Apps That Help Entrepreneurs Optimize Their Digital Marketing Strategy

Did you know that there are 582 million entrepreneurs in the world? With numbers like this, entrepreneurs everywhere need a competitive edge. If you’re building and scaling a business, chances are you’re constantly on the lookout for ways to get a leg up on your competitors. To accomplish this, you’ll need a great marketing strategy that stands out in a saturated market and access to the best digital marketing tools.

In this blog, we’re going to outline nine applications you need to optimize your digital marketing strategy. There may be a few that you are familiar with; others might be new to you. These are the ones that can unlock that door to success you’ve been waiting for.

From project management to outsourcing tasks and simplifying your social media marketing efforts, each of these applications will help you get the competitive edge you’re after. Plus, they’re easy-to-use with minimal technical skills required.

Project Management and Collaboration - Trello

The most important part of starting your digital marketing strategy is communicating and setting expectations for deliverables and deadlines for yourself, and if applicable, your team and stakeholders. In the past, most project management efforts took place via email. However, that traditional process was not created to accomplish the dynamic and fast-paced tasks that digital marketing activities demand. 

Trello is a free digital marketing tool for easy project management. The app displays each project like a “board” containing “cards” with checklists, and the user interface is easy to understand and navigate. Like other platforms, there are upgrades that come as paid features to get the most out of it. But, the basic free service entails checklists, deadline reminders, data filtering, activity logs, email notifications, customizable task categories, and more. It’s the best tool to simplify and organize digital marketing projects.

4TH ANNUAL VIRTUAL CONFERENCE PRESENTED BY EWOMENNETWORK

[creatorjewels]

I’m incredibly proud of myself these days.

Career:

Only good things coming my way. New counseling center is expanding and the women in charge is young and started her practice with her LPC-A because she was fed up with having a masters and only making $30 an hour. I meet with her team last week of this month and I’ll get to start taking clients from her office which is 11 mins away from my place. I’ll make $90 per hr starting at 10-15 monthly. I can’t wait to feel challenged and fulfilled in my career again.

My agency is growing we closed a non-alcoholic mom & pop shop in Austin, TX. Huge win and we have another big closing next Monday. I’m building out proposals and taking new client alignments every week. The goal is 7 clients that can all contribute to our monthly meetup.

Which we’ve already sold tickets, bless up. Need to hit up previous attendees, and try to hit a goal of 50 paid tickets. We closed a partnership with the city of Dallas to host at Deep Ellum Foundation community center! I was worried about getting a speaker system since they don’t provide one then my client offered her old one since her company just got a new one! Even got a small sponsorship for the coffee at the event. Now I just need to go thrifting for serving apparatuses. I do want to get the local org DFWCPG involved. Try to get some of their members to serve their food/drinks at the event each month.

My mom and I are working together. Trying to help her sell this one piece of land. I know it sounds like I’m entitled but tbh she started off selling mobile homes and was a single parent mom. She BUILT this business and I don’t want her hard work to go to waste. I reached out to a couple of friends in the commercial and residential arena to see if there is any interest in their networks. Fingers crossed.

My personal Patreon for music & HTBS is doing incredibly well. By that I mean they are both making money. I’m still creating music, doing beat nights & I just applied for a reality tv show.

I had this moment where I realized everything I do makes money now. That’s incredible to me.

Go me.

Love:

FUCCKKKKK THIS MAN GOT ME FEELING NEW THINGS. His name is BLEEP (taken out for protection). I like him. He makes me soft and honest. I’m not scared to be shy with him or be honest about how crazy I can be. I’m worried I’ll loose him cause I like him so much but I’m also at the point where I’m okay with trusting him. Letting him be. Thankful for this new love it’s feels like high school. I’m screwed once we start screwing. 😂

Family:

I’m actually a cited to go to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving this year. To see my family, sit around, go on n walks, talk about random stuff, and force them to make content with me. I’m going to pull out my music skills too and see if they want to make a song with me. Mostly I’m just ready to eat food and take a fat nap knowing I’m lived by some really amazing humans I get to call family. Even if we don’t agree on life we can agree we love each other.

