What's something you wish you knew about starting a woman-owned business?
Answered by:
My biggest challenges was consistently being visible in social media and planning events.
My advice is to know your deep rooted "why you're pursuing your business." If that isn't strong enough you will not be able to make it through the challenges and there will be many. Do not doubt your ability and believe in your business. Surround yourself with those whose values are in alignment with yours and have set a successful course from which you can learn. BE PATIENT, building a successful and sustainable business takes time and investment in yourself for preparation for what is ahead.

Ella, two excellent pieces of advice: Believe in yourself/your business and invest in yourself. Nothing can shake you permanently if you truly believe in the gift you are sharing with the world and knowing to invest in yourself to grow and educate yourself further. This is the part of my business I enjoy the most, educating business owners/leaders on finance and business acumen, so that they become self-sufficient in driving to prorfitability.
