Women Entrepreneurship Con
I had the really unique opportunity to co-host the first Women in Entrepreneurship Conference with blab in December. This is a replay of the live broadcast with Hannah Russell-Goodson, Espree Devora, Stephanie Burns, Natalie Eckdahl | BizChix, girltank, Women Who Startup, Alex Cameron, Zlata Sushchik, PinkThink, Holly Homer, and myself.
Enjoy!
And let me know any great topics really spoke to you.

Looking forward to meeting everyone today! =)

Natural Talent!
hi everyone! great topic. h/t to the panelists.
i’m a behavioral scientist and relationship blogger http://yourejustadumbass.com/
@Sherree_W – she is incredible!
@espree I’m SO with you! Especially this week 🙂
Hello everyone from sunny San Diego! I look forward to speaking to you about all things social media!
Feel free to ask me any social media questions in the meantime. I will answer them live!
I know how that feels!
@espree Really appreciate your honesty. It’s refreshing, thank you.
Support system – so key.
Hello HANNAH!
Hey @SandraCentorino 🙂
hello…
We need to set limits and stick to them.
So true @hannaherg ! Not 9-5, it’s 8-midnight
Try being married to someone who doesn’t “get” the entrepreneur world!
What’s a way that we can be more transparent Espree?
Yes @espree !!!
@Sherree_W YES are we married to the same guy?
@Sherree_W – that would be such a challenge!
That is a good point @LucyH_777.
@impact_podcast it is hard.
As an entrepreneur, you have to expect and to be ready to stand ALL by yourself…at some times…not all the time…but this is a big part…
@LucyH_777 Agreed!
Agreed @LucyH_777 – it can be a lonely road. Building community and joining groups that support you are great to lean on during those times.
@LucyH_777 I think Espree’s point is that you are not all by yourself. Your boyfriend, husband, sister, and friends may not get it. There are tons of us that do!
Amen @Gigi_Peterkin !!!
ha ha ha ha
hey there @JennyQ
as an entrepreneur for years, you need to find support where you can – and it won’t always come from your family – in a way we are misfits
@Gigi_Peterkin 🙂 How are you doing?
right on @JustNTransition
There are folks who want to be cheerleaders for you…may be tough to find them all.
@JennyQ keeping my head above water and figuring shit out. haven’t been on Blab in 4-eva. how are you, chica?
@Gigi_Peterkin lol About the same as you except I have been on Blab 🙂
@JustNTransition – yes…finally…as the web and community building tools evolve, like Blab, it gets less lonely… my point is that you can not expect external affirmation to make it happen…it never will. It must come form inside
@impact_podcast RIGHT?!?!
I hear you on that @JennyQ
Excellent job @espree
WomenWhoStartup.co
Sometimes I WISH i could not be an entrepreneur but I can’t think any other way… lol
@StephanieABurns has a great term for transitioning from competition to collaboration
I need to find that group…
@JennyQ I’m realizing I need to be here more – lots of good going on
Whining is “victim” thinking…get’s you no where
@Gigi_Peterkin Yes! Let’s blab 🙂
@espree PREACH!!!
Preach!
Here’s @StephanieABurns term: Collabatition (Combination of collaboration and competition) http://bit.ly/1XHENpE
Blab.Today
the red paper clip – it’s a great story
Blab.Today
biggest challenge for me is figuring this all out, which is an ENDLESS process, while making sure I’m taking care of my kids – sometimes it feels irresponsible to be an entrepreneur when you’re unsure where the next client is coming from and you have two kids to take care of. not a whine, just a truth.
@Gigi_Peterkin Yes! I agree! I’m a single mom of two…it’s scary.
thanks @impact_podcast
One on one phone calls, and building your tribe/list, is where the money is. Its not so scary when you do it from the heart rather than from the money aspect.
@Gigi_Peterkin It’s hard to give ourselves grace, right??
@VitalityFitDanc – wow! I admire you for championing this roller coaster.
@Gigi_Peterkin – our episode today talks a lot about focus, and the steps to get started – might be helpful http://bit.ly/1O4k0HE
@VitalityFitDanc – me too, single mom of two…scary indeed!
@AlexCameronSD so well said, and a complete truth!
Congratulations to Eric! Great dude
@VitalityFitDanc keep doing what you gotta do! You’ll get there.
It sounds sincere! If you stop, you’ll never get there. If you keep taking one step at a time you’ll get there eventually.
Good point @KellieFrazier. Progress, not perfection!
She’s gone
Can’t see you
she disappeared
Back!
Is that Nick V?
nick vujicic I believe.
Thank you @espree!
very much looking fwd to this. trying to address the lack of women in tech here in the uk.
she must have got a call
@hannaherg I have a question for you when the blab is over. May I connect with you later?
Did we lose both of them?
thanks everyone 🙂 hope that was helpful. Hannah is incredible
Yes, I can’t see Hannah
@hannaherg is still there
I can see you
I see you
I can see @hannaherg
I can’t see either of them.
@hannaherg you are there
Can only see you

Yay!!
Woot woot for more podcasters!

