The statistic of low C-suite participation by women used to bother me a whole lot more than it does now. I know for myself, I made choices in both corporate and entrepreneurial endeavors that enabled me to make time for what was important in my life. And it has not always been breaking glass ceilings and spending time away from my family who needed me. I think a lot of women are blazing their own trails, not sacrificing, but building a life they love.

Keep the posts coming!!!! A few great stories of just such entrepreneurialship are also at http://www.seobuzzinternetmarketing.com/blog/ready-to-step-out-of-comfort-zone-on-road-to-entrepreneurship/.
