There is not a single woman entrepreneur out there who has not been affected in some way by the current pandemic. Everyone is experiencing considerable stress and strain. It’s at times like these that we need to show greater compassion for one another. There will be some women entrepreneurs who have high resilience levels and will overcome these tough economic times, just as they have done in the past. There are others who will find it harder, particularly those young women entrepreneurs who are starting out on their business journeys and who have experienced a big confidence jolt during this crisis. This is also the case for women solopreneurs, for whom the journey will be doubly hard right now. It’s essential to have the support from fellow lionesses at times like these. It could be a kind word, or a quick message; it could be a virtual meet-up once a week to compare notes and swop experiences; it could be a shared article or video with helpful advice or information. No matter how small the gesture, it will make a big difference.
