INSPIRING WOMEN TO CONQUER ENTREPRENEURIAL FEAR
U.S. Census Bureau data shows that despite vibrant growth of women entrepreneurs in NYC over the past decade, there is still a significant “entrepreneurship gender gap.”
According to Jen Slaw, executive director of Juggling Life, Inc., speaker, trainer, and expert juggler – who left her corporate engineering career to build her own business – “There is no reason why there should be significantly fewer female entrepreneurs. Women are natural jugglers and well-equipped to wear the many different hats required to run our own businesses. We know that entrepreneurs can help bolster economic security as well as lift communities through job creation and we must do more to support and empower women owned businesses.”
In March, the City of New York launched the WE NYC Initiative, announcing a goal to reach 5,000 women entrepreneurs and small business owners over the next three years. Educational and support programs begin this month.
In this segment, Jen will share with your audience 4 key strategies to help women get unstuck and conquer the fear of getting started as business owners, inspiring women to embrace a new paradigm for juggling profession, passion, and purpose.

F.E.A.R. FORMULA FOR KICKING ENTREPRENEURIAL FEAR TO THE CURB:
Flip it. What does your life look like if you DO NOT take this risk?
Envision success. Visualize the life and outcome you desire.
Ask for help. Research shows that 55% of women business owners versus 40% of men business owners are encouraged by an entrepreneurial role model.
Rework it. Mistakes can lead to creative solutions you never considered.
