Entrepreneurship has often been viewed as a male-dominated field, but women have become increasingly successful in the business world, breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes. In recent years, there has been a surge in the number of women-owned businesses. In this podcast, Episode Six of The Passionate Pioneer, Mia discusses her personal journey to becoming a successful female entrepreneur, as well as the barriers she had to navigate through and overcome. This podcast highlights the unique traits held by successful female entrepreneurs. For example, their ability to network, to seek out mentors and advisors who can provide guidance and support, and their ability to leverage their networks to find new opportunities and collaborations. Another important trait is their willingness to take risks and persevere in the face of failure - overcoming the fear and negative self talk that women tend to have. Mia talks about a fear of failure, and says that feeling like she may not have what it takes was something that she had to silence and overcome. Mia also talks about the process she went through when figuring out what business to start and the steps she took to find support to start her business. It is very inspiring to hear what inspired Mia to want to start her own business and the obstacles she faced and overcame on her journey. There is a need for women to continue to empower and support other women who may feel like they can’t succeed in a male dominated society and this podcast successfully demonstrates an example of that happening.
