Summary
“I got really obsessed with how important it is, particularly for women, to be able to earn an income and own their own business,” says Elizabeth Gore, co-founder and president of Hello, Alice, a platform that provides over 1 million SMB with the funding, networks, and resources needed to achieve equitable capital. She currently serves as the Emeritus Chair of the United Nations Global Entrepreneurs Council and served the UN for nearly a decade as Vice President of Global Partnerships founding strategic grassroots efforts like Nothing But Nets Girls Up and Shot at Life. People magazine named her one of its “Top 100 Extraordinary Women,” Fast Company called her one of the “Most Creative People in Business,” and she was named one of Entrepreneur Magazine’s “Women to Watch.” Come on in and meet Elizabeth!
Top takeaways from today’s episode:
- Apply for grants. There are many out there and they’re an underutilized resource.
- Know your numbers–all of them–from the day you start.
Quotes
• “The power of referrals is nuts. I mean, if you really foster a trusted community, they are going to be your number one advertiser.” (28:47-28:56 | Elizabeth)
• “Surround yourself with the most talented people you can. Even if you're pre hiring, that means advisors, it means talking to your customers. And then when you do start hiring folks, never relinquish that to someone else ” (39:14-39:30 | Elizabeth)
• “Self care. I feel very strongly that entrepreneurs tend to be very fast-driving, accomplished people and we tend to leave ourselves out. But you cannot run a business over the long-term if you're exhausted all the time.” (39:34-40:00 | Elizabeth)
