When launching a service, not getting caught up in perfectionism is vital for success. Kathrin Folkendt is the CEO of Femtech Insider, where she is a leader and advocate in the women's health space. When you are first starting up any business, it is so common to let yourself get in your own way, so you need to overcome that drive for perfectionism and allow yourself to not be the expert. Once you have an idea for your service in place, launch fast, find your allies, and ignore the pessimists. Building your audience is crucial, and you must allow your audience to be your teachers, and reach out to them to get constant feedback so you can continue to improve your product. Don't succumb to imposter syndrome, just follow your vision, trust your gut, and learn as you go!

Notes:
👩 Kathrin is the CEO of Femtech Insider - an online publication about women's health and technology: she stumbled into this space when she was diagnosed with PCOS in her 30s. 01:56
📧 Femtech Insider started is a newsletter for the investment community and women's health startups - they speak to anyone interested in making a difference for women on a global level: we're in this together, driven by our joint mission to bring change to women's health. 06:20
🤝 Femtech Insider is now a traditional media company with advertising, sponsorships, newsletters, and guest posts: they also have a premium membership. 13:13
💜 Kathrin gets invites to sit on the advisory board for a bunch of VC funds and conferences in the women's health space: people tend to speak to her rather than a VC because she's not as threatening as VC, and there's a power difference. 16:21
📢 We need more education and to talk more openly about women's health because it's still very stigmatized: Kathrin had issues with what people may think when they Google her name. 18:51
🗝️ If you want to start some type of information property, launch fast, build an audience, and don't listen to the naysayers: if you're building a media property, distribution and reach are key. 23:31
💎 "Document, not create" is Gary Vee's expression that gave Kathrin permission to not be an expert and still talk about her passion. 30:33

Market research and customer feedback could be the ticket to scaling your businesses beyond the $1 million mark. Without gathering insights from the market and listening to customer feedback, you are effectively running your business on guesswork, which is very costly. Researching the market gives your business and vision an informed direction to steer towards, and developing solutions based on customer feedback builds trust and loyalty. Once you have researched and utilized feedback, use your intuition to create a strategic, but flexible, business plan, so you can test, learn and iterate your way to success. With the right business strategy, you can tap into your unique strengths and flourish as a powerful and influential leader in the business world.

This week's challenge: Speak with 10 potential customers and ask them open-ended questions about their pain points and frustrations. Use #sugarcoatedfeedback to share your surprising insights with SheLeadsMedia on Instagram!

Show notes:
💲 Women in businesses have a difficult time scaling past the $1 million mark - only 4.2% of all women-owned firms have revenues over a million dollars or more: in order to achieve a million dollars, you must understand your customers. 01:11
📊 Market research is about gathering information to make informed decisions: when we start talking to customers, the journey never ends because customer preferences are always changing. 04:44
👂 Your customers are your best critics and allies: there's no better way to earn trust among your customers than by listening to them. 08:26
🎁 If we take feedback and don't do anything with it, it's like a wrapped gift that's never opened: when market research and customer feedback join forces, magic happens. 10:43
👔 Harness the power of community and relationships for market research and use your data: put strategic plans in place and move forward with certainty, but leave room for flexibility. 13:05
❣️ Sometimes we're afraid to be vulnerable, try a new idea or change direction: Adrienne challenges you to go out there this week and ask 10 customers open-ended questions. 16:26

Podcasting is an excellent platform for women to grow their businesses, their network, and their brand. Starting a podcast offers a unique and intimate medium for women to create authentic connections while sharing their expertise and cultivating a growing network and audience. Making guest appearances on other podcasts is also extremely beneficial in that it allows you to gain exposure to a wider audience, build credibility and establish lucrative relationships. Not only can a podcast increase the revenue of your business, but it allows you to share the female perspective and empower other women with stories and knowledge that can change lives. Elevate your business, spread your message, and lift other women up with your passionate voice!

Notes
🎙️ Podcasting fosters authentic connections with your audience: there is no other medium that's as intimate as podcasting. 02:19
👍 Adrienne shares how to be the best guest possible on other people's podcasts: after your appearance, don't forget to review the podcast on Apple and other platforms. 04:21
📣 Once the episode is available for listeners, be sure to promote your appearance: repurpose that content to maximize exposure - Why would you go on a show to gain visibility and then do nothing with it? 09:35
🤝 Being strategic and genuine in your interactions with podcast hosts and their audiences can lead to a mutually beneficial relationship that goes beyond a single episode appearance. 11:41
✅ Women-led podcasts have been proven to generate more revenue when compared to their male-led counterparts: Adrienne shares examples of women who grew more successful through their awesome podcasts. 13:48
❣️ To become a podcast host, you don't need a massive budget or professional studio, you only need strategy, passion, and your unique point of view 17:00

AI is a revolutionary tool that has the power to help women overcome adversity. We need to start experimenting with AI so that we can leverage it for our success. Women must be at the forefront of the AI revolution so that our needs are built into these models and the platforms remain equitable and inclusive. With so many tools and resources available to help us increase our productivity, it is crucial that we use AI as a partner in education so we do not risk getting left behind. Harness the power of increased efficiency, unbiased access to information, and grow your business and influence along with the wake of AI.

