Networking on the golf course is somewhat more difficult for us or in the gym, thus it is sometimes more difficult for us to build relationships that lead to opportunity. Male skeptics, anti-Affirmative Action critics and balancing the traditional role of motherly caretaker with hard working entrepreneur. First and foremost, national and state government needs to acknowledge that the Good Old Boy world still exists. They need to acknowledge that creating opportunities for women to compete and succeed in business does not put the majority male world out of opportunity or take away jobs from men.

This is ridiculous as it promotes the unrealistic theory that a woman's capabilities are of a lesser quality than that of a man. As well, many tend to believe that women just can't figure the numbers. However, if there were more women teaching MBA programs the real message about our world of entrepreneurship would come across. As well, it would make men more sensitive to the problems we face without immediately assuming we are whining. Women can become more involved in non-traditional roles, chambers and business organizations.
