I dunno. You ever seen a pregnant lady swing a maul to bust out a 1930s era mortar set floor reinforced with steel mesh lathe? Done it. I'm a chick and I've built businesses by getting out there and doing large portions of the work myself.
The tradesmen who work for me respect my knowledge and authority as the boss lady as a result even though it's been a while now since I've laid tile or framed or roofed or installed plaster with my own hands. My guys have all seen me do actual work.
This idea that I'm sitting around on my fat ass eating bon bons is funny. I don't sit still long enough to have a fat ass, lol. I mentor several young men who are striving to build a business akin to mine, have several millionaire men who are mentors of mine, and have today a man who wants to deploy a six figure sum with me to aid my endeavors while diversifying his own holdings & earning a return.
In the last 45 days I've closed on 7 units, provided jobs to half a dozen men in the trades and improved the properties and hence the neighborhoods where I own.
When I talk about success I speak from my own personal experience. Currently there is a man who is very sick, perhaps terminally so, who has worked for me for a dozen years or so. Honest, tough, fair, dependable. A man who has swam through shjt for me, literally.
He can't work right now so has no income. Myself and several others for whom he has worked for years are handling his bills & seeing to it that he has groceries and rides to his doctors. He's a proud man & doesn't relish needing help. But he's appreciative in his own gruff way. If he dies I'll probably pay for his funeral. He's been extremely loyal to me, taught me a tremendous amount & benefitted me greatly over the years. He's a trusted friend & I respect him a great deal. And he respects me too.
I'm happy to help him and I do it out of gratitude for all he has done for me over the years. We come from opposite backgrounds, are from vastly different social strata, and live very different lifestyles. But we are both fiercely independent entrepreneurs and there we have much respect & common ground.
So yes. There are women who have built things.