Friends:

I had a moment today where I MISSED my friends. It was weird cause it was new. I think before I was always worried about keeping my friends. Instead of genuinely missing them. It’s this feeling of peace or desiring piece during a busy work day. Knowing they are out there in the world pursuing their dreams too.

Songs My Ex Ruined Podcast: Our Memories Defined By Music

When someone says, "let's start a music podcast," that path can take multiple forks in the road. You can end up with a music podcast that's like a thousand others, only you think because you and your high school friend are on it, it's special. Or, your music podcast can be so arcane that only fans of 80s Hairband Grunge, quai-blue grass, jazz fusion, bubble gum rock will listen. 

Then you have bright, lively, clever, and outspoken music journalists who devise the most devious and awesomely ear worthy music podcast developed since Song Exploder. 

Here's the premise of the Songs My Ex Ruined podcast. It's a podcast about songs people can never listen to again because their terrible exes destroyed them forever. Now, that's inspired because of the anatomy of music, and how we consume it.

Consider that we may see a movie a few times (Star Wars, Harry Potter) and read an excellent book several times. But songs we can listen to thousands of times. Over and over and over. We ascribe songs to specific events in our lives. People remember the song playing when they kissed their first romantic partner, or when a boyfriend or girlfriend broke up with them. Songs can enrage us, engage us, make us feel sorry for ourselves, or just force our bodies to move on a dance floor as if we're out of control.

So that's the emotional F5 tornado that Songs My Ex Ruined taps into every episode.

The podcast, which began in November 2022, just celebrated its 50th episode last week with guest Allison Wolfe, founding member of Bratmobile, a punk rock band from the 90s and early aughts.

What's so good about this podcast? Besides the premise. First, it's the co-hosts.

Courtney E. Smith is the editor of Eater Dallas. She's a journalist of 20 years who was born and raised in Texas, with bylines in Pitchfork, Wired, Esquire, Yahoo!, Salon, Refinery29, and more.

Melissa Locker is a writer (Time Magazine among others, for nine years), editor and producer. She is the co-founder of Nevermind Media, which produces this podcast. The podcast network specializes in music podcasts, and is an all women team.

Locker and Smith are experienced music journalists with an impressive depth of knowledge on artists, songs, trends, and reactions. The co-hosts work well together on the show like peanut butter and jelly, each complementing the other. They're funny, and they're perceptive. In the first episode with Avery Trufelman (great first guest, by the way) Trufelman explains a song by the group Grizzly Bear called "Yet Again" and relates the tempo and crescendo to an orgasm. 

The co-hosts point out that orgasm can be a wildly different experience for people based on a lot of factors. The co-hosts then describe one possible orgasm as "quietly beautiful, like an Edith Wharton novel." That's awesome. I believe even Ms. Wharton would laugh if she were alive today.

The November 8, 2023, episode with T.J. Alexander about her excursion into goth culture in college allows listeners to understand more about indoctrination into college life, especially for those from rural areas. She had started dating an older guy who was into goth music and who loved the band Type O Negative, especially the song "Love You to Death." Alexander explains how she outgrew her first boyfriend on campus and his ridiculous claims about the 1922 film Nosterfu and a Type O Negative album he claimed could be played perfectly in sync with the movie. Spoiler alert: He was full of shit.

In case you're wondering, it's not only women on the podcast as guests. On the December 7, 2023, episode with podcaster Ronald Young, Jr., he discusses his relationship with a younger woman who was crazy for rapper Lil' Wayne and would rap his lyrics incessantly everywhere. Other notable guests include musicians Marnie Stern, K. Flay, Sadie Dupuis, and Abigail Barlow; comedians Kyle Gordon, Ivy Le, and Gianmarco Soresi; authors Lane Moore, Nabil Ayers, and TJ Alexander; and podcaster Jane Marie. The show is using the occasion of its 50th episode to launch a newsletter and Patreon, where listeners can vie for a shot to tell their own stories about songs that were ruined for them. 

