12 Business Leaders Share Incredible Advice for Women Entrepreneurs (Third Part)

Understand your strengths and weaknesses

9. Drop your gender baggage.

“My best advice for women business owners is to always remember that the most important factor in determining success isn’t gender, it’s you. Know who you are, understand your strengths and weaknesses, and fearlessly go after what you want. Don’t spend your time worrying about gender

expectations or norms.”

- Anna Mongayt, Co-Founder, Upstart Networks, @upstart

10. Pace yourself.

“Starting a business takes time, even when you have a phenomenal idea. You need endurance to get through the peaks and valleys, so it’s critical to pace yourself and surround yourself with the right partners. And, remind yourself that you can break through any preconceived notions of the glass ceiling.”

- Lynn Perkins, CEO & Co-Founder, UrbanSitter, @urbansitter

11. Remember your ‘why’.

“Sometimes running your own business can be stressful and make you think, ‘Why did I do this again?’ During those times, take a few minutes to remember why you started your business in the first place. For me, it was setting a positive example for my daughter.”

- Brooke Borg, Founder & Attorney, Borg Law Group, @BorgLawGroup

12. Hustle hard.

“Owning a business isn’t for the weak and weary. You’ve got to be ready to work when things are going fabulous and terrible. Push forward through the storms and enjoy the sunny days.”

- Apryl Beverly, President, BAAB Writing and Marketing Services, @baabwriting
