Women are generally more supportive of each other than men tend to be. They are less competitive and more collaborative.

Women make exceptional coaches and mentors and usually seek out their own coaches or mentors in order to level up.

70 Signs You Are A Fempreneur

Here are some of the top characteristics I’ve seen in women entrepreneurs.

Have a look at the list below.  Or a listen… here’s the podcast.

Do you identify with these 70 characteristics of women entrepreneurs?

Are You a Fempreneur?

Have we left any of your most powerful attributes off this list?  What’s the special magic you bring to fempreneurship?

Of course, while the above traits go a long way toward setting you up for success,
it’s important to note that you must turn these attributes into action.

That is, you need to find a way to harvest your skills so that you’re able to set yourself up for success when launching a business.

For example, if you’re a keen problem solver, you can use this to put together a
Business Continuity plan for your business. As described by Kenny Natiss, your
business continuity plan is a system you have in place for responding to
challenges that could otherwise derail your company.

Without this plan, you’d be forced to come up with a solution on the spot – wasting valuable time, money, and energy. Conversely, when you have a pre – established business continuity plan in place, you’ve got a list of instructions written out and ready to follow.

Your continuity plan could help you respond to things such as customer complaints, supply issues, and even data security breaches.
