Adriana Gardella, the former Fortune small business editor, has started a new blog for the New York Times on businesses owned by women called “She Owns It.”
“The business media focus on fast-growth firms may also be hurting the cause of the women (and men) who start equally significant businesses but on their own terms. ‘I want to change the world and to do that I’ve got to be big,’ said Janice Shade, founder of True Body Products, a soap company. ‘But I need to grow in a way that is true to my values and mission. Often, a full-on pursuit of short-term growth leads to myopic decision making that proves detrimental in the long run.’
“With this blog, I hope to highlight the challenges and successes of women who are business owners and entrepreneurs across industries and disciplines, and at many different stages in the growth of their businesses. I think the women we highlight will be sources of information, inspiration and connections to your peers.”
