BEYOND SOLO
Female Entrepreneurs Who Scale Successfully
On average, female-owned
businesses don’t grow as large
as male-owned businesses
Female-owned firms are smaller than all others
If anything, they are shrinking
But some women aim big. How can they
blast past “average” performance while
staying true to themselves?
I hate how I acted at

the $1M+ organization
meetings. It was mostly
guys, and I felt like 

I had to change myself

to fit in.”
Laura Novak and Her Family
“
INSTEAD OF BEING THE COMPANY
build one around your unique set of values
Images: Noun Project
I’ve taken two
maternity leaves
during the course
of growing our
retail business, and
those were some of
the best months of
the company.”

A LOVE NOTE

ENTREPRENEURS
Do your best work.
Touch one person.
Make a difference to a handful.

Launch ideas from the heart.
See the world as it isn’t.
Make passion your master.
Allow possibility to feed your soul.
Oh, yeah… expect the unexpected
Your Plan

example to
your family

what you
