Overconfidence is proven to have a considerable effect on investment decisions.Implications/Novel Contribution: The research underscores the need to strengthen financial literacy among women entrepreneurs so that they do not fall into the traps of biased investment decisions, while also suggesting further exploration into the scope of financial literacy’s role in overcoming other heuristic biases
