O’Leary has two theories why this is the case. In a speech at Inc’s ‘GrowCo’ Conference, O’leary put the success down to women being better at time management and setting more attainable goals.

“I would give my money to a goat if I get a good return,” O’Leary told the audience at the ‘GrowCo’ conference insisting he isn’t out to start a gender war, but, “the outcomes have been very, very good on these women-run businesses because they know what they’re doing with time, and goal setting, and these things matter in micro-communities where culture is a big deal.”
