Ever feel like you’re pouring your heart and soul into your posts, only to hear crickets? You’ve spent hours crafting what you thought was a great post, filled with insights, value, and passion. You hit “post” with excitement, expecting a flood of engagement. But then… Nothing. No likes, no comments, no shares 🫣 Just silence. It’s a little disheartening, right? Last week, I asked our Real Entrepreneur Women Facebook Group to vote which option they need support with: 👉 Not getting any like or comments on my posts 👉 Shifting my mindset around money 👉 Knowing what to say when I am in conversation with my dream client And ‘Not getting any likes or comments on my posts’ came out as the winner. So, you ask, I deliver 🤩 With the 5 year anniversary of the Wealthy Woman Mastermind continuing throughout July, I have something exciting for the next 5 WOMEN who join us: 🎁 The-Done-With-You Dream Client Profile 🎁 This exclusive bonus will allow you to truly understand who your dream client is so you can create content that: ✅ Speaks their language ✅ Shows that you really ‘get’ them ✅ Make them want to like and comment on your posts! When I say this is a game-changer, I mean it. Why? Because once you know you’re talking to and understand their motivators, their fears, and what they’re ultimately looking for… You can create content that resonates deeply. Content that connects and speaks directly to them. And the result? Your audience will be eager to like and comment, saying “That’s me! I relate to that! I want to know more!” So, are you ready to transform your engagement? 👉 Type “DREAM CLIENT” below to get your hands on this bonus! And let’s get those comments and likes rolling in. Backing you to rise, Sophie x

Another inspiring woman entrepreneur success story is that of Arianna Huffington, the co-founder and former editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post. Huffington's journey to success is characterized by resilience, innovation, and a commitment to creating impactful media content. 🚀 In 2005, Huffington co-founded The Huffington Post, a news and blog platform that aimed to provide a diverse range of voices and perspectives on current events, politics, entertainment, and lifestyle topics. Despite facing skepticism from traditional media outlets, Huffington's vision for a new kind of digital media platform resonated with audiences seeking alternative sources of news and opinion. 💡 Under Huffington's leadership, The Huffington Post quickly rose to prominence, attracting millions of readers and winning numerous awards for its journalism and commentary. The site's unique blend of news aggregation, original reporting, and user-generated content helped redefine the media landscape and paved the way for the rise of digital journalism. 🏆 In 2011, The Huffington Post was acquired by AOL for $315 million, marking a significant milestone in Huffington's entrepreneurial journey. Following the acquisition, Huffington continued to serve as editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post while also expanding her influence as a public speaker, author, and advocate for health and wellness. 🌟 Arianna Huffington's success as an entrepreneur is a testament to her vision, determination, and willingness to challenge the status quo. Her entrepreneurial journey demonstrates the transformative power of digital media and serves as an inspiration to women entrepreneurs around the world. 💪 #AriannaHuffington #MediaInnovation #FemaleEntrepreneur #DigitalTransformation #JournalismEvolution #InspiringWomen

I’ve been having a really hard time. I knew the seasonal depression would creep back in, but it damn near smacked me in the face. I’ve spent a lot of time sleeping, crying, and growing. Analyzing what is important, when to settle, and when to keep going. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, the women in my life are what keep me going. The check-in texts and calls. The grace they give me when I have to cancel because I can’t get out of bed. I can’t even count the amount of LinkedIn messages, emails, website contact forms, or anonymous IG messages that I get telling me to keep going. That’s what makes me chuckle when I am constantly told a consumption lounge business model won’t work. If you don’t think it will work, that’s probably because it’s not for you. I have a lonngggggggg list of people in my community it is for. Most of the cannabis pitch decks I’ve seen (and I’ve seen a lot I used to work for a CEO) are just random ass projections without any community or consumer feedback. I have the community. I have concrete numbers from events and merchandise sales. Makes you wonder why we still can’t get funded. 🤔 But my friends and I know exactly why Ashe Lounge isn’t funded. We’re women. (There’s statistics and numbers behind it, don’t come for me anymore.) And that’s why we keep each other going. It’s a perseverance only women have. So here’s to another week of not giving up. 🥂 #investinwomen

