How to become a business woman in a social network. How to be a successful business woman

A very popular dream and a burning question of many girls - how to become a business lady? What is needed for this? What to do to make it work? Where to start and how to prepare? For some reason, many perceive the word "business woman" as a breakthrough into another universe. For some, it is, if the priorities and character are not ready for this in any way, and there is no idea of ​​\u200b\u200bsuch a person. But they are in the minority. Most people just need to start and everything will work out.

business woman under the microscope

What is a business lady? In fact, this is a woman who has her own business, works for herself. It's that simple. This word can also be called a manicurist who receives clients at home and the CEO of a huge corporation. The point is to work for yourself and earn money through your efforts.

In fact, everyone is more interested in the success of a woman working for herself. How to succeed and become like the ladies who look at the crowd from the pages of glossy magazines and television programs about the rich and famous. Who can? What is needed for this?

First you need to open your own business, then promote it, make it profitable, constantly improve, expand and improve. In general, work, work and work again.

The foundation of your business and building a career are several generally recognized qualities for both men and women. Love for work, sincere love for one’s work and willingness to invest one’s strength, means, time and money in it, education and the desire for self-improvement in this area, the ability to put specific goals and achieve results, perseverance and professionalism, dedication and the right reputation, confidence and attractiveness. Such a large list of qualities should not frighten applicants for the role of a successful woman, but only cause pride and a desire to try it on.

What is the core on which the image of a business woman rests?

1. Professionalism;
2. Education;
3. Character and way of thinking;
4. behavioral principles;
5. Competent goal setting;
6. perseverance;
7. Prioritization;
8. Adequate self-esteem;
9. Acceptance of one's own reality and time;

10. Expectations and aspirations.

With such qualities as professionalism, education in the right field (not mandatory diploma crusts of the institute in the profile, but real knowledge and skills, the desire to receive more information in this area), setting goals and persistently achieving them, everything is clear. They are common for men and women. This is the basis that needs to be developed and used. As for the rest, I need to explain.

Character and thinking

The firmness of character can be manifested in everything, even in the persistence of deducing the perfect manicure or defending one's opinion in front of parents or a husband. Yes, in fact, many women will have to endure the war before they start working for themselves, the war with the family, society and environment that can dissuade, convince that nothing will work out, crush with stereotypes and blackmail with their own authority and favor. This is where firmness manifests itself - if you decide to do something and become successful in this field, you will have to prove your case both in word and deed.

This option is actually very indicative of the topic of thinking. Example: I really want to have my own popular coffee shop and make good money on it, but my husband doesn’t allow it, if I can’t persuade, I’ll have to forget .... That's it, period, there won't be any coffee shop, there won't be a business woman, there won't be good earnings and favorite place. A woman who is able to become successful in such a situation will say: I will prove to him by deed that I can, I can handle it and I will convince him that this is exactly what I need, he will agree and still be happy for me. I will prove to everyone that I can devote time to both family and work, I will be happy working this way.

The coffee shop is business. And business is suppliers, clients, personnel, document flow, organizational issues and contacts with many structures. You need to be able to negotiate and defend your rightness in each case. This ability is in every woman, only in some it is very deeply hidden.

Behavior and priorities

A sober and competent assessment of one's own positions is the first step towards changing one's life. If a woman is offended by every sideways glance in her direction, calls her husband or someone who can intervene in the situation and solve the problem in her favor at every opportunity, she can’t see the development of her own business, only if this person and will continue to babysit her and do her work for her.

For a successful career, a business woman needs to clearly understand her place in the world and every situation, be able to solve her own and other people's problems with profit, not be lazy and not dump difficulties on others. Simply put, you have to work, and the priority between lying on the couch with a book or finishing the annual report for the tax office on time should definitely be on the report. Even if the sofa will always be much more attractive.

There are no trifles in Tatyana's favorite business - with one hand she rebuilds the company's management system, with the other she personally campaigns to buy a car. She relieves work stress by singing, released two albums of romances.

