Six Inspiring Things About Women’s Entrepreneurship
Women’s Entrepreneurship Day 2020
Since more people are likely to read a list than an article, I made this list highlighting the most inspiring things about last week’s #WEcreateBC event.
- Despite barriers to starting, financing, and making it through such a trying year, many diverse entrepreneurs, including Indigenous, immigrant and racialized #WomenEntrepreneurs have made strides in their businesses this year.
- Most of the local, women-led businesses recirculate their revenue back into the local economy, retaining more local jobs and creating self employment that often grows to the employment of others.
- The creativity of these entrepreneurs is exceptional and impactful.
- These businesses solve specific problems that grew out of the needs, gaps, frustrations and preferences of the local community.
- These stories might be the reminder you need to take the first step in your entrepreneurial journey! It’s never too late and by writing goals down right now you have a greater chance of follow-through.
Have a peek at the video below and you’ll get my motivation for celebrating a decade of volunteering with the Women’s Enterprise Centre: the non-profit organization devoted to helping BC women start, lead, and grow their own businesses.

Stick with it everyone,
