5 Characteristics of Successful Female Entrepreneurs

We continue to celebrate women this month. As a woman & a budding entrepreneur, my journey embodies the below characteristics. 

My vision, Ma’an – Intergenerational Planning, has grown with me and as I have with it. It’s a tool for entrepreneurs to secure their wealth for their generations to come. 

1. Ambition

There’s never a reason to be afraid or to shy from ambition. We are the quite literally change-makers, care takers and support systems in our own little worlds. As an entrepreneur, ambition drives our goals to success.

2. Organisation

Ambition is a great motivator to kick start your business, but is that enough? Over the years, I’ve come to realise that organisation as a skill plays an equally important role. Our lives are full and hectic, the only way to navigate through it successfully is to organise your priorities & execute accordingly.

3. Support System

A support system is a unique tool that builds confidence to strive fiercely ahead. The fine line between success and failure depends largely on a strong and dependable support that can be in the form of a business partnership, marriage/relationship, alliance, even right down to a dependable admin support and house help.

4.  Know your Strengths & Weaknesses

Knowing your strengths & weaknesses is an important feat for any entrepreneur. As you embark on this journey, it is extremely helpful to find the right people to help you amplify your strengths and overcome your weaknesses. 

5. Confidence

Confidence gives you the freedom to execute your dream. Second guessing or doubting yourself creates distrust & a lack of interest in the people around you. Confidence allows you to carry yourself with authority and a sense of knowing what you’re doing.