Show notes:
🔪 AI, like a knife, can be used for good or evil, based on the intent behind it: it's important to have governance over AI, so it's not used for malicious purposes 03:24
👩‍💼 Women entrepreneurs and leaders must learn AI capabilities to leverage them and not get left behind: AI is a revolutionary force that can help women entrepreneurs break barriers, scale their businesses, and shape a more inclusive future. 04:50
✅ ChatGPT can be a partner in education because it has access to a wealth of information: there are hundreds of AI tools that can do so many different things, in so many niches. 08:10
👉 One of the barriers women face is a feeling that we must do it all: AI can help you be much more productive. 11:02
📈 AI is accessible to everyone, and it's evolving every single day: play with it to push your comfort zone, get better in your business, and not get left behind. 13:19
🤝 AI can help with hiring people in your company: it can also be used to match people for networking purposes. 16:23
💠 Some platforms connect women entrepreneurs and leaders with investors, mentors, and support networks like Alice, She Works, Elpha, Founder To Be, and CrunchBase. 21:19
❤️ Share your thoughts, questions, or success stories about implementing AI in your business. 25:26

We all need to clear our plates a little bit. We're all taking on more than we can handle, and the older we get, the harder it gets. It's important to remember that you don't need to tick every box on the checklist to live in joy and be your best self. No matter how much you have on your plate, even if it's things you love, you have nothing to prove, so don't overdo it. You are not alone in feeling overwhelmed!

🎙️ Adrienne will create a solo series over the next couple of weeks: today's topic is 'Overwhelm.' 01:02
✅ Increasing responsibilities and changes caused Adrienne to have too much on her plate: you don't need to do all the things to be a fully self-actualized and happy, joyful person. 02:36
💞 Adrienne shares all the work she does and loves. 07:27
🐶 Besides her rich professional life, Adrienne helps her husband with his business and is a mom of 2 kids and a dog. 15:48
⏺️ You can use voicemail on the podcast website to send your questions and topics to Adrienne: one of the topics will be AI. 17:21

Podcasts are an excellent way to gain representation in your niche. Alice Draper is the founder and CEO of Hustling Writers and shares her passion for making publicity easier and more accessible for underrepresented entrepreneurs. In the digital era of media, podcasts are an important platform that can give you a body of work to help legitimize you and your business. When searching for podcasts to pitch to, it’s a good strategy to find people you respect in your industry and see what shows they have been a part of. Don’t discount your gut feeling, pick a podcast host that aligns with your values, and that you can see yourself building a personal relationship with. Pitch your power, elevate your brand and become an authority in your industry!

🌼 Alice is the founder and CEO of Hustling Writers: her business is on a mission to make publicity easy and accessible for under-recognized entrepreneurs. 02:34
📣 Underserved people, including women, should have a voice in the media: the positive side of this era of media is that people are more comfortable being themselves because they can see people like them being represented more often. 05:50
🇿🇦 Alice was born in post-apartheid South Africa: she resides between Dubai and South Africa. 08:49
📊 With podcasting, anyone can be a journalist: there are a disproportionate amount of female hosts in the world of podcasting. 12:41
✅ To be a guest on the right podcast, gather a list of people you respect, who are ahead of you in your industry, and who speak to a similar audience. 18:23
⭐ The biggest part of your pitch is the personal story - that's your make or break: Alice shares how to write a good story hook. 21:49
❤️ The corporate world tells us to ignore our gut: decision-making with the gut is easier for women - what's more emotional than trusting your gut? 27:23
🎙️ The fun of podcasting is the relationship building and meeting new people: podcasting is a foolproof method of figuring out if a person is someone you want to build a relationship with. 33:22
👍 We shouldn't be looking at the guesting strategy as a one-time transactional thing: even pitching the podcast host can be a good strategy if done elegantly. 37:59
🎯 It's not just about building the relationship with the podcast host, but also the host's audience: the magic happens after the show through relationships, so look at it as an investment. 40:26

A positive mindset is the most important part of a successful business. Dorothy Illson is a digital marketing and data expert who shares her journey through finding her self-worth and accepting her success. The number one most important aspect of running a business is being able to have a positive mindset and truly believing you are worthy of success. In order to properly manage a business, you need to reflect on spendings and data, and these superficial problems will be impossible to tackle without the right mindset. Data tells the story of your business and offers insight, and we need to step back and analyze it with a logical business mindset, rather than an emotional reaction that is driven by negativity. Take some time to self-reflect, and find the positive mindset that you need to drive your business forward with success!