The first thing to start with is to keep track of time. We will not give hackneyed advice to make a schedule and follow it - you have probably tried this approach, and realized that it is not suitable for everyone. We recommend referring to the productivity methodology of the writer and illustrator Yana Frank:

• Get a notepad or note on your phone;
• Start writing down everything you spend time on;
• Write specific actions, not general ones;
• Specify the exact number of minutes per action.

It looks something like this:

• I wash my face - 5 minutes;
• I brush my teeth - 3 minutes;
• I take a shower - 20 minutes;
• Cooking breakfast - 15 minutes;
• I eat breakfast - 10 minutes;
• I drink coffee - 10 minutes;
• I sit on Instagram - 60 minutes.

If you're doing two things at the same time, write them both down. Of course, you will miss some actions - do not beat yourself up. Hold on for a couple of days and then figure out what you're wasting your time on. It turns out that even in three days you can find a few free hours - although before that it seemed that there was no time at all.

Step 2. Learn to concentrate

It’s not enough just to keep track of time - you need to be able to spend wisely those hours that turned out to be free. Use the Pomodoro Technique.

The point is that you concentrate as much as possible on one thing for a short period - for example, for 20 minutes. Then rest for 5 minutes. And again 20 minutes work.

Use the application on your smartphone or a special site with a Pomodoro timer.

Step 3. Choose a business niche

We analyzed the advice of entrepreneurs on how to become successful business-lady - most often there were two ideas:

• Choose a business to your liking;
• Choose a competitive niche that can be developed.

With the first point, everything is clear - business, at least at first, will have to devote a lot of time. Therefore, it is worth doing what you like - you are unlikely to succeed in the field of financial consulting if the economy makes you sick. It is better to refer to the area in which you are interested.

Yulia Klyueva, founder of the Lady Mary agency, believes that one should always take into account one's own interest in the sphere of future business: “Yes, the financial issue is important. But it shouldn't come first. Initially, you should be interested in the job. If there is no pleasure from work, if you only count money and wait for the working day to end, then this is the psychology of an employee.

The second point is a little more difficult. You need to choose a niche where:

• There is a high demand;
• There is a proposal that the current players can not cope with.

High demand is the interest of people in the product. In a village where people have little money, a boutique of things from Italian fashion designers is unlikely to be in demand. It is better to try to open a SecondHand point or find manufacturers of cheap and durable clothes.

An offer that doesn't work. Here we are talking about business, your future competitors who cannot meet the demand. There may be several reasons:

• They have too small premises and constant queues - you can open a point with similar products and take some of the customers for yourself;
• They cannot keep the quality bar at the right level - for example, there is only one coffee shop in the city. People try drinks there and write angry reviews on the Internet - it's tasteless, the waiters are rude. You can open your own coffee shop, make delicious food and educate your staff.

Pay attention to online business. He does not require big investments, with the proper approach, it quickly pays off. It is easier to analyze supply and demand in such a business than offline.

For example, you love to draw. Check in Yandex.Wordstat how many times a month people search for requests on the topic of learning to draw:

• Fill in the form on the Wordstat website with the key phrases “learning to draw online”, “online drawing school”, “online drawing courses” and others that reflect the interest of users.
• It turned out more than two thousand people for only three key phrases.

The query "Learn to draw online" is the "straight" key. The user who is looking for this is directly interested in learning. Ask yourself the question - what else can people potentially interested in developing drawing skills in school look for? Check out the popularity of these questions.

Then check if there are many online painting schools open now. You can find out using a search in Yandex. Pay attention to the screenshot - the sites that are promoted with the help of advertising, that is, for money, are highlighted in red.

Conclusion - if you are interested in the option of opening an online drawing school, it is worth a try.

Step 4: Start a business

Don't try to wait for the perfect moment to launch your business - it won't come anyway. Successful businessmen are determined and ready to act. You came up with an idea, analyzed a niche - it's time to act.

Write a business plan. Do not try to predict future income and build a financial strategy for years to come. Calculate the break-even point and compare all costs

Divide the main expenses into one-time and recurring. Better make a table - for clarity. We show on the example of an online school:

Make a table based on your future business

The break-even point is the amount you need to earn per month in order to break even. In the case of an online school, it is easy to calculate it - no matter how many clients there will be at the webinar, this does not affect the costs. If you are thinking of a business in another area, do not forget to take into account the increase in expenses depending on the number of customers.

