My mother told me that someday I would see the clock tick so fast that the days would fly by and that all those times I sat waiting for something to happen I'd wish I'd have spent them doing something productive - as usual, my mother was right. As a woman entrepreneur, I know there truly isn't enough time in the day!

Are you as tired as I am of reading about how women entrepreneurs create only small businesses and need to think bigger? Are you proud of the business you launched and happy with your $1/4M, $1/2M or $1M in revenues?
