Do you feel like you’re one failed launch away from your business not surviving?

 

Sadly, so many women’s businesses are in ‘entrepreneurial poverty’. What does that mean exactly?

• Financial poverty: Some businesses are simply not bringing in enough income to support the women who run them. Even if a business is bringing in $50k, the owner may only be taking home $20 – $30k a year, which is not enough to sustain a family or future on.
• Time and energy poverty: Time and energy poverty go together in the sense that the more time you spend on your business, trying to get it off the ground, the more depleted your energy becomes.

 

The keys to overcoming entrepreneurial poverty?

 

That’s exactly what we’re covering in today’s episode! You’ll learn how to plan for your business to be an asset that creates consistent income–not something that you simply just operate and bootstrap.

 

My guest today, Racheal Cook, is an award-winning business strategist, host of the Promote Yourself to CEO podcast, and best-selling author who is on a mission to end entrepreneurial poverty for women. Over the last 10 years she has helped thousands of female entrepreneurs design predictably profitable businesses without the hustle and burnout that doing #allthethings inevitably accomplishes.

 

In fact, Racheal is a sought-after speaker on entrepreneurship, marketing, and productivity and has been featured by the US Chamber of Commerce, Forbes Coaching Council, Female Entrepreneur Association, and more. Her real passion, though, is supporting savvy, soulful women as they implement the strategy, systems, and support to uncomplicate their business so they can work less and live more.

 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

 

• Why women aren’t making nearly as much money as men
• How to avoid burnout and build up your energy reserves
• The red flag to look for in your business that’s blunting your growth
• What you need to know about team building and avoiding common mistakes
• What to do if you don’t have any extra money to hire support
