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

Learning from the experience of other business women

4. Find what you truly love.

“Find something that you really love. Focus on finding and building relationships with a community of people who love it too. Don’t be afraid to follow the path not yet taken. Pick yourself up when you fall. Pick yourself up when you fall again and again and again …”

– Nancy Traversy, Co-Founder & CEO, Barefoot Books, @barefootbooks

5. Break the glass.

“[Understand that] you do not need a male co-founder to grow your business. The more female founders breaking through the glass ceiling, the faster venture capitalists and angel investors will invest in female entrepreneurs. It’s up to women to bang to the beat of their own startup drum, for that natural shift towards a more balanced entrepreneurial ratio.”

- Heddi Cundle, Big Cheese, myTab Inc., @mytab

6. Leave ‘perfect’ behind.

“Don’t be afraid, let go of doing everything perfect the first time and focus on the customer!”

- Reka Barabas, Director, Bad Girl Ventures Cleveland, @BGV_Cleveland

7. Create value instead of discounts.

“Giving discounts to get a client will always, in some way, bite you in the butt. Giving more than the client expected will always, even in a small way, [will] pay off in the long run.”

- Lauren Milligan, Resume Expert/Job Search Coach, ResuMAYDAY, @ResuMAYDAY

8. Practice the 3 Cs.

“Connections, consistency and communication are [three things that] have helped me … We do business differently than men, we think that we can do everything and we want to be successful. To reach those goals we have to make meaningful connections through networking.

- Teana McDonald, President, 3E Connections, Inc., @3EConnections
