That was the title of my presentation to Mansfield 2020 last week. This a great breakfast networking group which a fantastic turn-out. Irvin and Sam made me feel very welcome as I filled a presentation slot for Business Link who sponsored the event.
My wish for specialised women's business support is that it can be delivered in such a way that it is truly valued by the women who do, indeed, face particular issues and barriers to starting a business, but in such a way that "women's businesses" in general are not "ghettoised" and pigeonholed. It's important that the sheer diversity of women-owned businesses is respected and celebrated, as the Smart Women Network will be doing at our women's networking event on 7th May.
The Mansfield 2020 resulted in some interesting conversations that morning so I hope I've made a strong case for encouraging women to start in business. it would, after all, create a more diverse and vibrant business environment for us all to benefit from.
