Here's one of the results I found fascinating.... Do you have the qualitied needed to be a successful entrepreneur -- according to other entrepreneurs?
Here are the qualities *both* female and male entrepreneurs rated high....
* Persistence
* Sense of Humor
* Creativity
* Critical thinker
and they both rated the following as *medium* in importance....
* Strength
* Courage
* Receptivity
In addition, women rated the following qualities as *high*....
* Intelligence
* Independence
and the following as *medium* in importance....
* Intuition
* Attention to Detail
* Compassionate
* Generosity
* Nurturing
* Sensitivity
* Politeness
While men rated the following as *high*....
* Positive attitude
* Team player
and the following as *medium* in importance....
* Vision
* Managerial expertise
* Maturity
This has really opened my eyes.... I've mostly read business books written by *men*, but now I realize that there seem to be different "male" and "female" approaches to business.... Women do have a better business "survival" rate than men do....
I find this kind of information quite fascinating.... :)