That's the beauty of this podcast. It's like renewable energy. You've never in danger of not having enough material. Everybody has a story to tell linking music to a breakup. Remember the 1981 single from The Greg Kihn Band, The Breakup Song, where Kihn celebrates the quality of breakup songs in rock's earlier times, as the narrator laments both his recent breakup and the fact that they don't write good breakup songs anymore Songs My Ex Ruined scores a big recommendation from me. First, it's terrific for music fans who get a listen to a wide variety of musical genres and artists, from Spice Girls to Justin Bieber, Modest Mouse to Magnapop. 

Second, the music is the launch point for deeper discussions of relationships -- sustaining them, ending them, and reinvigorating them.

Third, the co-hosts are a delight to listen to and are adept interviewers, handling episode guests with skill, sensitivity, humor, and curiosity.

Finally, the concept sparks our memories from months, years, or decades ago and how we felt at one point in our lives -- sad, disenchanted, confused, heartbroken, or relieved.

9 Interesting Social Activities For Aging Adults Who Live Alone

The elderly who live alone or independently often experience social isolation and boredom due to their weak condition of limbs. It is paramount for seniors to go outdoors to enjoy and maintain an active life both physically and socially. As long as they lead a healthy life, they must not stick to their house all day long and watch talk shows or read a book. Being physically and socially active is proven for seniors to avert isolation and depression. This rule doesn't only apply to healthy seniors, but those who face health challenges can get assistance from home care Dallas for transportation services. Here are some engaging social activities for seniors living alone and isolated.

1. Volunteer Programs

Volunteer programs often require a minimum obligation and usually look for some extra people to offer assistance. Volunteer programs give a chance for some light and physical activity and a thoughtful approach for seniors to unite with the community. Seniors can select a program within their area or any area of interest or even choose an organization that needs immediate volunteers. For example, professional retirees usually volunteer for retired executive service corporations to guide new business owners. Elderly can look forward to habitat for humanity, hospitals, hospice care facility, women's shelter and local soup kitchens for volunteering.

2. Computer Classes

Changing the technological landscape often becomes challenging for seniors to keep up with. However, learning about basic email navigation and social networks may impact their lives positively. These essential skills certainly help many seniors to stay in touch with family and friends and offer an excellent opportunity to reconnect with old friends.

3. Senior Fitness Programs

Many senior fitness communities hold exercise classes for seniors to stay active. Their fitness level determines the class type that will be best for them and includes workouts like yoga, Tai Chi, water aerobics and therapeutic stretching.

4. Crafting

Crafting is considered a great physical and social activity for seniors that keeps their hands and minds busy. Many community centres hold classes for seniors to learn basic crafting skills like crocheting, knitting, jewellery making and many others that seniors enjoy. This is an amazing opportunity for seniors to socialize and learn new skills or even take their old skills to an advanced level. They can even make money by selling their handmade goods or donating them to the needy.

5. Getting Outdoors

Outdoor activities offer a sense of relaxation to seniors and an opportunity to socialize. Seniors can walk with their or their neighbour's pet, talk with new people and make friends. They can also take pictures for their adventure journal.

6. Attend Community Events

Attending community events such as festivals, concerts, and fairs can be a fun way to get out of the house and meet new people. Many communities offer events throughout the year that are open to the public. Attending these events can be a great way to connect with others and learn about local culture and traditions.

7. Explore Local History

Many seniors have a deep interest in local history, and exploring this history can be a great way to learn more about the community and meet new people. Whether it's visiting local museums or attending historical society events, exploring local history can be a fun and engaging way to stay socially active.

8. Participate in Online Communities

While face-to-face interaction is essential, online communities can also provide valuable opportunities for social interaction. There are many online forums and social media groups that cater to seniors, and these can be great places to connect with others who share similar interests and experiences

9. Host a Social Gathering

Finally, hosting a social gathering can be a great way to bring people together and foster social connections. Whether it's a potluck dinner, a game night, or a movie screening, hosting a social gathering can provide opportunities for seniors to connect with others in a comfortable and familiar setting.

