Female entrepreneurs and leaders⦠Iâm calling us out.ð£ï¸ In the last 6 months, after selling my company SimplyBe. Agency | Personal Branding, Iâve talked to a LOT of female business owners and execs. 9 out of 10 of the women I talk to are at a point of breaking. ð They are swimming in 80-hour work weeks. ð They arenât making enough money. ð They are on too many airplanes and away from their families. ð They are trading their time for dollars. ð They don't have the right team and aren't fully supported. ð They are shook by the state of the world. ð They are considering shutting their businesses down. ð They are just. so. brutally. tired. Whatâs WILD to me is just how many women feel like theyâre "the only ones." Youâre not. ð¶ 42% of women entrepreneurs report experiencing burnout. ð¶ 45.3% of women report experiencing feelings of loneliness. ð¶ 52% of female entrepreneurs report experiencing mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. ð¶ 44% of women-owned businesses reported unprofitability, particularly during their initial years. This is real. I too, am here to say that youâre not alone. Iâm here to SHOW you that you are not alone. Iâm here to invite you into a gathering of women TOMORROW, Wednesday, July 24 at 11am CT, hosted by Charlie Saffro and I, so that you can stop having these conversations behind closed doors, and finally feel fully supported, seen and held in your journey....and open up a whole new perspective of possibilities. Get ready for a brutally honest discussion AND a deeper look at a new {completely possible} way of being a woman in business. One that takes us from burnt-out...to burning bright. Join Charlie and I this Wednesday at 11am CTâwe have over 200 women registered!âand we'd love to have you join us. REGISTRATION link is in the COMMENTS below. ð #leadership #feminineleadership #empoweredleadership
I am very passionate about this topic Jessica Zweig As a female entrepreneur (ex corporate) who chose to grow my babies while growing a company and PROVE I could do it differentky - Iâm proud to say I built a 400 employee, fully remote, digital first company - while being âMum firstâ and working 20 hours per week mostly. It takes a willingness to fight for it, be ruthless with your time and systemise constantly for the highest ROI delegation possible. Of course Iâve had sleepless nights and all that but often thatâs young kids & life plus the heightened anxiety scaling any business brings. But on the whole I have a good story that Iâm starting to realise needs to be told. Love to talk about my experience of it all if you are ever open. PS loved your interview today with Adam Robinson ð
Thank you for addressing such a crucial issue. The psychological toll on female entrepreneurs is often overlooked. Perhaps focusing on building resilience and creating networks can offer additional sustainable support. Implementing mental health resources within these groups could also make a significant difference. Looking forward to the discussion.
Itâs sad to see these conversations behind closed doors because of RETALIATION. . . Cultures of perfectionism and lack of psychological safety have people fearful for their jobs if they donât lie and tell management what they want to hear. We can make better decisions if people all drive to the same goals and allow failure to be part of the process, not 3 strikes youâre out!! Looking forward to this Jessica Zweig & Charlie Saffro !!
Love this Jessica Zweig! And also why I'm excited to be part of your Radiance Realm! Surrounding yourself with others who are on a similar journey makes it feel not only less lonely...but dare I say, Fun?? ð
Just listening to you hear on podcast 795 with Jenna Kutcher 'the secret to staying in Alignment as you evolve and change'. Glad to see you've sold the business align with your spirituality. I am all about spirituality and how important it is for AI Alignment. Great conversation ð Jessica Zweig Connection sent and following
I just had a similar conversation with a couple women over the weekend. It's time to change things; women feel they need to do it all themselves...even when they don't understand it all. Let's keep spreading the word!
Iâm sorry I missed this Jessica and Iâve no doubt it was amazing! Itâs a landscape that desperately needs changing and one of the reasons I left private equity 10+ yrs ago and started my own biz. Keep the fire burning ð¥ and feel free to ask for added help - Iâm here! ð¤©
Great post, l have experienced burnout and we need to address the epidemic now. Wish l could have been at this discussion!
