It's a fact, no entrepreneur likes the thought of failing in business. But here's another fact - research shows that while fear of failure is the biggest concern for all entrepreneurs, women fear it more than men. Women who are considering starting a business should not be afraid of failure, and instead see it as part of the journey and an opportunity to continue learning.
‘Fear of failure’ is an important factor preventing women from making a significant impact in the world of business.
There's no doubt that for many aspirant women entrepreneurs, fear of failure holds them back from actually starting a business, or scaling their business to new heights. Women need to challenge the deeply-rooted notion that they cannot be entrepreneurs; or that they may launch a business and then fail, and such barriers hold them back from taking that vital next step. In the world of entrepreneurship, it's important to start out by looking at all the positive reasons to start a business, rather than overthinking the risk of failure from the get-go. Success or failure in business does not have anything to do with gender. It's about research and planning well; hard work and determination (in large quantities); and the will to succeed.
