Tweet with Young Female Entrepreneurs this Thursday, September 22nd at 4pm PST/ 7pm EST at #YFEchat. Our topic this week is “Risky Business.” While we won’t be discussing Tom Cruise, his sunglasses, lack of pants, or poor choices in this chat, we will be tweeting about risk in business and in life in general.

Do you have stories like this one? Wish that you did? Let’s tweet about it…
