HOW CAN WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS GROW THEIR BUSINESS IN THE GAP?
Most entrepreneurs are courageous, creative and gutsy. And most know when it is time to do something different to grow their business. It may be because they have a keen business sense. Or perhaps they see the obvious change in the market or the competition quickly advancing. But if the truth is told, there is nothing more that wakes an entrepreneur up to the need to change like lagging sales, turnover, or low morale to help stir an entrepreneur to action. Although it may be clear it is time make a change, not all entrepreneurs are ready to take another leap. Why? For every new idea or product launch to find its way to the public, it must get across the gap.
For the entrepreneur there will always be a degree of space and tension between vision and outcome, plans and reality… that place between where you are and where you want to be.
Even with the best crafted business plan, the shrewd skill sets of a Donald Trump and the fearsome focus of a chess player—business owners know there will probably be a need for more capital, more marketing and more energy expended. It’s great to have an idea or a service or product to add to a business, but one must strategically navigate the hurdles and hindrances that go along with growing a business.
Drawing upon research and real life experience, author and speaker, Kim Hardy, believes that although no one can avoid the gap, fortunately everyone has the opportunity to take advantage of the gap. On April 23, Kim Hardy will be speaking at the Bartow Business Women luncheon held at the Cartersville-Bartow County Chamber of Commerce. Hardy will reveal key behaviors and characteristics that can position any female entrepreneur to grow a business in the gap. She will share information based on her upcoming book, The Gap Advantage: How to grow and progress in your personal and professional life when you are not where you want to be. Lunch is $10 and reservations are required. Please call the Chamber to make your reservation, 770-382-1466.
