We recently came across the “Celebrating Women Business Owners” initiative from American Express and we wanted to share some interesting statistics plus a few words from eDrop-Off owner Corri McFadden. For any aspiring entrepreneurs…this is a must read!

What better way to celebrate this initiative than to hear from Corri herself? Check it out…

Do you find being a woman an advantage or disadvantage as an entrepreneur?

Every situation has its advantages and disadvantages. I don’t really look at myself as a “woman entrepreneur,” I just see myself as a business owner…on the same level as every other business owner.

What’s the best part about being an entrepreneur? 

Making your dream a reality. Seeing your goal come true is the ultimate reward. I also love mentoring a team of people who I truly enjoy.

What advice would you give to young women who want to start their own business?

Make sure you have a balance between creativity and business. And your drive should stem from passion, not money.