Conclusion

These are some of the fantastic social activities that seniors can enjoy and get a chance to stay active as well. Families can also consider consulting Dallas home care providers as another effective way to help their loved one socialize and remain physically active. The caregivers will offer companionship and transportation services to take them to social communities and musical events, encouraging them to enjoy a high quality of life in their golden years.

Building Networks that Empower: How Women Can Create Effective Business Networks

In the realm of business, networking is not just about building a list of contacts—it's about cultivating meaningful relationships that can provide mutual support and opportunities for growth. For women in business, these connections can serve as a springboard to overcome hurdles, achieve professional goals, and pave the way for future generations of women leaders. Today, we'll dive deep into how women can create effective business networks and how such networks can empower them to reach new heights in their careers.

Understanding the Importance of Networking for Women in Business

Research has repeatedly shown that robust business networks play a crucial role in the success of entrepreneurs and professionals alike. It's through these networks that we gain access to essential resources—knowledge, opportunities, mentorship, and support. However, the gender disparity within business networks is not insignificant. Women in business often find themselves contending with male-dominated networks, where access to resources may be limited. As a result, it's vital for women to build their networks proactively, focusing not just on quantity but also on the quality of connections.

Navigating the Networking Landscape

The world of networking can feel overwhelming. It's teeming with networking events, online platforms, and various groups that can sometimes feel more daunting than helpful. For women looking to build their business networks, it's crucial to navigate this landscape strategically. Consider your professional goals and target industries, and identify networking opportunities that align with these parameters. Seek out events and platforms where you're likely to meet peers, mentors, and potential business partners who share your interests and aspirations. The more relevant your network, the more empowering it will be.

Building Meaningful Connections

Once you've identified the right networking opportunities, the next step is to build meaningful connections. Networking isn't just about exchanging business cards—it's about engaging in authentic, mutually beneficial relationships. This means asking insightful questions, offering your knowledge and expertise where appropriate, and maintaining regular contact. Networking for women in business isn't about conforming to an "old boys' club" model; instead, it's about fostering relationships based on respect, empathy, and mutual

The holidays are here! It may look a little different this year due to the pandemic, but that doesn’t stop the busy season of business from booming. With all this cheer and excitement going on around the world, some of you might be wondering how you are going to get everything you need to get done before it’s time to enjoy the holidays yourself.

As an entrepreneur, chances are you struggle to take time off because if you don’t work then neither does the business, right? Wrong. Sure, your professional lifestyle may call for you to answer calls and emails asap, but that doesn’t mean you can’t squeeze in some time to allow yourself to recharge. Fortunately, it’s that time of the year where many businesses and entrepreneurs take vacations and breaks for the holidays (it’s practically the one time of the year when it’s easy to sneak in some guilt-free time off).

We’re here to help you create a plan and map out what you need to do in order to free up time to relax and spend time with loved ones during the holidays.

Set Your Goals

Since there are less than two months left in the year, it’s a good time to reassess your goals for Q4 and the year as a whole. Are you on track to accomplishing everything you set out for? What do you absolutely need to achieve before the end of the year? Take some time to prioritize what needs to be done immediately and what can wait till the next year or quarter. Then, create a schedule for the time you have left.

5 New Year's Resolutions Every Entrepreneur Should Make in 2023

As you may have learned from our smash hit Webinar: Goal to Game Plan, NOW is the time to make those plans for 2023!  We have our work goals and personal goals, but every good entrepreneur knows the secret is to get clear and start STRONG.   1.)

Get clear on your finances.

Any ambiguity surrounding your finances should be made crystal clear.  That should be a top (if not THE top) resolution for 2023.  It may not be the most invigorating way to start the year, but before tax season, take the time and hire the right experts to answer all your questions. 2.)

Understand your goals.

