Stay true to your concept

I think women face a major obstacle, no matter what their age, when they’re starting a new business: fear of criticism. Everyone faces criticism and skepticism when launching something new, but I think women tend to take criticism personally and have a built-in desire to please everyone. If you let critics sidetrack you and instill doubt about your business plan, you’ll spin your wheels and waste a lot of time. So my advice is to stay true to your concept in the face of whatever criticism you get. Use any skepticism or negativity about your ability to succeed as a challenge–prove them wrong!, says Stephanie King

Don’t assume you’ll make money right away.

Don’t assume you’ll make money right away

However, the first bit of sassy Sales Diva advice would be: Don’t assume that just because you’ve launched a business or website that you will make money right away. On average it takes 1 year for most businesses to gain traction. And so if you don’t have access to cash and resources to do proper build proper marketing materials, grow a community, and you’re sitting around waiting for the phone to ring or people to email you – your business will not last. Being under-capitalized is one of the greatest mistakes women in entrepreneurs make and it is a huge reason for why a business won’t last. Equally important is this. Just because you love a product/service doesn’t mean the rest of the world will. Before you quit your job and leap into the void – DO RESEARCH to see if there is a market and a DEMAND for what you sell. Create and sell what the market wants and needs and you’ll ALWAYS have enough money! So there. says Kim Duke

Prepare a Market Research.

Prepare a Market Research

Best Advice for Young Female Entrepreneurs, prepare!. Do your market research BEFORE you start your business – I learnt this one the hard way when first starting my business and being so keen and eager to follow my passion, I neglected to do the research and find out if it was what people wanted, or more importantly what people were willing to pay money for. This cost me many months and a lot of money in the early stages. It’s not enough to have a product or service that you’re passionate about, you have to be confident people are willing to pay money for it. That will take it out of the realm of being a ‘hobby’ and ensure you have a ‘business’ that will last the distance, says Fabe Keily

You are stronger than you believe.

014-You-are-stronger-than-you-believe How to cope if you have a newly established company?

You are stronger than you believe

I started my own PR boutique agency in 2005, perhaps like many other young entrepreneurs, to be independent, to enjoy working under my own terms. The beginning was hard – I knew very little about gaining clients, I was alone, and there were times when I wanted to give it all up, but somehow, I managed to keep on going, mainly because of my background as a military journalist. This is what helped me build a strong self discipline sense, and the will to go on, no matter what obstacles lie ahead. My advice to young female entrepreneurs: you are stronger than you believe. Keep fighting, believe in yourselves and keep working, but keep in mind that, when your work no longer makes you happy, you are in for a fall. And one last thing: no matter what you do, don’t lose your integrity. There are always ways to succeed without compromising who you are. Just take a step back, and look at things from a different perspective, and it will all work out just fine, says Mihaela Lica Butler

Trust yourself.

016-Trust-yourself Essential for women business owners

Trust yourself

The best advice I would give in starting out or for any entrepreneurs and business owners is trust yourself, especially for female business owners. Intuition and that gut feeling are NEVER wrong. If something feels to good to be true, doesn’t feel right, feels too expensive, feels like a bad deal, etc etc. BELIEVE IT all the time 100%, says Anastasia Valentine.

Start by not 'doing it all'.

013-Start-by-not-doing-it-all How achieve a satisfying and successful career?

Start by not 'doing it all'

Before thinking about 'having it all'. Company director and Nestle chairman Elizabeth Proust proudly doesn't cook – a fact she uses to demonstrate why women should strive to "not do it all". Sick of the "have it all" debate, she said we should get picky about the tasks that are really required and ask for help, pay for help, or get your partner to learn new domestic chores. It's advice she shared because, as plenty of us know, certain attitudes prevail in society that suggest women will manage the bulk of the domestic duties no matter how many hours she's putting in at work.
