5 Critical Challenges for Female Freelancers and Entrepreneurs

Despite the fact that we are starting new businesses in record numbers, female entrepreneurs and freelancers are still in the minority. That’s because, we face greater and different challenges compared to men.

Ladies, it’s about all of us. You are part of a global movement of over 230 million women in business. Their dreams matter. Your dreams matter.

That’s why we’re coming together for five short seminars to learn how we can close the gaps.

The Money Gap: Women face greater challenges accessing capital and an intractable pay gap whether you work for yourself or others.

In this session, you’ll discover how to start charging what you’re really worth, earn more, and raise more money for your business.

The Caregiving Gap: Women worldwide still perform the majority of caregiving duties and carry the bulk of the mental and emotional labor at home. This second shift takes a huge toll on women. Which leads to The Self-Care Gap: Female entrepreneurs often suffer from burnout, are at greater risk for mental illness, and put their own physical health and well-being last.

In this session, you’ll learn how to set clear boundaries and practice better self-care.

The Leadership Gap: Despite decades of progress, male CEOs still outnumber female CEOs by 17 to one. And men are still twice as likely to become entrepreneurs. As women, we deal with backlash, imposter syndrome, and a lack of confidence.

In this session, you’ll gain the confidence you need to position yourself as an expert in your field and lead with authenticity.

The Growth Gap: For years we’ve praised women for “playing it safe” financially, while punishing them for not taking bigger risks in business. It’s a double-edged sword that stops women from succeeding at the highest levels.

In this session, you’ll discover how to take bigger swings and greater leaps, not without risk, but with wisdom and confidence guiding the way.

Moving Forward with Mentorship: Even though mentors are proven to help you succeed faster and go farther, many women are still reluctant to ask for a mentor - that is if you can find one.

In this session, you’ll discover why the old male top-down model of mentorship no longer works and how you can use a new model of mentoring to get the insight, advice, and skills you need to succeed.
