Ive always been seen as difficult even from the beginning.

And Im sick of being expected by society to bow my head and be quiet.

Im always learning how to improve aspects of my business, and Im open to new ideas.

Im firm when I need to be, and understanding when things come up.

But I often wonder are male entrepreneurs told theyre too difficult?

Are they looked at as entitled for having expectations?

Ive always been seen as difficult even from the beginning.

When I was a child, my parents often complained that I was needy, and demanding.

And every time I was terrified that I would ruin that relationship because I wasnt easy-going enough.

I still have that fear although its not as loud anymore.

But that fear doesnt coincide with business because business isnt personal.

Did I have to sweet talk him to do his job?

If I were a man would I have been told to be nicer?

Situations where I have to be opinionated come up all the time.

I live in an old apartment building, and recently Ive been having a lot of repairs.

were seen as demanding.

Because Im straight forward and get to the point, Im sometimes seen as a bitch.

But I really dont care about coddling peoples feelings.

We didnt get the right to vote because we asked for it nicely.

Difficult is just societys word for women speaking their minds.

The next time someone calls me difficult, Ill simply say youre right.
