WAHM?
- Have you taken leadership of the family business? What does it do in the market place?
- Are you a Dilberta in cubicle nation, secretly planning her escape, whose entrepreneur’s heart is full of hope and promise?
- Are you an advocate or activist or politician?
- Are you an inventor or artist or something else I haven’t mentioned yet?
Here’s your chance to sign on, get a link from our site leading back to yours, and share with us what you do.
The reason I want input is, one, I am curious and two, I recognize that women entrepreneurs are not a monolithic demographic. Although we have many similarities, the sub-segments of us all have different needs and goals. I, for example, do not have children. Although I can try to imagine the needs and concerns of a parent, I don’t truly know. I don’t have to make those sacrifices, nor do I get to experience those joys. I haven’t ever lived there.
I am a true believer that together we are stronger. It’s not just my motto, it’s my mantra. I find our differences interesting because I am a constant learner. I need other people, and specifically other women entrepreneurs, to understand my own entrepreneur’s journey. It gives me context and new ideas. So I am asking for your help for a selfish reason. I need you. I need you present to understand myself. My rewards in life are only complete if they are shared.
So, what do you say? Post a comment about what you do. I know you’re out there. Would you share with me and with all of us? I’d love it if you would.
Together, we are stronger.

Hey there!
I absolutely agree that women in business need to stick together and support one another in whatever our business endeavors may be. Once we build this already solid foundation up to the stratospheres of success, we truly can IMHO, save the economy!
Currently, I’m an official Microsoft ambassador and right now we’re really trying to scale up our connections with influential bloggers like yourself. I’d love to share with you some of the stuff we’ve been doing in the last couple months to help women entrepreneurs; we’re really committed to providing all the necessary resources to help women start, grow and expand their business.
We just wrapped up a women’s entrepreneurial tour across the US called “Vision To Venture;” the response and turn-out was great!
I’d really love your take on these offerings we have right now; I would have contacted you via email but I didn’t know which was the best way to reach you.
Thank you so much, I hope I didn’t overstep my bounds by directly contacting you. Definitely get back to me if I’ve piqued your interest– I’d love to share more info with you.
Best,
Tanya M.
Official Microsoft Ambassador
