My friend and I are opening up a naturally built spa & wellness area. Speakeasy NYE style meets the secret garden. We are both single moms who’ve lived in survival mode are whole life’s. We just want to do what we love, be with our kids, and adventure. We are not looking to get rich but upper middle class enough to invest back into our community in a decent way. Any folks out there who run business’ as a way to invest in building their beautiful slow/mundane life? I do not work well in the man’s world. It goes against my intuition. Though I haven’t found a good road map to any other options. Thanks in advanced! xx
My local chamber of commerce has a “women in business” group. If you can find something like that near you, you will probably find a lot of value in it. When I go to regular chamber events it seems like about half of the people there are women. Maybe I’m a bit biased, but I really don’t see it as a man’s world in that sense. There are many examples of women in my circle that have built their own business and have succeeded.
Some of my clients are women-owned businesses or franchises. I always thought that “business” itself expanded the scope of any type of gender-specific emotions or prejudices. Business is business and it’s impartial. If you’re a man leaning on the wrong values, you’re probably going to fail in most of your business partnerships. The same goes for women. It’s great to look deep inside yourself and try to escape your mundane life. But to be a successful business owner, you have to do what’s best for the business. Gender often doesn’t even become a topic or an underlying factor
