The Truth About Being a Female Business Owner

There are a lot of myths that circle around about what it means to be a business owner. The myths become even more ridiculous when you add the word female in front of it all. 

Let’s explore some of these myths, shall we? 

1. Female business owners have to choose either their business or their family. Myth! I know plenty of female business owners, myself included, that can have both an amazingly fulfilling career and a wonderful family as well as supportive partners. 
2. Female business owners will never reach the same success levels as men. MYTH! While our road might have a few extra challenges along the way there is nothing capping your success to less than that of any man in business. The real trick with this one is learning to do things differently. A lot of the business “how to’s” were created by men and this year I really want to challenge what your business looks like to you. 
3. In order to reach success in business women must hustle 24/7 and never take breathing room. THE WORST MYTH! 

Why is this myth the worst? 

Because being 100% in your business all the time is actually how you plateau your business. It’s how you begin resenting everything you’ve worked for and it turns your business into shackles around your ankles.

So what is the reality of being a female business owner?

Well… I’ll use my recent Inner Circle planning day to explain. 

The Inner Circle isn't a room of women who soundboard each other. Instead, it's a room filled with business-sparring partners, people who will challenge your ideas so both of you can grow and improve. The end result is a day of reflection, planning and inspiration that can be taken back to their teams to bring fire to the new year. It's also a day of celebration for my clients and their partners because as I mentioned above, they are absolutely killing it not only in business but in life as well. 

This is the reality of being a female business owner. 

And if it’s not your reality right now, it can be.

All you need to start doing is calling the myths out for the BS that they are and find the right support network that is going to embrace the highs and lows of running a business with you and in your way.

And if you need someone to help you see the truth from the traps then I would be happy to lift the fog for you.
