If you wouldn't say it to someone you love, then don't say it to you. And wear perfume to webinars.

U.S Income Inequality grew through pandemic years, Fed survey shows
America’s top 10% controls 60% of the wealth. The bottom half hold 6%.

“Does this mean that we can’t really get into that top 10%???”

Day two of the Creative Finance Summit in Cincinnati was fantastic! The "How to Find Deals" panel was a real highlight, featuring Anita Johnson, Vena Jones-Cox, Damon Remy, and a very sharp woman whose name I unfortunately missed. It was impressive how open they were to answering any question thrown their way. 

I even got to ask them my go-to question: "If you were starting over today with only your current knowledge, what would be your first five steps?" Here’s what I gathered…

“Profit First” by Mike Michalowicz…

Ah, the eternal struggle of the entrepreneur! We launch with stars in our eyes and a fire in our belly, ready to change the world... or at least, ready to sell something to it. Then we hear statistics like 70% of businesses report struggling to gain leads. Seventy percent! That's like showing up to a party where 7 out of 10 people are standing awkwardly by the snack table, unsure how to start a conversation…

In contrast to yesterday’s post about taking yourself seriously, I have compiled some humor to release some endorphins!

“Being your own boss is great. You get to choose which 18 hours a day you work.”

As entrepreneurs, we often feel the pressure to "fake it till we make it". We might feel low energy, unfocused, and struggle to believe our goals are possible. In an effort to look like a "legit business owner," we avoid asking for help or verbalizing our struggles, isolating ourselves1 . However, a crucial step in building a thriving, profitable venture is to take yourself seriously.

As driven Women Entrepreneurs, we are constantly striving for more – greater impact, deeper fulfillment, and sustained success. In this exhilarating yet demanding journey, one truth stands unwavering: continuous learning is the fuel that ignites our progress and propels us beyond perceived limitations…

Imagine navigating a ship through a storm without a compass or any instruments. That's what running a business without diligently tracking your finances is like. You might have a great idea and a lot of passion, but without a clear understanding of your income, expenses, and cash flow, you're essentially sailing blind.

So, you've decided to ditch the soul-crushing commute and become your own boss? Congratulations! You've traded in water cooler gossip for existential dread and the comforting rhythm of a bi-weekly paycheck for the exhilarating rollercoaster of feast or famine. One minute you're a visionary, the next you're wondering if selling that slightly-used stapler on Facebook Marketplace counts as "diversifying revenue streams…”

It's understandable that when your business is booming and you're "up to your ears in work," the thought of actively seeking new clients might feel counterintuitive.
