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.
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.
