Thriving as a Woman Founder: Insights from Paola Telfer
Build a circle of entrepreneurs with different levels of experience so you can informally coach and support each other. There are common threads in all our stories. I have a group I do this with, and it’s been invaluable. Test your ideas— new business ideas and ongoing big business decisions. Welcome critiques. It’s hard not to take things personally at first but you need to get used to it. It’s how you get great.
