☎️ Calling all women entrepreneurs: This one's for you...

Newsletter Thursday, March 17th Hi Friend, Women entrepreneurs have been making waves for decades, and it’s undoubtedly better to be a woman in business today than 30 years ago. In 1980, women-owned 2.5 million businesses in the US, with an average revenue of $2,200. Today, there’s an estimated 14 million woman-owned businesses, with an average revenue of $384,359. However and unfortunately, to say there's still a long way to go would be an understatement. There’s still so much room to challenge gender disparities and narrow the wage gap. For example, women-owned and -run businesses aren’t funded nearly as well as businesses owned and run by men. This needs to change. So to honor Women's History Month and support driving change, this newsletter is dedicated to resources to support, inspire, and uplift women and women-identifying business owners. - Daniel, FreshBooks Editor-in-Chief How a Mother of 2 and Navy Spouse is Using FreshBooks to Build Her Business Kate Josephine Johnson is building a thriving online community by teaching small business owners to navigate their bookkeeping.
