The 3 Biggest Mistakes Smart Women Make When Starting a Business
The 3 Biggest Mistakes Smart Women Make When Starting a Business
Smart, accomplished women are really good at making starting a business approximately 700 times harder than it needs to be.
Ask me how I know. 😂
The same skills that helped you succeed in corporate, preparing, researching, mitigating risk and getting things right, can actually get in your way when you're trying to build something of your own.
In this episode of The Intentional Next Act, I'm breaking down three of the biggest mistakes I see women make when starting a business and, more importantly, what to do instead.
We’re talking about:
-
Waiting for the perfect business idea instead of testing an imperfect one
-
Why your 25+ years of experience is valuable business inventory
-
When preparation becomes a very sophisticated form of procrastination
-
Why you probably don't need another certification. You need a customer.
-
The problem with quitting your job too soon
-
Why your corporate paycheck may be one of your greatest business-building assets
-
How small experiments create evidence, confidence and options
You don't need your forever business figured out.
You need an idea worth testing, a real human who might need it, and enough courage to put something in front of them.
Progress over perfection. Every damn time.
