Answer 1

And are successful at it!

I know so many women that needed to do something that marriage had not prepared them for, and now a good few of them are entrepreneurs with their own successful businesses.

One is in catering for high class dinner parties.
One runs a party store.
Another is a tax accountant.
Another is a computer technologist.

All successful.

And yes, their years of running the home and throwing lavish dinner parties certainly helped them with not only the attitude they needed to succeed, but the contacts as well.

This all takes start up money....and money to sustain the business until it pays for itself. Many women (and men, I might add) don't have the monetary base to make this a viable option. I forget the number of years that you should plan on a start up business needing "support" before it can begin to show any type of profit but it is several years. My partner and I owned a business for about 3 years before we called it quits. I worked full time the entire time to support this business. It finally came down to mortgaging the house to give the business an infusion and we just were not ready to do that. And before you ask/tell, we did get advice from many experienced people including SCORE. And, yes, I've heard of the few that have made it but certainly not the majority. The vast majority of small busniesses fail within the first year or two of operation. I agree with you that it is not because that don't have the "smarts"....just not the folding green....

It's not really amazing but it's just the outcome of modern ideas towards and about women's freedoms and rights. If we are to achieve equality then we should focus on that equality and not on the differences. Men and women in the workforce have equal chance for success as in private enterprise. Women's success in the world of business does not in any way diminish the abilities of their male counterparts. I think it's a good thing that women have the freedom to pursue their dreams which was not at all possible not too many years ago. A woman does not have to be divorced to start up her business and many successful woman are married with happy families. It is unfortunate that some men are not capable of allowing their spouses the freedom of expression in any venture. Those are the marriages that unfortunately collapse.

What's so amazing about it? From God's standpoint, men and women are tardy in realizing their full potentials and harmonizing them with the better ways, so some women have to do it after a divorce. But lots of women do that while married too... the successful ones now realize they must allow their partners to do what they were born and made for. It has only been mankind himself that hindered woman in the workforce and place too much of the family duty on her. BOTH parents in the family must assist in child rearing and care in order to be good parents and good partners. They must decide between themselves in their marriage those duties which each is best suited to do rather than try and fit square pegs into round holes and follow some set belief system that allows one to lord himself or herself over the other. In a successful marriage, both parties have found a way to harmonize their skills, gifts and talents as two 100% people.

It is still amazing to some degree that a woman can build her own business after a divorce, but it is sad on the other hand she could not do so in her marriage.

"...The ideals of marriage have made great progress in recent times; among some peoples woman enjoys practically equal rights with her consort. In concept, at least, the family is becoming a loyal partnership for rearing offspring, accompanied by sexual fidelity. But even this newer version of marriage need not presume to swing so far to the extreme as to confer mutual monopoly of all personality and individuality. Marriage is not just an individualistic ideal; it is the evolving social partnership of a man and a woman, existing and functioning under the current mores, restricted by the taboos, and enforced by the laws and regulations of society.

Twentieth-century marriages stand high in comparison with those of past ages, notwithstanding that the home institution is now undergoing a serious testing because of the problems so suddenly thrust upon the social organization by the precipitate augmentation of woman's liberties, rights so long denied her in the tardy evolution of the mores of past generations. ...

Answer 5

I don't think most women start companies when they divorce unless they were unemployed before.
It is a time of change maybe moving and making all new habits and friends so it would be a good time to rethink your career.
I haven't started a business but didn't consider it after my divorce because I had enough changes and my job paid very well.
I did consider it 10 years later, I almost started a CPA firm but was offered a job too good to turn down.
