Across the Desk: Entrepreneurs of all ages

This week was an eye opener for all the great members of Ballsy. Not in a shocking way but in a learning way. This was one of the reasons I decided to change the Ballsy Women in Business podcast theme to be Wonder Woman based. We are freaking awesome. The group of women coming out to Ballsy continue to impress and amaze me as to what we've accomplished and what we continue to build. We focused a lot last week on the impact of age on being an entrepreneur. The fire to succeed might be the same but is tempered by the many responsibilities that being a mature entrepreneur might include. Being a more mature entrepreneur (and by mature I mean older than 35 ;)), especially when you've tried it when younger, gives you a different perspective that I think will always be of value. We also talked about running in to obstacles in the form of ego centric men and wack job women. You are going to run in to both. You are going to have to stand in your confidence when dealing with both. And you will take the lessons learned from dealing with the crazy to be a better person and to protect your business. Last but not least - the I call bullshit clause. Interested in what that means? Give a listen ;)