Big fan of the IMPACT PRENEUR!!!!

I’ve read posts on how women have hid being pregnant
pregnant women should have the proper $ in place to take the time off. I took off 2 years and I’m a CEO of 5 companies
Love you too Stephanie! You look beautiful. =)
🙂
D A T E the facebook CEO
ROFL
what?
I’ve been trying for years
It’s hard, but you make it work. I’ve gone from bringing my babies to the office, to working with them from home to sending them to daycare. You evolve as necessary
Stephanie’s episode: http://bit.ly/1XHENpE
Just have your man stay home and take care of them kids
The only issue with women running a company is letting there emotions get in the way of things, as women we “GIVE A DAMN”
hugs Steph!!!!!!
people comfortable with transparent have a predisposition for social media success
go creativity
audience. where are your audience? what is your customer demographic?
From 18 to 32 is big gap, they are way different.

Snapchat feels a bit MySpace. Periscope took off once Twitter bought it.

@impact_podcast Pat is awesome! Best line from last week from his guest “Sometimes you need to just shoot the gun and ride the bullet”. Classic!
LOVING this aspect of social entrepreneurs from @girltankorg

http://girltank.org/
Thanks Hannah! 🙂
thanks a great questions @leifhansen!
<3
No problem @impact_podcast , I’m really curious how I can help (and for some reason I find that I most often end up working with women social entrepreneurs.)
(Thanks for that)
Thanks for a great question and support @leifhansen
q/ is there a full list of speakers from the day somewhere?
@mslagh here!: https://wecon.splashthat.com/
@mslagh on the website http://wecon.splashthat.com/
You are upside down holly
Entrepreneurs solve problems for a profit.
@impact_podcast thanks!
@girltank What are the biggest challenges?
integration! yes!
yay! right side up!
yes!
Yes, mom of 2 teen girls!
18, 15 and 7
My business is my baby right now
mom of a 9, 7, and 6 yr old
yes! 6 and 8.!
Yes, single mom of 3, 8 yr old girls
Becoming a mom scares me because of the sacrifice
I knew this would be relevant !!! 🙂
Hey Lori!
Hi Everyone!
Welcome everyone, please share on blab and twitter!
Interested in having a family but as main earner still trying to find when I can take a break to focus on this before it is too late
Hey, hey Stephanie. Everyone feeling better today?
homeschool family here too❤️❤️
Talk away!
🙂 Hey Lori…getting there. I’m still pretty sick as is Mia
@hannaherg – you rocked that session! Have to head out – I know you will master the exit in style 🙂
@impact_podcast THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING
will connect later on more events 🙂
Have to go, but thanks for letting this guy pop in. I’m inspired to hear of all you ladies are doing and how you are supporting each other. Hope to connect more deeply with some of you here on Blab or elsewhere. Cheers 🙂 (LeifHansen.me to stay connected.)
Holy Cow that’s amazing!!!
WOW. I Million followers
@leifhansen thank you so much for coming–glad to connect!
WOW. Crazy numbers! Excellent Holly
Incredible!!
work during nap times and in the evening when they go to bed AND if your spouse can take care of them in the early evening you can work then too. I did this in my family
Being 100% present makes a huge difference but takes discipline
Too funny, I was saying that yesterday. ADULT conversation is a big motivator!
Natalie is truly an AMAZING business coach !!!
Yes!! I do that with an indoor playground for toddlers and infants that has wifi
So true Natalie
@bizchixpodcast you are such a great host!
love that!! delivered dinners! 💕💕💕 that’s so perfect!
Oh man, I need a wife. 🙂
absolutely agree. I spend to much time cooking!
I suggest this to moms all the time. Especially ones that are self employed. Put aside time for maternity leave and for vacation and sick days, just as if someone else was paying you.
So smart Lori
Yes because just like Holly says.. you are in survival mode and I am jealous of the mom who has the “good baby.” I NEVER had that baby. Mine were all – all hands on deck babies.
Great topic to discuss ladies. It helps other mothers know that they are not alone.
Q: Holly what are the other websites that you run?
Steph, before we go, I just wanted to send you hugs and hope for a full and quick recovery. Hard being a mommy and being sick too.
You are so right, Holly, I have teens and it’s tough because their perception is that I’m always working- have to be really disciplined about disconnecting sometimes!
I do that too. Timer for work time alternating with THEIR time. Honor it and truly separate from the work.
Thanks Lor!! xoxo I appreciate it!!
Thanks Holly!
GREAT Blab you guys- thank you for doing this!!!!
thanks Holly! You ROCK!
Glad you enjoyed it @Frienedy !
Yes, great info for us mompreneurs. Thank you ladies!!
thank you both!!
