  • Eventually, she decided she wanted to work with women in male-dominated industries to empower them.
  • She now owns a company with fellow entrepreneurs as clients, empowering them on their business journey.

Career Challenges and Overcoming Them:

  • When she started, one of the challenges she faced was building connections with people and visibility.
  • To overcome the challenge of connections and visibility, she hired a coach and eventually increased her visibility through speaking engagements. 
  • Another challenge she faced at the beginning was sales—how can she make profit?
  • Overcoming the challenge of sales took longer to master. Dr. Brown underwent different training programs and overcame her fear of rejection. 

Advice for Female Entrepreneurs:

  • Women in business may usually take on too much work, so they become tired and unfocused. Choose your tasks.
  • Another mistake women may do is not focusing on generating revenue. They may get distracted by other tasks, but they must not forget revenue.
  • Have accountability partners and keep track of the money not to lose sight of revenue.

Definition of an Entrepreneur:

  • The project manager, the team leader, the organizer.
  • You are responsible for the performance of everyone in your business.
  • Help your team. If you can’t, hire someone who can train them.

Fighting the Fear in Sales and Making a Profit:

  • Mindset is essential when it comes to sales. When you’re afraid, you are already defeated.
  • When you’re still starting, ask for help. 
  • Learn skills and practices that would help you overcome your fears. It also helps when you have a personal cheerleader.

Building Relationships with Clients:

  • It is important to ask clients questions beyond the surface and really understand where they’re coming from and where they need help.
  • Treat clients with love and care, but with sternness as well.
  • There is new technology today, but sometimes it’s best to call up your clients to build your relationships with them.
  • In the end, people look at how much you care than how much you know.

Making the Sales Process Easier:

  • Don’t hire sales support or a sales team, if you’re only doing it out of fear of making sales. As an entrepreneur, do it yourself first and refine your process as you go along.
  • Have a growth mindset over a fixed mindset.
  • Find smart ways to sell, e.g., align yourself with other businesses and cross-sell.
  • Take action and continuously strive for improvement.

Profit and People:

  • Pick up the phone, talk to past clients, and talk to potential prospects to help improve your sales process.
  • Tap into an already existing desire of the client.
