Whether you are starting a business, have been in business forever, or you are considering a shift in your business, there are a few things that every single woman needs in order to thrive. While this is not a complete list, it is absolutely the three pieces of the puzzle from women entrepreneurs that I think are most crucial.
- A Community
Going it alone is for the birds. Truly. It may seem silly to spend your time in search of a supportive community of women in your field or general network when your goal was to work for yourself, but who else will understand the trials and tribulations of owning a business more than other women in the same position.
I firmly believe that as women entrepreneurs, we need each other. We have a whole different set of responsibilities, expectations, and ENERGY, and we need to lift each other up.
As a bonus, when you have an emergency or a breakdown or a burning question, you find yourself with a whole army of women waiting to help. - Systems
You have 10,000 things on your plate. You need to have systems and automations in place in order to survive this lifestyle. Check out this post for an example of WHY and HOW we do it. - A Sense of Humor
It may go without saying, but this ISH is HARD, and having a sense of humor will make or break you. When you “fail”, when you lose out on a contract to someone else, when you have a difficult customer. LAUGHING through it will change everything.
