Now, I’m sharing every lesson I’ve learned about how to start & grow a business on my weekly newsletter and my blog.
Over the past year, women started an average of 1,817 new businesses per day in the U.S. That now represents 42% of nearly 13 million businesses overall, which employ 9.4 million workers and generate revenue of $1.9 trillion.
And while these female founders come from diverse backgrounds, women of color make up the biggest portion of them.
Women of color are starting businesses at a remarkable 4.5 times the rate of all businesses. Women of color account for 89% (1,625) of the new businesses opened every day over the past year. This number has grown faster than the overall rate of new women-owned businesses in the past five years—21% versus 43%.
The Haute Mindset Community is all about empowering women through entrepreneurship. Our inclusive community, which consists of a diverse group of entrepreneurial women, exists to empower women and equip them with the access, guidance, and support to accelerate their success and reach their highest potential.
We are on a mission to create the best environment for female founders to build the business of their dreams.
In 2017, researchers from NYU, Princeton, and the University of Illinois collaborated to present findings from their ground-breaking research, revealing:
By the age of five, girls quit dreaming and stop believing they can be anything they want to be or do anything they set their minds to. By contrast, boys in this age range are not experiencing the same things.
They also reported that by the age of six, girls stop associating brilliance with their gender. They start avoiding activities that require what they perceive to be high levels of intelligence.
The heart-breaking reality is that when these gender stereotypes regarding a lack of intellectual ability in females take root early, they are believed to have life-long negative impacts on their interests, choices, and career paths.
While women have made consistent and impressive gains in education attainment and the workplace over the last 50 years, men still outnumber women in high-ranking leadership positions by large margins across many industries.
Women are much less likely than men to be in leadership positions. In universities, businesses, courts, unions and religious institutions, male leaders outnumber female leaders by wide margins.
