The Best Way to Network with Other Female Business Owners with Camille Burns, CEO of Women Presidents Organization

“Meet other women,” advises Camille Burns, CEO of Women Presidents Organization, “You do not need to do this alone.” WPO's mission is to help second-stage female entrepreneurs around the world take their companies to the next level of success. At any stage of one’s career, though, being an entrepreneur can be quite lonely, and being a female founder has its own unique set of challenges. This is why a network of fellow females is so important. In this episode, Camille details strategies for networking and finding mentors, reinforcing the importance of meeting in person or with an intentional LinkedIn message. Se reiterates that you cannot be hesitant to reach out. Most successful people want to give back, help and pay forward what others have done for them.Asking for help is part of being vulnerable, which is difficult but necessary to growth as an entrepreneur. Women tend to want to do it all, but it’s important to delegate work to the most qualified people around you, especially as you continue to grow. Another aspect of being vulnerable is not being afraid to admit your failures. This helps other people learn from your mistakes and also realize no one is alone in making them. It also helps to mitigate the pressure we feel when it looks like everyone else is effortlessly succeeding while we’re struggling.Risk is at the heart of entrepreneurship, and women especially need to not be afraid to put themselves out there and continue to do so even when things go wrong. Things will always go wrong. Take the lessons learned from your mistakes, and continue moving forward.Quotes• “I think it’s really important for female founders to understand what their unique talents are, and as they grow the company, quickly find people who fill the roles that they can have other people fill.  (9:46-9:59 | Camille)• “I think you’d be surprised at how many business owners and successful people want to give back and want to help.” (27:15-27:18 | Camille)• “Letting go is huge. Don’t carry the failures of yesterday into tomorrow. Take them as learning opportunities and let go. Move forward.” (34:35-34:46 | Camille)Connect with Camille BurnsWebsite | https://www.women-presidents.com/LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/womenpresidentsorganization/Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!You can now work with Lindsay 1:1 to build and monetize your community through the same method she used to grow and scale her business.
