The main reasons for women to start a business are mostly the desire to stabilize the family, create a suitable family environment, and build their own independence, rather than the desire to reach the top of the social ladder or for career, success, or financial reasons. According to statistical data, almost 80% of Czech women entrepreneurs have decided to take complete ownership of their source of income in order to improve the distribution of their working hours; 65% of women have decided to become entrepreneurs because of their own independence, especially in the decision-making and management process of their own creations.
In addition, women are motivated more by interpersonal relationships, while men are motivated by a personal willingness to overcome certain barriers and boundaries and prove themselves capable. Thus, women\’s entrepreneurship differs somewhat from that of men. Women also trust their intuition more, and only 15% of women have direct and creative ideas that would succeed in a predatory competition.

Not all men are predators and not all women are feeble flowers.Percentage statistics speak as follows. The total is almost 45%.
