Build Connections on LinkedIn
My biggest learning is that everything takes time. When we see success stories of entrepreneurs, it always look like they got to success very quickly. In reality it takes a long time and a lot of hard work to get to each milestone. Setting expectations correctly is so important because then you can celebrate the progress you've made instead of getting discouraged when that progress takes time.
Ashley Chang, Founder, Sundays
Share Experience, Surpass Yourself
Persevere and always stay focused on your goal. Sharing with entrepreneurs the exchange of experience enriches us and allows us to surpass ourselves.
Sarah AMRI, Founder, Allié RH
Gain Experience and Seek Mentors
I am very grateful that I had 15 years of corporate experience before I started my business. This allowed me to learn from many mentors. I learned how to sell, write proposals, follow up, build collateral material, develop strong client relationships etc. So, my advice would be to get some experience working for other people before you start your own business. Find a great business or mentor who has already done what you want to do and go learn from them. This will allow you to accelerate your learning and avoid many costly mistakes before you start your own venture.
Vanessa Judelman,Founder,Mosaic People Development
"Value of Mentorship"
I have been building and growing TAINA, I have been privileged to work with some phenomenal women and some very supportive men, learning so much from all of them on this journey. I believe that no-one succeeds alone; we all need support sometimes. My mentors and role modelss support has been hugely important for me, and has literally kept me going through the toughest times. I am honoured to be recognized amongst the amazing women leaders from across the industry who are making a real lasting impact in the FinTech space and hope the to empower and inspire the next generation of leaders."
Maria Scott, Founder, TAINA Technology
"Networking and Learning"
Always ask questions, keep networking, seize every opportunity to learn. Don't be afraid to be honest + ask for help, or to share knowledge + successes. Community over competition really is the way to grow.
Meghan Victoria, Founder, Sol Kyst
"Seek Guidance and Network"
Yes! I first ask these questions: What problem do you solve? What solutions do you offer and what are your revenue streams? People will pay someone else to solve their problems. Additionally, seek out accomplished women who are open to providing assistance. Success often leaves tangible hints—whether in literature (I'm an avid reader) or in the achievements of others (learning from their missteps). Entrepreneurship can be isolating, but it doesn't need to be. Immerse yourself in a supportive network of like-minded women at different stages of their journeys. Don't hesitate to seek guidance.

Network and Support Each Other
Women must support other women and lift them up. Get involved in everything that you can. You'll be amazed at the lifelong connections that you will make through networking and community involvement that will not only help you personally but will elevate you professionally.
Katie Gillberg, Founder, Hydrate IV Bar
Focus on Quality and Ethics
Be great at your work, have a great product. Networking is the key, and having great work ethics will always help you in the long run.
Jineesha Gandhi, Founder, ideeasaur
Build Supportive Networks
As a female entrepreneur, it's essential to selectively share your vision with women who are either experienced entrepreneurs or aspiring ones. Building a supportive network of like-minded individuals can greatly benefit your journey. Seek out mentorship opportunities, join women-focused business groups, and surround yourself with those who share your values and ambitions. Collaboration within the female entrepreneurial community can provide invaluable support, guidance, and insights to help propel you and your peers towards success.
Pamela Landreville, Founder, AfriCan Immigration & Education
Make the Call, Take the Chance
I am an avid supporter of women entrepreneurs. My best advice is to command your space and not let anyone tell you that you can't.
Linda Johansen-James, Founder, International Retail Group, LLC
Build a Support Network
Know your worth and don't hesitate to ask for what you want. Navigating the entrepreneurial landscape, particularly in raising funds, can be challenging, especially for women. Susan emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy, pursuing ambitions that push you out of your comfort zone, and not selling yourself short, regardless of the scale of your aspirations. Her journey from Silicon Valley to leading a successful international company underscores the power of resilience and self-belief in the entrepreneurial world.

Networking with Reciprocity
Keep at it, when you are down get up and try again. Networking is super important but done from a place of how you can help others. It will always come back to you in ways you cannot predict.
