By Michael O'Donnell, StartupBiz


If you’ve ever considered starting your own business, you have probably examined very closely how difficult it can be.

What you know may not be the whole story.

In 2012 women started more new businesses than men 

Fast forward 2 years, to 2014 and male business startups were dwarfing those of the women. Of those female start-ups, many failed.

Women are uniquely qualified to begin new businesses and here’s why-- studies show that when they do, those businesses are generally more diverse than startups of their male counterparts.  As one of the many thousands of aspiring small business owners, you are aware of the specific topics to be addressed and the issues that must be overcome to begin your business.

The Startup Resource Guide is presented by Herb Ammons, an entrepreneur whose businesses have spanned a great deal of territory ranging from video production to restauranteur, offers solid information on what you need to get started with your own small business.


It was written by Michael O’Donnell, a serial entrepreneur and startup mentor with 25 years of experience. He is an early-stage company director/adviso​r with expertise in starting and building technology companies backed by angel investors and venture capital.

He was on the launch teams of CompuServe Sprynet, one of the first national Internet Service Providers (went public as part of CompuServe in 1996), and Design Intelligence (acquired by Microsoft).

The Startup Resource Guide helps you to evaluate your strong points, your weaknesses, and to lay out a roadmap to a successful small business operation.
