BusinessWeek is focusing on Women Entrepreneur, This Time is Mine.

This report they feature 18 women entrepreneurs who left corporate America to run their own businesses. Most of these women run high-tech or life science companies. Only 2 left to make more money, but the others all wanted to own their own entreprises.

There’s a podcast, slide show and video to empower you to action.

– As in the opening paragraph, I, too, hid my first and second pregnancy as long as I could. Once I was “out”…it was great!

[While I wasn't in Corporate "private-enterprising" America, I was a government appointed public official. Nonetheless, the management experience helped me immensely in networking my freelance writing, and real estate business. Now, I'm bringing that experience online.]

Thank You, Big Business.
– I’m ready to start using my skills prior to pregnancy, of managing 11 Program Managers, 110 employees, $11 million general funds and $3 million grant funds. Strategic Planning, and Community Partnership was the success of our city, department and state.

Most importantly, BusinessWeek has a Call for Nominations until February 28, 2007 for women entrepreneurs who just left Corporate America. Nominees must have left a management position in Corporate America during the nomination period,
Feb 16th. the profiles will be highlighted online.

While you CAN nominate yourself, if you don’t want a selfless-plug, please email me at ponn {at} empowerwomennow {dot} com, and I’d love to nominate you!

P.S. I did notice that those profiled don’t look in the 20s – early 30s…why not?!
