In the mood for some snap stories? Here are some from my never-ending treasure trove of real-life tales:
My pal had a brilliant cook.
Had.
She lost her.
To Enterprise.
We now have a brilliant farsaan supplier available online.
A journalist lost her job.
Knew nothing beyond writing.
Apart from loving/playing/being with dogs.
Now runs one of the best pet food and wellness companies.
The banker who started her own beauty ecomm set-up.
The one who is now counted among the world’s top 10 self-made women billionaires.
A nani who took her culinary skills to the next level at the ripe age of 94 and turned coveted entrepreneur.
You may know some of these women. May not know most of them.
But that spirit of enterprise. We know that thing! It is sometimes spelled as G-U-T-S too.
Because as women we know that quite often the lack of entrepreneurial pursuit is nothing but the lack of family support, that child at home, the late hours, the oblique references, the gentleman’s club, the sexism of investors, the comfort of a corporate job, the patriarchal approach of institutions, the fear of failure, the I-told-you-so of the world.
At Her Circle, we stand behind every woman who wants to do stuff on her own steam. In fact, we have lined up 30 days of this month to celebrate April by highlighting women-owned businesses, big and small. Meet one new woman entrepreneur every day. Or you can go a step ahead and buy from her, support her on social media, give her business!
