Minding Her Biz – What a fabulous idea!
This month I was chosen as the Minding Her Biz candidate for July. I had my meeting yesterday and brought my trusty sidekick and fellow entrepreneur (future Mary Kay director), Gwen Tautimez, with me to take notes while I shared my next big business idea with a room of complete strangers. Nervous? A little, but once I got comfortable talking with these women and hearing their input, I could see that my plan of action needed a bit of fine tuning. Totally doable.
When it’s our idea, we’re so quick to think the idea can stand on its own two feet when clearly it can’t. We don’t see these gaps because we’re too close to it, and friends and family don’t see them because they’re trying to be nice and supportive. We’re entrepreneurs. Nice doesn’t cut it sometimes.
First thing out of these ladies’ mouths was, “We’re not your friends, so we will give you our honest feedback without holding anything back.” Good. Just what I needed to hear. They had no vested interest in my idea, just for the two hours where we could brainstorm ideas to move it forward.
I learned a lot from these women and would highly recommend them to any other aspiring entrepreneurs, or even established ones, to see if the idea holds weight. Believe they do remote calls, too, for those outside of the Phoenix area.