🌸 Dorothy is the founder of Needle's Eye Media and co-founder of The Gig. 02:12
💪 Do what needs to be done to move forward while building that muscle of resilience: Dorothy chose to freelance because it gives autonomy, flexibility, and remote work. 04:47
✅ Changes in the market don't tend to hit all market sectors equally: freelance is great in those situations because you don't have to change what you do, just who you do it for. 08:50
🎯 Approach conversations in business from the standpoint of problem-solving and value exchange: the biggest mindset hurdle that Dorothy fell into was feeling like she didn't deserve the success. 10:35
😓 You can make more money than you can imagine and still be in debt: you can have so much confidence in what you do, the services you provide, but have no confidence in yourself as a person. 17:40
❤️ If you strip away everything you do for other people and work, who are you?: all of that could go away tomorrow, but you would still have value to offer to the world. 20:23
🪞 Close friends can help you define who you are & journaling and reflecting can help you think about who you want to be. 23:14
📊 Data-driven businesses should not be led on emotions: the numbers tell you what to do - you can read the story that data tell you. 27:49
😎 Once you know where your leaks are in the funnel, you can work to plug those leaks: take a step back to approach things from more of a business mind and a logical perspective. 30:11
📧 Needle's Eye Media focuses primarily on digital product businesses and does a lot of webinar funnels: The Gig is an email newsletter that teaches you how to find clients, work with clients, work for yourself, and build a successful freelancing business. 34:05
🌷 Subscribe to The Gig to get The high-income skills guide. 36:55

Honoring yourself with love and respect is the best way to reach your goals in the business world. Alexandra Navarro is a successful C-suite Latin American woman with a mission to help underrepresented women gain more opportunities in life. Navigating and advancing in the technology industry, and the business world at large, is difficult for women, especially Latin American women. One of the things that may be holding us back is a lack of love for ourselves and a fear of moving forward through all the hurdles in front of us. We must realize our visions and inspirations and honor them, so we can overcome our fears, take action and move forward with our dreams. Recognize your gifts, learn to value yourself, and the world will open up to you!

👩 Alexandra is a Latin American woman in tech and non-profit: unhappiness inspired her to learn about herself, find life balance, and write a book about her journey. 02:46
👩‍💻 Many women, especially Latina women, only get into entry-level technology jobs, 13% get an opportunity for a next-level position, and 56% have the most ridiculous salaries. 07:04
🌉 Alexandra was a passionate and positive kid: she dreamed about the bridge between Latin America and the US and found her life mission in that area. 11:00
🎾 Fear and challenges are just hurdles that make Alexandra a better player in life. 15:09
💃 Find inspiration and love yourself: Take on the role of your own big sister and protect yourself. 19:19
🌎 When you change yourself, the world starts to open up to you: Alexandra promotes men, but first checks are women taken care of. 23:55
😞 Women need to constantly prove something, so they end up doing work and moving forward with things that are either not acknowledged for or not paid for. 29:14
❗ Put yourself out and be able to speak - don't let anyone scream at you: we have a responsibility for the next generation. 30:47
💱 Blockchain can help underserved communities: it helps decentralize the financial world, the technology world, databases, and even votes. 36:58

Confidence is crucial in both business and life.

Vicky and Charisse are the founders of Dapper Boi, a clothing company that helps people feel comfortable in their own skin. Having confidence in yourself and your brand is essential for growing your customer base and funding. If you truly believe in yourself and your mission, you don't need to be a million-dollar brand to land investors and loyal customers. When you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin, you can show up as your authentic self in all facets of life and business. Dedicate yourself to your mission and values and take your entrepreneurial journey with confident strides!

