The Challanges and opportunities of beeing a women entrepreneur

I do not want to take the hopes out of all of you thinking you want to start up something, continue with your dream but try to be realistic. You need to consider the following actions to get you pass the roadblocks that will try to hinder your dream.

1.Sell, sell and sell. First of all get clients/customers to your idea. Never forget to sell and learn from the best. Who do you admire, observe them. Take an online course in selling or read books and go out and try it. Remember that a no is the second best thing to yes. Remember good sellers have 2 ears and one mouth.
2. Get an office, do not think that beeing an entrepreneur from home is a great idea. Office space is available from excisting networks, also funded by government funding or investment fund. An Office enhances yourself impression that you are a business women and fills your calender with a mandatory task.  Then consider carefully what kind of office-space you are looking for. Should it offer access to money, market, advisors? How about commuting distance? And finally do also have an office-space at home offering you the flexibility.
3.Build a brand. In todays business climate, a brand is everything. Abrand is a name with a visual expression (colors and fonts), and you must protect your brand both by legal ways but also by using it in your signature, presentations and through this leaving traces.
4.Get mentors and advisors from the start. You should always register your company as a real company, and this gives you tools to put together a formal network of advisors to your company. You need people to the board, and ask the best, most will accept sharing your sucess through small owner stakes as their fee. Also requesting mentorship from people you admire is often returned postive if you ask for an advice over lunch.
5. Get a role in networks. All industries have their networks and they are looking for women. Do not wait to be asked, offer yourself as an available resource with capabilities.
6. Keep your household in your company tidy, and buy help for this. Your accountant is also your best advisor.