Your everyday actions should always be working toward your goals. Take the time to create an action plan around your goals and gain a deeper understanding of what actions you must take to achieve them. 3.)

Be more empathetic.

They say to treat the janitor with the same respect as the CEO.  This is especially true for CEOs.  To be a leader worth following, you must remember that everyone around you also has hopes and dreams, perhaps you can both help each other get there.   4.)

Take care of your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Being an entrepreneur is rewarding, but it’s hard work!  You must treat your body and your mind with the utmost care and understanding.  This includes taking time off, nourishing yourself, exercise, and more!   5.)

Find an accountability partner.

With so many moving pieces, it can be especially easy to let yourself off the hook. It’s one of the reasons so many New Year’s resolutions fail! So, as we move into the last couple weeks of 2022, find that person who will keep you accountable while cheering you on. No one does it alone.

Critical thinking lectures:

How has lifestyle, industrial & social changes impacted fashion & textiles?

In today’s lecture we gained understanding of what has influenced and impacted fashion and textiles in the past, in order to predict what will happen to the fashion and textiles industries in the future.

We started by exploring historical aspects that have driven these changes, to start to interpret the significance that these influential factors will play on the future of the fashion & textile industries.

We watched a video on YouTube called “100 years of fashion: women” Published on 3 jun 2015. Were we discussed as a group what drives these changes.

The growth of the fashion industry, caused by the industrial revolution (1870-1900s) enabled the suffragettes to use fashion as a form of branding to help promote their cause.

“They are, of course, only following in the honourable tradition set over a century ago by the suffragettes, who harnessed fashion, and the meaning of colour, as methods of communication in the early days of photography. In 1908 Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence devised the scheme of purple for dignity, white for purity and green for hope - branding for the cause, which triggered Liberty and Selfridges to start selling ranges of tricolour ribbon, underwear, bags and soap. Christina Broom…documented marches of thousands of suffragists and suffragettes wearing white dresses designed to prove to the country the dignity of their cause.”

“Make Do and Mend was a pamphlet issued by the British Ministry of Information in the midst of WWII. It was intended to provide housewives with useful tips on how to be both frugal and stylish in times of harsh rationing. With its thrifty design ideas and advice on reusing old clothing, the pamphlet was an indispensable guide for households. Readers were advised to create pretty ‘decorative patches’ to cover holes in warm garments; unpick old jumpers to re-knit chic alternatives; turn men’s clothes into women’s; as well as darn, alter and protect against the ‘moth menace’.

The “New Look” exploded in Paris in 1947 (in contrast to the utilitarian approach adopted in the war) lead by the pioneering designer Christian Dior, who empowered women through fashion. 

“Throughout the war, cloth and labour shortages had limited the amount of fabric and trimming that could be used… jackets had been masculine, shoulders square and skirts short and straight… belts, seams, collars and trouser turn-ups had to conform to certain restrictions …” Yet, only two years after the end of the war, here were ankle-length skirts whose hems measured up to 40 metres in circumference. Here was a fashion that emphasised femininity, with rounded shoulders, waists nipped in tight, and hips and busts exaggerated by bodices and padding. 

The New Looks striking stylistic legacy lived on well into the 1960s.

”Women, with their sure instincts, realized that my intention was to make not just more beautiful but also happier,” said Dior: A businessman as well as a poet, he made fashion responsible for expressing society's desires, and  showed it how to communicate…” ref book Dior

Working in groups based on the following decades: 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. In our group we researched fashion in the 2000s. We made a mind map that considered the above influencing factors that have impacted on the fashion designers from this decade. We recorded the effect of these causes and how they have driven the design, materials and production at this time. 

2000s Fashion:

Casual clothing and leisurewear were big trends in the early 2000s, a casual look for women would have been, crop tops, hoodies, low-rise flared jeans, cargo pants, daisy dukes, jean skirts, off the shoulder tops, ribbed sweaters, with platform sandals, ugg boots, or sneakers. 

