A recently released study of top woman-led businesses shows female leaders are coming into their own in Florida.

The survey, which was conducted by Florida International University’s Center for leadership revealed that more than half of women-owned firms in the state are substantial in size – boasting revenue of $10 million or more.

The study also revealed that most women say they start companies to gain more control over their lives. 

‘’You don’t need to punch the clock; you don’t have to answer to anyone else; you definitely have more control over your life,'’ says Norka Munilla, president of Thunder Electrical Contractors, quoted in the Miami Herald.

I suspect that if you asked men why they went into business a good portion of them would say the same thing.  For many people, starting a business is a way to gain more control of their lives.

It is encouraging to see women in Florida taking a role in helping to shape the economy.
