Zoë Foster Blake has been reluctant to describe herself as an entrepreneur but after securing an $89 million deal to sell half her beauty business Go-To Skincare she says, “I’ve earned my stripes today.”
Yep, I'd say so. 👏
Congrats, @zotheysay.

How do successful female #entrepreneurs structure their day? 3 common things that they do, according to this breakdown:
1️⃣ wake up very early
2️⃣ follow a rigid daily routine to minimise decision fatigue
3️⃣ exercise daily
Every week I host a #free workshop on Zoom with someone cool in the entrepreneur space who has mastered a high value skill. For 45 mins, they teach you how to do that thing.
Coming up: @TheHustle's @stephsmithio will show you how to automate your biz.

@AdamMGrant I feel like the lesson here is that you can get pretty far by just polishing your communication skills and practicing the art of projecting confidence.
Ask customers to leave reviews on third party websites, not just your store.
E.g. If you're in the wedding biz, ask for reviews on The Knot.
Then, repurpose them for your site, emails, and social.
Trying to decide on a name for your brand?
Mock up your product or site homepage in @canva and slap some different name options on the front.
In 2021, brand names are read more than they're said.
How the business name looks matters more than how it sounds.
Unpopular opinion: we should get rid of all fundraising round names and just use numbers.
Eg: “I’m raising $5m”
Vs
“I’m raising a pre-seed, seed, mango seed, post-seed, avocado seed, pre-A, series A depending on who is interpreting.”
The countdown to #InternationalWomensDay is on!

Not only are women grossly underrepresented as sources of expertise in news, but the use of women as news sources DECREASED between 2010-2015. Journos, do we need some DE&I training?
Women are half the population. Yet in a survey of six countries, women were up to six times less likely to be quoted in the news as experts or sources.
We need to increase the number of women who are shaping perspectives. https://t.co/JAlMac5BrI
