A forum created to open communication among small business owners. Please join me in search of new ideas and ways to grow and prosper in a technical and ever-changing society. hosted by Nancy Hinchliff
What's Risk Got To Do With It? Traditionally, boys and men are encouraged to engage in a wide variety of risk-taking endeavors and have plenty of opportunities to do so. Girls and women, however, are encouraged to conform and play by the rules.
As a woman business owner and as a coach of women in business, I've seen that no matter how successful we get, we all eventually hit the edge of our comfort zone, limiting our ability to take risks.
For some this zone is smaller than others. That learned behavior of conformity combines with the self-limiting beliefs we've adopted over the years and holds us back from taking even the smallest of risks.
What's exciting is that now, more then ever, women are well poised to break through these cultural and gender stereotypes.
(from an article by René Rioux, a Certified Empowerment Coach and author).
