I have known Rebecca Dutcher for longer than I care to admit and when she applied for the last Women’s Entrepreneurial Fellowship...I was PUMPED.
.
Look at her words. Read them.
This is the last year, the Fellowship will be covered by grant funding. The application deadline is September 15th.
If you don’t meet all the qualifications, apply for the Women’s Owners Network.
Both programs are for women-owned businesses and both were built by business owners for business owners and it’s everything I wish had been provided to me. It would’ve saved me a lot of time and money.

Our commitment to uncomfortable is why we started the Uncomfortable Community Conversations quarterly events to highlight issues affecting our businesses and community.
We’ve tackled the skills crisis, systemic bias towards WOSBs in our financial systems, and in September, we’re gonna talk perimenopause and the impact it has on business owners.
Our next convo on September 24, will focus on Perimenopause and how it’s impacting women business owners and professionals as we navigate brain fog, exhaustion, lose executive function and still the our responsibility, load and the expectations put on us remain the same. Something has to change.

Kirbay is one of my most favorite people. She is a business owner @preusspets, fellow ADHDer, animal lover and probably one of the best people I know. She is Big Deal Energy personified and I want everyone to see it.
Big Deal Energy is about finding the confidence to share your light with the world, and to know how f*cking special, spectacular and unique you are. Register for the Big Deal workshop on September 23. Link in my bio.
Your story matters.
Last week was full of networking, business owner hangs and red…apparently I wear a lot of red.
This is your reminder to build, invest and maintain your network. It matters.
The Women’s Entrepreneurial Fellowship is changing lives and you owe it to yourself to apply, make the time and invest in you.
This is about building what you want next with peers who understand where you are and those who have been there before.

It’s not about who you know, it’s about who knows you. Invest in your network, it’s your net worth and everything ties backs to it. Go to events, connect with people, follow-up, send a note, connect on LinkedIn.

Provide value. My network did not happen overnight, this was over 20 years in the making. Put in the work nothing good in life is handed to you.
