THE 1.7% - WHY MOST WOMEN NEVER BREAK 7 FIGURES
Here's a stat that should make you angry: only 1.7% of female-owned businesses ever reach 7 figures annually, while men reach about 6.2%. This isn't about capability or work ethic—women are brilliant and work harder than most men. So what's the gap? It's capacity. Not time management or productivity hacks, but your ability to hold more: more revenue, responsibility, visibility, and success.
This episode breaks down what capacity actually means (internal + external), why you can't out-strategy your nervous system, my journey from the Netherlands coffee chain to fractional COO, money stories that keep us stuck, and the 5 steps to expand your capacity.
Your business will only grow to the level you can hold. Let's change that 1.7% to 7.1%.
