{"product_id":"2940150880979","title":"The Confidence Factor for Women in Business","description":"As a business consultant, I work with women who remain in doubt when it comes to their success. Women are starting businesses at a rapid rate, but lack the confidence to ask for money and mentorship. For many women, comfort plays a key role in the way they  approach mentorship. Within my own business consultancy, I connect with women who are terrified of taking risks in order to achieve large returns. The major resistance I encounter with my clients is the ability to form profitable partnerships based on performance and not relationships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo what is the Confidence Factor? Well, women are now leaving the workplace and stepping into the small business market to build a name for themselves. According to a recent study I read on the BB\u0026amp;T Wealth Management blog, women have more interruptions in life than men; pregnancy, parental caregiver and underemployment. I am not speculating, but this may be a contributing factor why women have a longer journey in business. I believe women can truly build empires but it starts with one confident decision at a time. We need to stop second guessing and depending on validation from others in order to get into rooms with key decision makers that can impact the growth of our businesses. As long as women continue to be the victim of \"coupon cutting\" to save for business, it will be difficult to change the glass ceiling history that seems to plague us when we are approaching profitable  partnerships. It is time for women to embrace change with confidence. There are doors that open when you are confident, while others close due to fear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are core conversations for women who desire more success in business.
