Business Presentation For The Funding Of Women Business Council

Lesley Gillespie, the cofounder of Australia’s most successful bakery, Baker’s Delight, has shown many, if not all, of the traits required to be a successful entrepreneur, and is now on the BRW Rich Women 2015 list. In an equal partnership with husband Roger, her position as joint chief executive puts her on the list of a minority of business owned by women, especially in the 1980’s when Bakers Delight was opened. Though she has said that she has not faced many barriers to being a woman in business, apart from a few instances, a woman would likely not have made it to be so successful without focus, thinking of those around her, passion, self motivation and without being a hard worker, all of which are traits required to be an entrepreneur.

In this period of time, it is hard to advance in a career field without having education further than a high school diploma. Hence, the reason many people are starting families and careers later in life because they cannot simply

In today's century it is essential to have an education to enhance your job and provide a comfortable future for your family. After having children we realize that education is significant in order to succeed. While working takes a lot of time away from family, adding school to your schedule makes it difficult to spend quality time with your children. The problem most people face with balancing school, work, and family is being an excellent student, an outstanding employee, and a caring parent all in the same day.

Today, college is an option in some homes because many work places will not hire you if you do not have some type of college education. When applying to college it can be very stressful on one, especially when one start to think about how much money it is going to cost someone each year that they are trying to earn your degree. Most of your college students go to school not because they want to spend money, but because they must earn their education to make it somewhere with a career. According to Jacques Steinberg in a New York’s Time article, he says that when someone goes to college school

The Fifth Business by Robertson Davies is told in the form of a letter written by Ramsay on his retirement from teaching, “a character essential to the action but not a principal” that was affected by or had an effect on the other characters of the play. The life of Dunstan Ramsay is the backdrop and the thread connecting countless subplots and themes, but as his very evident passion for hagiology sets him out to discover the difference between materialism and spirituality, the actual importance of women is brought about in the novel by his interactions since childhood onwards and we see how these women mould, scar and

According to statistics, employment in never married mothers increased nearly 50%, single mothers who HS dropouts increased by 2/3, young single mothers nearly doubled (Karger et al., 2007). But the problem is, are these jobs sufficient enough to get these people out of poverty? There are issues with employment of individuals. These issues include a lack of work experience and education as well as poor health (Urban Institute, 2014). Needing to work also impacts parent(s) and their duties for their children because of long hours, stressful commutes, ad stressful working conditions. These types of stress lead kids to take on the responsibilities of their parents to take care of their younger siblings (Boscia, 2010).

Because it is typical for displaced homemakers in particular to have gaps that span several years in their resume, many lack up-to-date technological skills that are needed in the current fast-paced, data based job market. By offering a relevant job-skills training to those who may already have a postsecondary degree of some sort, with classes such as typing, technical literacy, and multicultural awareness, over four months, these mothers are given the opportunity to gain knowledge that opens up new jobs that pay higher salaries with substantial benefits. For those without a college degree, the program also offers the chance for displaced homemakers to acquire an associate’s degree during a two-year program that includes the basis of job-skills training as well. Upon the completion of these programs, the DHRA assists in finding internships and jobs for these displaced homemakers to apply their skill

Some people believe you can still have a successful life without attending college. Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal, believes that entrepreneurial students would be better off leaving college. He believes this so strongly that he will “pay each of the 24 winners of his Thiel Fellowship $100,000 not to attend college for two years and to develop business ideas instead”(Source E). Mr. Thiel believes very strongly that going straight into business is a more successful path and that students should not waste their time getting a college education, something he finds the demand for “irrational”(Source E).

Women make up half of the United states population according to the US census bureau, however women have been historically underrepresented in the business environment (7. US census). If women could overcome the challenges that seem to affect them in business they could become an integral part of the future workforce as it grows in many women based industries. What challenges could be holding women back from their full potential in the business world? The first part of my research question to be addressed that would allow an adequate understanding of the subject would be to find the challenges that specifically women as a gender group may face in business, I believe this will help to understand what effects they have on the challenges that African American Women(AAW) face. Although women owned business have been steadily increasing rapidly in growth in the US economy there are certain challenges that specifically African American women have been found to have to face that may hinder them from reaching the same potential afforded their male counterparts. In a journal writing written by the international labor organization(ILO) they focused on these challenges that women business owners face and some of these specific questions were addressed.

Furthermore, many people want to progress in their work, some simply want to gain in depth education on the particular field they want to achieve. However, individual’s bosses do not always understand. Having a job while in college is a huge demand. Depending on whether students have families or not will put them in a tight position. Ultimately the demand for both will result in them dropping out of college. Mark Kantrowitz says, “Many students who drop out of college has to work while enrolled in college (Why Do Students Drop out of College Kantrowitz)." He follows up by saying that “they often find it very difficult to support themselves and their families and go to college at the same time (Why Do Students Drop out of College Kantrowitz)." In most homes, one's family always comes first no matter what. For example, the desired accomplishments of the mother are not greater than the needs of her children. School work and the work one puts into he/she's job alone are hard to manage. Having to

The labor force of the United States has changed drastically over the last forty years. According to the Department of Labor, in 2012, 64% of woman with children under the age of six are in the labor force. While only 34% of mothers were working in 1970 (Gullekson, Griffeth, Vancouver, Kovner, & Cohen, 2014). Furthermore, in 1974, 80% of kids under the age 17 were cared for by a parent (Morrissey & Warne, 2011). Given this dramatic increase of mothers in the workforce, there is a considerable amount of time missed by the working parent. On average, American working parents miss nine days of work per year and that number increases to thirteen as the child moves through daycare and into elementary school. Breakdowns in childcare cost businesses three billion dollars annually (Shellenback, 2004). Given these staggering numbers the demand for reliable and affordable childcare has never been bigger.

As unskilled jobs become more unreliable to support families, it has become increasingly clear that the path to success in America lies with education. A majority of Americans now believe that a college education is necessary for their children, which can be contrasted with most

secretary of education states that “high-quality education" that encourages "creativity, imagination, and ingenuity’”. It is true that thirty percentage of startup business failure reasons of “unbalanced Experience or Lack of Managerial Experience”, followed by “lack of Experiences in line of goods or services” is about eleven percentage. Interestingly, company competence occupied the highest rate of failure of 46% (Statistic Verification, Entrepreneur Weekly, Small Business Development Center, Bradley University, university of Tennessee Research). In addition, successful entrepreneur usually possess “highly motivated and willingness to take initiative to execute duties” and have appropriately responsible to their activities, decision, and company’s outcomes.

Starting a business is the latest trend. Just take a look at Instagram. Several profiles have the caption ‘Entrepreneur’. At this very moment, there is someone, somewhere working on an idea, a business plan or launching a startup. Entrepreneurship is on the rise like never before. The flexibility and independence that comes with being one’s own boss is attractive and worth taking the leap in starting a business.
