It has taken nearly 8 months to set up Real Second Chance. What we have found along the way has surprised even us. More statistics than we know what to do with, but some amazing ones on women entrepreneurs, their differences from men, and how many are so especially suited to entrepreneurship. That alone should be a country goal, to get more women involved in building their own businesses.

But our group, those who really haven’t had a chance before, is especially challenging. They have all the positive characteristics of women entrepreneurs, but really have to fight twice as hard in order to overcome their current places in society. Those who make it could start an army that could control the world. The strength we’ve seen from some of our early possible candidates could shake the very ground we walk on.

We are in this to see if these women can make themselves and all of us proud. It won’t be easy for any of them, but talking to some early candidates, we can’t wait to get started.
