So, when I read this headline, I had a bit of a deja-vu/repost ping go off. I read a similar article somewhere about how a woman was struggling because her fellow female entrepreneurs didn't understand that she just couldn't borrow money from her husband to keep her company afloat. I'm gonna try and hunt it down and link it in the comments here. It might make for some interesting comparisons.
Wasn't there something about those shops in the mall that don't seem to have any customers? They were run by "trophy wives" on the spouse's money to give them something to do. I'm looking online for the article describing these things and for the life of me cannot find it. The point of the article was the women who scrimped and saved and begged for SBA loans were pissed that these shops were undercutting them.
I can't find it, but from what I remember, the two articles are very similar. Some people just don't acknowledge that their success somewhat hinges on outside factors. That said, I found out while dredging through Google that apparently if you're married and one of you two own a business, finances and taxes and laws get real messy, especially in divorce. Who knew?
