Being an entrepreneur is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I have to play the role of client service, trainer, counselor, assistant, creative strategist, finance, HR, marketing, IT and even therapist at times.
Today is Women’s Entrepreneurship Day and this is so important to me as a woman who has her own business, but also as a woman who supports other women through my Women Who Wow series.
I’ve featured more than 150 women in the series and have held nearly 20 webinars. The program has grown, and I’m so proud of it because I want to support and learn from other women.
I haven’t always had the best female bosses or colleagues but I have learned from those experiences and created Women Who Wow as a result (silver lining moment!).
So today I want to recognize some of the women who I greatly admire and from whom I learn. I also want to thank them for their counsel and advice. We are so much stronger when we are supporting each other.
Women Who Wow hosted a women’s entrepreneur panel with powerhouse group Deborah McMurray, Deborah Scaringi, Jennifer Klyse, Katie Lipp, Sherine Clarke, Olivia Vizachero, Laura Leopard and Shari Belitz a few months ago and you can watch it on my YouTube channel. Here is part 1 and here is part 2.
In addition to the women who participated in the roundtable I want to mention Paula Edgar, Elonide Semmes, Helen Burness, Eva Wisnik, Jennifer Gillman, Jeorjina Tegel, Deborah Brightman Farone, Karen Kahn and Melanie Lippman who inspire me every day.
