Ever catch yourself scrolling through LinkedIn because your job isn’t AI-proof, seeing another successful woman entrepreneur, and thinking, “That could be me”?
Well, guess what? You’re right. And the timing has never been better!
Here’s the hard truth: while you’re reading this, another 9-5er just launched their side hustle. Women-owned businesses with revenues between $250,000 and $999,999 grew their aggregate revenues by a stunning 30%. That’s not just growth—that’s a revolution.
I know because I’ve lived both sides of this story. After grinding through 10+ years in ecommerce and distribution at Fortune 100 companies, I took the leap.
The result? An AI-proof life.
I helped scale an ecommerce and subscription box business from zero to 9 figures in just 24 months.
But let’s talk about you. You’re probably:
Stuck in the golden handcuffs of a corporate job
Watching your male colleagues launch businesses on the side
Dreaming about building something of your own
Worried about risking your stable income
The cost of waiting?
Every day you don’t start is a day someone else captures your future customers. While you’re hesitating, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor reports that 33% of established business owners are now women.
They’re not waiting—and neither should you!