After researching I found technology and Y2K bug (problem in the coding of computerized systems that was projected to create havoc in computers and computer networks around the world at the beginning of the year 2000) had a huge impact on fashion in the early 2000s. The colour palette was full of shiny black tones and reflective metallics. The Y2K trend was worn on a daily but mainly reserved for going out. Popular outfits for women included mesh or handkerchief tops, box-pleated or leather skirts, shiny pants, and sparkly shoes. Britney Spears was a trendsetter for this type of style. For men, Y2K looks involved leather jackets, a statement dress shirt, and chunky shoes. 

Mid 2000s fashion - Fashion started to take cues from 1960s bohemian looks. Yoga pants, low-rise jeans, cowl-neck shirts, peasant tops, capri pants, cropped jackets, and dresses over jeans was a popular outfit choice for women. These outfits were paired with accessories, such as, chunky belts, aviator sunglasses, jelly bracelets, ties worn around the neck or as belts, ballet flats, and platform boots. The 1960s revival looks were also popular with men. Including light wash bootcut jeans, cargo shorts, classic rock t-shirt, fitted cowboy shirts, henleys, polos with popped collars, and seersucker suits. 

Late 2000s fashion - For women, crop tops were replaced with camisoles and miniskirts, bubble skirt, and sweater dresses. There was also a 1980s and 1990s revival of neon colours, animal prints, geometric shapes, light denim jeggings, and ripped acid washed jeans that were worn with gladiator sandals, ballet flats, and headbands. The oversized look became popular, but it was more subtle than the traditional 80s fit. Men’s late 2000s fashion was a mix of 1950s and 1980s throwbacks, with letterman and black leather jackets, overcoats, slim cut jeans, Ed Hardy t-shirts, flannel shirts, and V-neck sweaters. Paired with dad hats, wayfarers or aviators, motorcycle boots, converse, vans, or sneakers. 

Hip-Hop had a influence on the 2000s fashion, many rappers influenced fashion with their own clothing lines. Including Jay-Z, Diddy, Nelly, and 50 Cent. Many looks included baggy jeans, tall t-shirts, sports jerseys, velour suits, bubble jackets, and puffer vests paired with headbands, sweatshirts, Timberland boots, and sneakers like Adidas Superstars or Nike Air Force 1s. 

Streetwear is brand focused casual clothing, like jeans, tees, and sneakers. In the late 2000s popular streetwear styles included distressed skinny jeans, loose fitting tops, loose or fitted tracksuits, track pants, hoodies, graphic t-shirts, vintage thrift shop tees, and Tommy Hilfiger and U.S. Polo Assn brands. Sneakers were an important part of the style, retro Nike Air Jordans and Adidas Yeezys. 

Emo fashion became popular in the mid 2000s and took cues from goth and punk styles. Outfits were often all or mainly black with skinny jeans, band t-shirts, studded belts, and checkered vans. Every emo look was completed with the right hairstyle, choppy cuts with long side-swept bangs dyed black, platinum blonde, or a bright colour. 

Athleisure Wear - If you wanted to be comfortable yet fashionable in the early 2000s the velor tracksuits was the go to. Britney Spears, Beyonce and Eminem to Diddy were on on the tracksuit craze. They were brightly coloured and emblazoned with rhinestone logos and phrases. It was also in to mix track pants with dress clothing and design shoes to elevate the look. 

The Beatles were one of the most influential bands in history, taking their fans on a journey of fashion styles through the decades from rock to teddy boys to hippie years.

(1962-1964) - (1964-1966)

Did technology play a part in influencing this style?

During this lecture we watched a video called The Beatles Yellow Submarine. 

Exaggerated shoulder pads epitomises the Power Dressing of the 1980’s.

In the 1980s Power Dressing in the UK grew from a new money focused generation, in London, creating a bee style. This look was patented by shows such as Dynasty and Dallas, where actors such as Joan Collins and Linda Evans dressed as female power dresses. Shoulder-pads and sharply tailored suits ruled and has been continued to be used by women today to signify power.