👕 It all started when Vicky chopped off her hair and decided to come out and find her authentic self: she loved shopping in the men's department, but none of the clothes fit her. 02:05
👪 It's so beautiful to see parents supporting their children in their fashion expression. 05:38
❤️ Before entrepreneurship, Vicky was in casino marketing for a long time & Charisse was heavy in sales: they partnered with everything - family, home, and business. 09:06
🏡 Be confident that you are of value and align with investors who truly believe in you and your mission: Vicky & Charisse had weekly product launches in 2021, but it all stopped during the pandemic. 14:22
👖 A story of how Dapper Boi, and the values they represent, saved a life. 20:51
❤️ The right investor was the easiest to communicate with: customers regained faith - transparency saved the customer base. 26:41
✅ The brand is not lesbian, it’s mainstream: it's about fit and feeling competence in yourself. 28:57
📺 Vicky & Charisse shared their experience on Shark Tank: it aired on April 14th - go check it out!

Finding the right cofounder is the recipe for a successful business. Henley Vazquez is the cofounder of FORA and shares her wisdom on finding the right partners to grow the business of your dreams. If you are thinking about starting your business, trying to decide if you need a co-founder, and who the right person is for the job, it can be a difficult task. You have to find people that have different specialties and views, and somebody that you are comfortable arguing and being honest with because a good co-founder relationship is similar to a marriage. The right fit will be so much more than somebody who is simply qualified and wants to take on the role, so you have to learn to trust your gut. If you don’t want to get caught in the echo chamber of solopreneuring, consider seeking a cofounder for your business!

🌎 Henley is a co-founder of FORA, an incredible travel business that has revolutionized the travel industry: her whole career has been in the travel sector. 02:16
👩‍💼 The list to become a FORA advisor is 1000s of people long: it's a very female-forward industry. 05:44
⏸️ The pandemic forced Henley to take a step back and evaluate her business: take a power pause and think about what you really love. 10:48
🗝️ Having the right co-founders is the key to having a successful business and happy life. 14:06
🤝 A mediator can help build empathy between company founders. 19:46
❗ Some businesses don't need money: follow your instincts on how to run your business but spend the money carefully. 24:53
💵 The right investor is ready to jump in and offer support: find somebody who understands the industry and the business you're building and trusts you to do the work. 28:44
👉 Your investors are not your bosses: they have seen more businesses than you, but it doesn't mean you do everything they tell you to - you are the expert in your domain. 30:54
🌹 FORA continues to support their community by making advisor jobs easier: planning travel is hard, and Fora wants to help people organize and execute those plans in a better way than what's currently available in the industry. 33:45

💵 By buying a business, you have an automatic revenue stream, and a paycheck which is rarely the case with startups.15:30

💰 How do you purchase a business without having full finances to cover the purchase? 18:58

🤩Jill’s company focuses on the four critical C's of all company life, which is culture, communication, conflict and change. 2:33

🚦 Like every other entrepreneur, for years, Jill wanted to start her own business, but stopped herself on several occasions. 4:01

🤯 Jill observes the exact same issues across multiple industries. That’s why she focuses on opportunities to solve people’s problems. 5:20

🛑 People are oftentimes fearful in their workplaces, because of company culture, limited feedback mechanisms, which leads to workers shutting down communications completely. 7:46

💃 Jill’s 3C’s model of sharing feedback with Candor, Courage, and Care is bringing back personal authenticity to work lives and helps both productivity and stress reduction. 11:28

🫂 The 3C’s model is not good only for work but it highly improves all relationships because it is all about people. 14:00

✌️ HR Assemble is company agnostic, but focus on choosing to work with leaders that have the right mindset. 16:18

🙋‍♀️ We need a more humane corporate world and innovative leaders who recognize this. 18:16

🙃 It's not always easy to explain to a group of cross functional partners or a leadership team that everything's going to be done in a different way. 20:26

🌸 At the end of day, culture is how we live and what we choose to do. Every business owner should define it from the start of creating a business or it will define itself. 24:57

Notes
🔥 Adrienne boldly reached out to Antonia after reading her Swaay article about women who do not support other women. 1:03
🧱 Antonia is an Experience Collector. Her choices in life and career were centered around having incredible experiences and building something new. 2:46
📣 We need to talk about hypocrisy: Women are being disloyal to other women, but it’s not often spoken about. 9:07
😡 What to do when you experience a ‘mean girl from highschool’ comment? 10:54
☝️ Having systemic support and practicing diplomatic responses to inappropriate comments at work is essential. 14:52
🤯 The reactions to Antonia’s article were huge, but all reactions were sent in private messages, as this is still taboo. 16:58
🙈 Women focus on talking about men holding them down, but do not apply the same standard to other women. 21:06
😇 Concept of kindness and custodianship vs the concept of the power of a pronoun. 25:11
⚖️ These days leaders have to be able to adapt to new concepts: bias for action, and balance towards thoughtfulness. 28:07
👱‍♀️ Learn from the youth, open up your social circle and let people inspire you by who they are. 32:52
