Last Friday, we hosted the latest in our series of Lioness Business Agility webinars for South African women entrepreneurs, and it was good to see so many women entrepreneurs from our community attending. In the absence of our popular in-person events, it was just good to feel connected again and to see familiar faces in the virtual room. It is a powerful reminder of how important it is to feel part of a community, to share stories and experiences, to get advice when needed, and just to feel you belong. The current pandemic has made it even more important for us to come together and support one another. We know that being an entrepreneur can be a lonely business at the best of times, so when we experience tough times, we need our fellow Lionesses around us. They are there to listen to our challenges, to informally provide support and mentorship, to boost our confidence when we are doubting our decision-making, and to just be there with a virtual shoulder to cry on during those tough days. That’s the Power of the Pride - that’s our Lionesses of Africa community.
Have yourself an inspired entrepreneurial day! — Melanie
