Women-owned businesses are significant contributors to the economy. And the number of businesses founded by women in many countries out-pacing overall new business growth. Despite this women face significant obstacles when it comes to starting businesses. While there are many factors that contribute to this, one aspect has to do our relationship to money.

It’s no surprise that women face obstacles in accessing capital and funding. But if we go deeper than that women often have a tenuous, at best, relationship with money. Growing up many didn’t have good role models to follow, weren’t taught how to manage money and/or weren’t expected to develop that relationship. It also has a lot to do with how worthy a person feels and let’s face it in many cultures and families women are made to feel “less than”.

This has consequences in both life and business, in personal finances and indefinitely when it come to pricing in your business. In my experience pricing comes down to competence and confidence. I’ve seen how people’s mindsets about money impact their pricing behavior. That’s why I’ve brought two Money experts on to the show to have this conversation.

In this episode, I’ve invited Ilana Jankowitz, Money Mindset expert back to the show and Clara Creitz, an expert in Personal Finance for Women, to help me explore the topic of Women and Money. The panel discussion format is something I’ve been wanting to bring to the show for a while. They share about their own journeys and their insights about women and money, including what we do well. As well as some of the things we struggle with and how to start breaking free of them.

If there’s anything I’ve learned in starting my own business it’s that it’s a personal journey more than anything else. Mindset around money for most of us, plays a huge role in our success.
