#8 - Kick Butt, Knock Down Doors, and Stand Up for Yourself

Resolution # 8 - Kick Butt, Knock Down Doors, and Stand Up For Yourself

An Excerpt from THE MOMMY MANIFESTO

Women own 48% of all businesses, but only receive 4% of all private equity to start and grow those businesses each year. So what’s stopping us? 

What’s stopping us from raising private equity to start and grow our record number of businesses? What’s stopping us after we raise start-up capital from taking our companies to over a million dollars in revenues a year?

Is it just going to take more women to have faith? Do we just need a dream? A hero? A vision? Or is it a simple matter of confidence?

Do we need to turn off the internal dialog telling us we can’t do it and believe in ourselves instead? What is the internal dialog in women’s heads nowadays anyway, and who’s programming it?

Maybe we need to replace “lose weight, be pretty, lose weight, be pretty, lose weight,” with “kick butt, knock down doors, stand up for ourselves, be smart, and take what’s ours.”

Maybe we should figure out what we need to do to get our fair share and program that in instead.