In the case of our example, the expense is 16,500 rubles per month. If a webinar is sold for 5,500 rubles, then to reach the “zero” point, you need to sell the course to three clients. Everything else is pure profit.

Scale business lines. If you decide to hold a drawing master class, think about attracting experts and creating an online school. It turned out to hold a series of webinars on photography - similarly, go to the level of the producer and deal with the packaging and promotion of courses.

Step 5: Find passive sources of income

A successful business woman does not rely only on active income generation. Consider earning passive income:

• Make a bank deposit;
• Buy currency - 50/50 in euros and dollars;
• Explore the possibilities of investing in stocks of large companies.

Take a closer look at your business. An entrepreneur often overlooks the obvious ways to earn extra money and free up their time. For example, in the case of an online school, there are such opportunities:

• When you have held webinars, "pack" the recordings into a video course and sell at a reduced price - it will be fair, because the audience will not receive feedback, unlike those who attended the master class;
• Make a newsletter for satisfied customers and sell a new course;
• Register in affiliate programs and invite webmasters to sell your product;
• Participate in earnings on affiliate programs - once you have a website to advertise your business, you can earn on it by advertising other people's proven products.

Step 6. Keep moving

Don't stop there. A real business woman is constantly developing, both in the professional sphere and in the personal one:

• Open new directions in an already operating business;
• Consider buying ready business- money should not just be earned, but invested;
• Open another business, then another.
• Engage in self-development:

Teach foreign languages. Pay attention to promising languages ​​- for example, Chinese. Use DuoLingo to get started. Perhaps you will like it and open an online Chinese language school? There is demand in this niche;

• Participate in trainings and seminars - before buying, study reviews and check trainers;
• Read more - both business books and fiction.

Do not forget to relax and play sports - a successful business woman not only earns a lot, but also lives in harmony with herself and the world around her.

Today, women around the world are breaking down stereotypes about themselves and proving that they have necessary qualities in order to become successful entrepreneurs.

There are several practical advice which will help every woman to develop her business acumen and at the same time reveal her natural charm. However, it is worth taking the issue seriously in advance. You will need to spend a lot of time and effort to become a business lady.

1. Read about successful women

A lot of girls have made a career from scratch. Their stories are motivating. Acquaintance with other people's destinies helps to better understand what the path to success actually looks like and what obstacles await you.

Read biographies successful women. There are many secrets of professional experience and a bold outlook on life in such books. Among others, whose words are worth listening to, I would like to note:

Sheryl Sandberg. Dare to Take Action: Woman, Work, and the Will to Lead was written and published not just by an American entrepreneur, but by a member of the Facebook board of directors. Sandberg boldly discusses issues such as the low level of women's participation in corporate and government leadership, wage inequality, the difficulty of balancing career ambitions and raising children. Cheryl encourages women in all countries not to lose faith in themselves, take risks and support other ladies.

Anne Marie Slaughter. A professor at Princeton University, Ann-Marie wrote an important article in the Atlantic back in 2012 called "Why Women Can't Have Everything." The material made a lot of noise and caused heated discussions. In it, the author looked at all the difficulties she faced as director of policy planning in Hillary Clinton's department and as a mother of two sons. Slaughter advocated social policy editing in the article and spoke out against the compromises women make in the workplace to play by the current rules of society.

Hillary Clinton. There is no need to talk about the significance and richness of the experience of the former Secretary of State and US presidential candidate once again. Clinton has long fought for women's rights. He advocates for the extension of vacations and financial incentives for young female scientists. She says that it is necessary to expand the capabilities of the beautiful half of humanity so that it helps the development of the economy.

2. Do a mini-research

The next step to becoming a business woman is getting to know those who inspire you more closely. Study women who are successful in the industry where you plan to build a career. This will give an idea of ​​concrete practical steps.

Find out what schools and courses women in your industry have attended. View a list of their internships, work in the country and abroad.

Try to understand what led these women to success. Use knowledge to develop own plan careers.