Thanks Chris Lam for including me among the women you're highlighting during Women in Small Business Month! Chris is always telling me that I don't promote myself enough, so here goes (in my own unconventional way). I'm what Emilie Wapnick calls a MultiPotentialite - someone who likes to do many different things, career-wise. I've never had a straight path, and while on whatever path I'm on, I'm always doing at least one other thing. For a long time, I thought that meant I was a loser. Friends and colleagues were moving up to great jobs, and although I couldn't imagine myself being happy on a path like that, it's hard not compare yourself. I decided to lean into wherever my interests took me: entertainment business, grad school, copywriting, website managing, social media marketing, digital marketing, chief-of-staff, creative consulting... my list definitely isn't done. And you know what? I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. All of my experiences have made me a better writer and digital strategist, and lead me to a form of business/creative consulting that I call Creative Spitballing. Now I do all three and it's perfect for me. So if you're looking for an experienced ear to help plot out your next steps in your career or personal project, reach out. I'll give you the strength and optimism that you need. So there you go Chris. You told me to put myself out there, and I've become one of those people who writes a LinkedIn novel.

Sometimes you’ve got to be thrown in to see if you can swim. And that’s what I did to all the fabulous attendees of The Women in Finance Brunch yesterday. At previous meetings the conversation naturally turned to LinkedIn and social media marketing They all wanted to start generating more business through LinkedIn - I mean it’s why we are all here right?! So I said I would share what I know on the subject. I am no LinkedIn expert but I spend a lot of time here learning from other creators, I’ve had training with Lea Turner and Jem Beven So feel I could pass on the basics. But at the end of the session I insisted we all collaborate on a post together. Learning is great, but sharing knowledge and supporting one another is even better! I can't wait to see the changes to their profiles and the way they use LinkedIn! It's all about empowering each other to succeed in the world of finance and beyond. Stay tuned for some amazing posts coming your way, and If you missed out on our brunch, don't worry – there's always room for more fabulous women in finance to join us on this journey. DM me if you want to join! What’s your go to brunch menu option? I’ll go first; smashed avocado on toast with a poached egg, a side of bacon with a hot coffee and fresh orange juice! #WomenInFinance #LinkedInCollaboration

Despite what you might think about the disruptive nature of "innovation" there is a baffling norm in the VC (venture capital) world. Here, extreme misogyny is not the exception. And since start-ups (and VC firms) don't typically have HR departments, HOSTILE misogyny is unbelievably prevalent AND widely accepted. I feel like there’s a joke here about what they’re really incubating, but I can’t get off my soapbox just yet. Hostile misogyny in the startup ecosystem is not an illusion. It is abundant. And it's abundantly clear that women are not welcome to participate, except as creatives, or token diversity hires...or as female-founders that struggle to get funded because they're not "likeable" enough. Now before you come for me, I'm sure you can cite a few exceptions but that's exactly what they are -- exceptions. Women-founded VCs supporting women, spaces created just for women, and women’s products that eventually just “don’t have enough market share” to be fundable. Honestly, I don't remark on this a lot because I KNOW how repellant it is to think about this stuff. I know with gravity how the perception of a woman changes when she's seen as entitled to fair treatment. I have been excommunicated, name called, kicked out of shared workspaces, and plainly denied opportunities for simply failing to fold in response to the constant barrage of toxic masculinity -- my mere presence being offensive. But, I guess I’ve got that eye of the tiger because I just keep springing back up, asking for more. Despite stats like, "less than 2% of VC funding go to female-founders" somehow I thought that my experiences of EXTREME sexism in this space were somewhat isolated.   Having worked in technology and men dominated spaces for my entire career, I was paralyzed with how many sexist clichés were living and breathing in the start-up world. I say "were," but it feels like "are." This is the present state of innovation. It's kinda laughable until you realize that it's not isolated; it's systemic. The good news, being a founder and a leader takes a certain level of irreverence and grit. We have the capacity to represent those qualities as gender neutral concepts. Because no one's coming to save us. We are the ones we've been waiting for. Get up. Keep representing. Keep calling people out. Keep doing the damn thing. #femaleleadership #innovationecosystem #VC #sexism
