CONFIDENCE IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP | Challenges I Face Being a Young, Black, Woman Business-Owner
CONFIDENCE IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP | BEING A YOUNG, BLACK AND WOMAN BUSINESS-OWNER
Confidence is just as, if not more, important in life than competence. There are some really dumb, yet confident, people in positions of power. Being an entrepreneur takes an incredible amount of confidence for things you probably would never expect. I’m a little over 7 months into being a full-time business owner and confidence is something that I am actively working on building.
In this video, I’m discussing 5 unexpected situations you need confidence for in entrepreneurship, and share a recent personal experience that truly put my confidence to the test.
I hope this video helps you know that you are not alone… that confidence takes constant action and effort… to be patient with your evolution.

I'm Erin and I'm a new full-time entrepreneur. I'm super excited to take you all along this crazy ride as I build my business from the ground up. Starting a business is much more than what influencers make it seem. It takes grit, hard work, and a lot of learning along the way. I'm taking you through the trenches and on the mountaintops with me, giving you a good look inside the life of a startup entrepreneur.

I absolutely love this video thank you for sharing. So glad I found your channel and I’m sincerely looking forward to seeing your growth and following the journey ❤️❤️❤️
I am put into a lot of situations as a female sales representative where the “guys” of the group will often try to over power the tone of my voice. As a woman I struggle with wanting to remain poised, while also confident in a way that I don’t seem too uptight.
How does one remain persistent without being annoying or seeming too straight forward?
When my demeanor reflects these characteristics I don’t seem to get the answer I’m looking for or i am just completely ignored. Tips?
Regarding the cold calling, I just watched a webinar where the instructor said that when she first started out she would pretend she was representing herself. For example, if your name is Mary you would call the potential client and say "Hi I'm Sarah and I represent Mary Joe with XYZ Company…". This not only makes your business look more professional because you have staff or an assistant, it puts some space between you and the client so you feel less intimidated and more confident.
Miss i need advice do you think its wise to pursue a degree in Journalism or Communications. Because i read your YouTube Bio and it seemed a like you were riding a career Bull you where just all over the place. I just wanted clarity on the matter and maybe what approach to take concerning finding a career in a particular area concerning media.
All kind of goodness and juicy ideas wrapped up in one video and tied up in a bow! Best believe that you still feel like you have bubble guts with every stage of entrepreneurship and growth. So frustrating but rewarding!
I am a young African American woman, in a male dominated feild, I am a mechanic, I am so thankful for this. I recently took a skills test called talify and I scored extremely high in every area accept *confidence*. I can see how lack of confidence has affected my ability to generate income. I have been overlooked, viewed a sexual object ( told, "you can bend over my car anytime!), even laughed at when I present myself and explain my skills. The mental frustration has made me want to quit several times. I am working to created a service driven business and it is really hard to keep putting yourself out there when you get belittled and shut down so much. I am ordering the book you highlighted. Thanks for sharing! I am really loving your content! Please keep it coming. It definitely helps when you know you aren't the only one. Videos like this help build the determination to push through. Thank you Erin!!!

I definitely been hearing "Do it scared" alot and I just love the meaning behind it.

I’m loving your channel thus far. I subbed the first video I saw of yours! Relatable.