THATCHER USED FASHION AS A POLITICAL TOOL

“With ‘power dressing’ she could tap into the image of a career woman but her reputation as a fierce leader then drove her to wear clothes that might ‘soften’ her image, which was why she wore pussy bow blouses. A symbol of the past reflecting a more conservative femininity, the pussy bow blouse clashed with the aggressive power suits. “This was the paradox of the Thatcher image: at once she sought to embody conservative values while also seeking to assert her right to power as a woman. Dr Tyan”

My own research on Margaret Thatcher -

When looking at pictures of Margaret Thatcher, after the election in 1979, a well-dressed woman with her individual style is clearly shown. She began to create her image and appearance as an example of how women in power should dress. Thatcher was a confident and stern business woman however there was a clear contrast to the feminine clothing she wore. She used her clothing and style as an act of self - definition that disguised herself from others showing her individual identity as Prime Minister. Thatcher styled herself appropriately for political occasions, the most occuring colour Thatcher wore was royal blue. With her power suits and the legendary pussybow blouses, that made her a fashion icon, she was known for her haircut, her pearls, and her handbag. Her hairstyle was one of the famous features of Margaret Thatcher, as straight and precise as the lady herself. 

One great example on how her style, outfits and political power were set together was before she became Prime Minister. Thatcher wore hats because not only they suited her well but were symbols of her status and class. As the leader of a major political party, her hats seemed to be a political problem. It was a problem because middle class people with conventional attitudes were prejudiced towards her. This was not the picture of a leader the party wanted to draw. Consequently, after her election to British Prime Minister she only wore hats for State ceremonies and foreign tours but not on polictail occasions anymore.

Brand Report

In groups we researched information about the brand Lazy Oaf, we created a detailed report which covers each of the 8 elements that make a band pitch. These elements include: Vision & purpose, brand identity, customer, price, product, place, promotion and  packaging. In our group we decided to each choose an element to research and talk about, I picked promotion. 

Lazy Oaf’s Brand Identity is definitely something I would take away and incorporate into our brand. We want to create personal products that our customers love and respect. Minimize environmental hazards through being sustainable but with fair prices. We also discussed as a group giving back to charities with a percentage of money we make as a brand. 

This group task gave us practice with working together, assigning roles and discussing information online. We decided to split the work fairly so that everyone had an equal amount of work to research and present. As we had to present this group task to our peers it helped us practice for when we present our brand.

How Today's Women Entrepreneurs Are Empowering The Next Generation

There's an unmistakable seismic shift happening in the business landscape today, and it's echoing loud and clear: women entrepreneurs are transforming the face of industries, catalyzing innovation, and inspiring future women leaders.

These influential businesswomen are changing the narrative, demonstrating to young women and girls that they can take charge, establish their ventures, and lead with conviction. They are embodying empowerment and driving a change that encourages the next generation to follow suit.

One of the foremost ways these accomplished women entrepreneurs are empowering the next generation is through role modeling. These CEOs, founders, and industry disruptors are living proof that ambition, resilience, and innovation are not gender-bound. By actively running successful enterprises, they are etching a clear image of what a business leader can look like – and it is decidedly female.

Next, is through mentorship. Successful businesswomen understand the unique challenges that come with being a woman in entrepreneurship. Therefore, they are investing their time and resources in mentoring younger women. They are sharing their experiences, knowledge, and skills, enabling their mentees to navigate their entrepreneurial journey with a strategic roadmap drawn from real-world insights.

Entrepreneurial education is another avenue through which women entrepreneurs are making a significant impact. They are harnessing their experiences to create educational platforms, leadership programs, and startup accelerators specifically catered to empowering budding women entrepreneurs. This targeted education not only equips future entrepreneurs with essential skills but also instills a sense of belonging and confidence.

Unlocking the full potential of your entrepreneurial journey often involves connecting with like-minded individuals who share your ambition and drive. The PLUS Membership at eWomenNetwork facilitates just that. With this membership, you have the chance to network with Sandra Yancey, the CEO of eWomenNetwork. Learn More about
