Women achieving success without capital

Genetically, women are multi-taskers. For a very long time these skills were only put to use in household chores and child-care. Since the turn of the century, more and more women are stepping into more and more fields, and talents like multi-tasking, patience and determination are helping them succeed. However, even with all these qualities, men have a lead over women by years of experience, workplace domination, and prevalent prejudice against the fairer sex. This makes it very difficult for women to make their mark in their chosen professions.

One great way for women to succeed at work- without having to face issues like this and to have better flexibility or to just please their entrepreneurial side is to start up ventures, which these days don’t require too much money (depending on what you are going for.)  Two stay at home women with no capital income, who believed in their talent saw great success. These are their stories.

Ree Drummond, popularly known as The Pioneer Woman, is one such women, who through her blog managed to make a successful career for herself. Starting out as a blog writer, Drummond developed a large following for her blog and did not have to spend thousands to start her website. Solely through her writing skills she managed to get published. After the success of her cookbook, she was offered a show and she currently has her own show at the Food Network.

When Paula Deen started out, she was called “The Bag Lady,” when she was running a home-based delivery service. Starting out with just $200 in her pocket, Deen had to work long hours to support herself and her children. Without giving up, she continued to work hard and soon opened her first restaurant in Savannah. Later, she too launched her own cookbook. Like Drummond, Deen too has her own show on the Network.
