Moving from policy to practical solutions will help pave the way for more females to run their own businesses according to a 2015 study conducted by the Kaufman Foundation, women are half as likely as men to start a business.
This is true despite that fact that women make great entrepreneurs. If you're part of the Rich Woman community, you already knew this, but as confirmed by Kaufman:
  • Women entrepreneurs have a more nuanced view of risk, identifying more strongly than men as financial risk takers, while remaining concerned about "fool hardy risks."
  • Women display greater ambition to become serial entrepreneurs than their male counterparts.
  • More broadly, an increase in the number of women in business leadership positions is correlated with increased business returns and payout ratios.
Among the barriers Kaufman suggests keep women from entrepreneurship are:
  • Lack of mentors
  • The perception of starting a business as masculine, not feminine
  • Work-life balance issues (i.e., being a working mother)

The Sporty Dog is Changing The Way Baltimore Thinks About Hot Dogs

​Mother-and-daughter team uses local ingredients to craft vegan and all-natural dogs.          By Lauren Cohen | September 24, 2018, 4:06 pm

There’s nothing more American than a classic hot dog with zigzags of mustard and ketchup. But, in a time when diners are becoming more conscious about what they’re putting into their bodies, franks are losing their luster.

“Every time we ask someone why they don’t eat hot dogs, they say, ‘Because I don’t know what’s in them,’” says LaShauna Jones, owner of local hot dog pop-up The Sporty Dog. “We started thinking a lot about how to remove that. We want people to know exactly what’s in them.” In an effort to combat the hot dog stigma, Jones—along with her 25-year-old daughter, Daejonne Bennett—started their health-conscious food pop-up in the spring of 2017.

​The Sporty Dog uses all-natural, locally sourced products, including beef from Liberty Delight Farms in Reisterstown, to create unique franks topped with everything from strawberries and arugula to pineapple and caramelized onions.

“Yes, we put fruit on a hot dog—that’s just my brain being over the top,” Jones says. “No one would imagine that strawberries would pair so well with beef, but it’s ridiculously good.”
Jones previously worked as a government contractor for more than 20 years. When her contract came to an end in 2017, she decided to make the leap to start the business with her daughter, who had been pursuing a career in the culinary world.

“I was like, ‘Let’s do hot dogs, that’s gotta be easy, right?’ Jones says with a laugh. “Sometimes I’m a little more ambitious than I need to be.” But the duo’s ambition turned out to be well worth it. They began selling their creations at the Greenmount West farmers’ market last season—where The Sporty Dog quickly became an anchor—and have been popping up at various community events around town ever since.
