Passion, Challenges, and Support

Understand Financial Literacy
The best advice I can give to women entrepreneurs write a business plan, ask for help from small banks and know your finances. Financial literacy is the most important thing for women entrepreneurs and there are so many programs available to help you bring your idea to reality. I’ve learned that women also never ask for enough money and make do with what we have and that can stall growth. If you have a good product/service don’t undervalue yourself or your product or service.
Mary Molina, Founder, Lola Snacks
Know Market and Build Relationships
Know your market, study your competitors, work out a solid strategy and revisit it often. Surround yourself with people that embrace your values and work ethics. Take care of your customers, strive to build long-time relationships with them and they will become your greatest advocates and source of referrals.
Margarete du Toit, Founder, PrimeLogic
Client Focus and Work Ethic
Aim high soaring, aim low boring. Envision in your head what you want to do. Who is your client. Focus on their pain points and ask questions to elicit their trust that you understand them. Work hard. Manage your expectations. Go for broke but know it might take a while, a process to get yourself out there. Write. Write. Write. That’s how my first clients found me - they related to what I wrote.

Say No to Misaligned Projects
First one will be: say no. If you have a dream and clear vision but you're starting, I see many times entrepreneurs struggling to say no to projects that don't align with their dream. If you do that, you'll be busy with things that don't belong to your business and you will damage the image of your organization. Making sure you know what you don't want is more important than knowing what you want.

She advises to start a business aligned with your values and interests, fostering sustained motivation amid challenges. Embrace a hands-on approach, gaining insights into all facets of your venture, and prioritize resilience for navigating setbacks. Understanding customer needs is paramount, as it ensures your products or services align with market demands. Build a robust network of mentors and peers, fostering collaboration and learning from shared experiences. Instead of viewing competitors as adversaries, see them as allies in promoting positive change within your industry. Consider the environmental and social impact of your business, as consumers increasingly value sustainability and ethical practices. Effective communication skills are crucial for conveying your brand's story, values, and offerings. Maintain a balanced approach, setting ambitious yet realistic goals, and celebrate small victories along the way. Remember, the entrepreneurial journey is a continuous learning experience.