Alternatively, identify areas where women have been historically least in demand. For example, mathematics, engineering, computer science. By pursuing a career in one of these areas, a woman encourages other girls to work in these sectors.

3. Think about how to combine family and work

The biggest problem for women is the balance between work and family life. Usually girls are in their childbearing years when they are trying to succeed. Research shows that the majority of women leave their jobs because of conflicts or unfavorable workplace conditions related to parental status.

The best way to fix this and strike a balance is to find a company that offers social policy taking into account the interests of parents. Paid maternity leave, flexible working hours and the ability to work remotely.

4. Tackle pay inequality

Despite progress in terms of the number of women in the labor sector and leadership positions There are many problems in the labor market. Chief among them is unequal pay. Women can earn less than men and still do the same job.

This problem arises from underestimating oneself as a professional. In order to overcome this difficulty you must:

Learn to negotiate and sell your skills.

Don't accept salary offers right away. Keep negotiating if you think you are being underestimated.

Don't be afraid to ask for a raise. For guidance, find out the salary range for your position in your company and outside of it. If you are not satisfied with the amount, be prepared to remind you of your contribution to the success of the company.

5. Become confident and resilient

People will feel you the way you feel yourself. When a woman projects confidence, it is transmitted to others. In this case, you should not be self-confident. Correct gestures, body language and positive affirmations - statements about yourself will help you work on yourself.

One of the most enduring stereotypes about women in business is that they are weak and emotional. The best way to overcome these stereotypes is to disprove them. Develop qualities that are more inherent in girls by nature: perseverance, the ability to focus on a task for a long time, attention to small details, loyalty.

In order to gain respect and become a business lady, be assertive and stubborn. Transmit this manner through conversation. Rationally perceive criticism, the analysis of which - important factor success. Distinguish between destructive and constructive criticism. The latter has good intentions. It is aimed at your development, and the first one consists of accusations.

6. Find your passion in life and follow it

To become a business woman and reach the top, a woman must be passionate about what she does. It motivates and gives strength to work in stressful conditions. Not every person has an existing passion, and it can take a long time before they identify the cause that inspires them.

We talked in detail about how to find your calling.

7. Get Organized

Success is the result of long-term planning and daily action. good organization help you get control of your time.

Learn to prioritize. Set a big long-term goal and break it down into small daily steps. Make to-do lists for the day.

Finish one task before starting another. Multitasking is overrated. It leads to massive errors in the work.

Focus on what's important. Remind yourself of your long-term goals and revise them as needed.

8. Don't Forget About Creativity

Creativity is holistic thinking using imagination, intuition, logic and critical analysis. A true leader must think in an original way and come up with creative solutions.

To help develop the idea:

Observation of people in their places of congestion
New acquaintances
Reading books
Keeping a diary
Meditation
Creativity exercises
Refusal of typical behavior patterns

We talked more about how to continuously generate ideas.

9. Get a good education and don't stop there

A college degree shows that you are a person who wants to learn. good school, courses, university - all this will help you score points when applying for a job and make useful contacts with people from your professional field. But do not be afraid to admit that you still do not know something and you need to improve your skills further. Regularly look for and "absorb" information in your area of ​​specialization. Go to third-party seminars, or even better, find yourself a mentor.

10. Be willing to work hard

This is the most important item on the list on how to become a business woman. No matter how much a woman has higher education and what experience, she will have to work hard on the road to success. No one ends up at the top of a career just like that, without sacrifice and due diligence. If you're having a hard time, remind yourself that the rewards will be worth the effort. Try to focus on work and communicate with motivated people whom you consider to be like-minded people. Upgrade your skills.

Long gone are the days when the fairer sex was engaged exclusively in housework. Many modern women establish business connections make a career or start their own business. We will talk about how to become a business woman from scratch in this article.

Children's beauty salon

If you are concerned about the question of how to become a business woman and open your own business, pay attention to the beauty industry. This line of business brings good profits at any time.

Rent a small space and open a beauty salon for children. Haircutting a child is a rather troublesome task that not every professional can handle. Hire hairdressers who love children and enjoy working with them. You can hire young professionals who have just completed their studies and do not know.
