Lunch and Learn: Female entrepreneurs – secrets of their success

Webinar

In this Lunch and Learn, authors Ruth Saunders and John Smythe offer tips for aspiring female entrepreneurs who are starting out or growing their businesses. 

This is based on their interviews with 52 successful women for their book 

Female entrepreneurs – the secrets of their success.

From their extensive research, Ruth and John also provide insight into what struck them most, including one founder's ability to hold down a corporate post, run a start-up on the side and bring up three young children as a single mother.

The ages of the 52 female entrepreneurs interviewed ranged from 12 to mid-60s, demonstrating that you can start a business at any age and any stage in your life.

Book for me a discovery 

Hi, guys welcome my name is <ins>Giorgi Hind</ins>
&nbsp;I am an entrepreneur and have various different skills and experience in building businesses from scratch and buying companies.
but It wasn&apos;t always like that let me tell you&nbsp;
when I was younger and I was at school I couldn&apos;t read and write and was dyslexic and came out of school with no qualification&apos;s it was a tough time for me but, luckily I didn&apos;t let that stop me because I knew I wanted more in life.
I started off with a construction company, as I studied carpentry when I was 17 and I set up a company in my 20s and grew it to a successful size and took on construction projects up to 6 figures + carrying out many different building projects from commercial to residential and housing development. I then bought a service company in my mid-20s in the cleaning and maintenance sector we had over 70 employees and 60 active contracts.&nbsp;

I believe what truly drives me to be successful and grow my businesses was my journey of self-understanding and self-discovery in myself. The more I understood about myself the more powerful I become in my life and I truly understand that everything that we want to achieve in our life comes from within us.&nbsp;
Everything that we do in our lives and what we want to achieve comes down to our level of thinking which I started to understand in my early 20s after becoming more self-aware and studying the mind and how we operate as a being,
&nbsp;the greatest technology and intellectual intelligence lives within us it just understands how to access it. it&apos;s there and lying dormant.

through my coaching programs I implement different structures within different areas of your business, such as sales marketing communication statistics and analytic management and administrative management, but what really sets me apart from most business development companies out there is we have a unique process that allows you to overcome barriers that you can face in yourself and raise your level of awareness. you can have the best service in the world but let&apos;s face it, if you haven&apos;t fully harnessed the power of how your own mind works you&apos;ll never be as truly productive as you can be.&nbsp;
Your business is a self-expression of you and this is what we put together in my coaching programs.

But to give you some background on some of the results that you can achieve in your business well we guarantee a 65% increase in your sales conversions only if you follow the program exactly how it should be and if you still don&apos;t see results I work for free!
