An Entrepreneur is someone who has the ability to take risks and think out of the box. People who have these creative assets can certainly grow up the ladder in their respective business and also as an employee. Entrepreneurship is important for both men and women. Empowerment is a need and it’s not difficult when you create the support structure and the required internal confidence. Enjoy every moment of your life because you won’t get back this time and moments. As a woman, empowerment should be from within; the rest will follow.”
