When it comes to business, most successful women have a ‘want it all’ kind of attitude. This drive is one of the biggest contributions to their success. According to Laura Vanderkam, a renowned author, “People seem to have this idea that having a full-time job leaves no space for many other things, but clearly that’s not true.”
In an interview for Business Insider, she shared, “It is quite possible to have a more than full-time job and have a very full personal life, too. It’s just a matter of where that time goes.”
Here are three successful women entrepreneurs who you should be lookup to:
Stephanie Parker – Co-founder of Sleeping Baby
Parker and her husband had problems getting their baby to fall asleep. Nothing seemed to work in the parent’s favor, so, Stephanie Parker decided to tackle the problem on her own. She created the first ever Zipadee-Zip pajama suit. Within no time at all, her solution to her child’s sleeping problems became a $1 million dollar business.
Theresa Krier – Founder of Big T NYC
US Tea Association claims that the demand for tea has boosted over the years. Theresa Krier identified this demand and decided to make the most out of it. In 2013, she started her tea business which took off quickly. Within two years of setting up, her tea is now available on the shelves of grocery stores and menus of coffee shops across the nation.
Bridget Hilton – Founder of LSTN
There are 360 million individuals who have hearing disabilities, about 48 million of them reside in the US. Hilton gives individuals with a hearing impairment the gift of sound through the sales of her headphones called LSTN. Profits earned help fund solutions for hearing impairment and are used to raise awareness about hearing loss. So far, she has raised enough to help 20,000 individuals already throughout the US, China, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Peru, and Kenya.

Reason #1: Different styles and methods of business coaching don't work for everyone
It's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.
Every individual brings their own experiences and values to the coaching dynamic, so results will vary. Additionally, some individuals might need more than just a coach. They might also need specialised knowledge or communication strategies specific to their industry or target audience. Below are a few key factors to consider:
Reason #2: There is no clear focus or vision (talk about time dedication here too)
cIt's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.
Business coaching is an effective tool for developing a clearer focus and vision for growing your business. A good coach will help you to take a comprehensive look at your strengths, weaknesses, and available resources that can be used to reach those goals. They will also help you draw up action plans with step-by-step instructions to get there.
By providing honest feedback and being patient throughout the process, a business coach can make sure that you’re on the right track. This will enable you to set realistic milestones and tasks.
These tasks may need dedicated time outside of coaching sessions. For example, a coach might help a client develop a marketing strategy or implement new systems for managing employees. However, if the client does not have enough time to devote to these tasks outside of coaching sessions, progress will likely stall.
Both the coach and the client must have enough time available to reflect on past experiences, brainstorm new solutions, and test out different strategies. If either party is rushed or distracted during coaching sessions due to other commitments or obligations, they may struggle to fully engage in this process.
Effective business coaching also requires a commitment to regular meetings and ongoing communication. If either the coach or the client does not have enough time to dedicate to these meetings, progress may be slow or nonexistent.
It's important to recognise that business coaching is an ongoing process that takes time to yield results. While some clients may see improvements after just a few sessions with their coach. Others may need months or even years of consistent effort before they begin seeing real changes in their businesses.
