This subject is something that I’m passionate about because well, I’m a woman and so is my business partner. We’re actually cousins. But that is another story. We’ll catch up soon on that.
I know the saying is cliché’ but we’ve come a long way baby. What commercial was that from? Oh I can’t remember; but it doesn’t matter either.
I have to say that while more and more women are entering the folds of business ownership–we still have a lot of ground to gain in that area.
I want you to sit back and forget everything you were told. You can’t do that you’re a woman; you can’t do that you’re a woman…blah blah blah.
That is just plain nonsense. I know more forward thinking women who are online making their business work; and my network grows larger and wider everyday that I continue to network with people all over the world.
Yes there are challenges that we face as women in the big world of online commerce; but that isn’t going to stop–men face as many challenges.
The best advice I can give women today is, “Stop Selling Yourself Short”. If you let the men of the online world run over you; than you are not going to succeed in the dog eat dog of online entrepreneurship.
Be determined to build your online brand as a fresh, up and coming leader! Someone who has ideas that will turn the online world on it’s oh what’s the word? I’ll just use upside down.
Get your name out there. Get your face out there. Get your brand out there. Eventually you’ll have more and more people coming to you–asking you for your ideas. Asking you for your help. It will happen my friend and when it does; oh what a sweet feeling. I have a friend who will remain nameless and while she is a leader in the industry; her male business partners tend to treat her like she is their glorified secretary–interesting isn’t? I will tell ya though! She doesn’t take it sitting down. And if you find yourself in the same predicament–stand up and shout!
I am NOT your secretary! Yup, that’s what my friend does.
A word of caution–it takes a certain mindset to build your brand in this “mans” world. You may want to find some online resources for women in business; it may be a group, a forum, an online community. But when you network with powerful women–you become even more powerful in your own right. Never overlook the resources available at the click of a mouse.
