What actually keeps women entrepreneurs in business long-term?After 5 years in business, I've learned that staying power has very little to do with talent, luck, or perfect strategy and everything to do with mindset, consistency, conviction, and emotional resilience.In this episode, I'm sharing the real reasons some women build sustainable, long-term businesses while others burn out, pivot constantly, or quietly walk away. We're talking about visibility, self-trust, investing in growth, loving what you sell, and managing the emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship.Connect with me: EMAIL ME: theperryrichardson@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠22 Journal Prompts ( Free Guide)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram (the.mindsetbabe)⁠Keywords: women entrepreneurs, women in business, female entrepreneur podcast, online business for women, sustainable business growth, long-term business success, mindset for entrepreneurs, business mindset, consistency in business, visibility and marketing, selling with confidence, self-trust in business, emotional resilience for entrepreneurs, women building a business, entrepreneurship podcast for women, scaling an online business, business growth strategies, female founder advice, leadership for women, staying consistent in business

From Washington, D.C. to the Brooklyn waterfront, Lindsay Green shares how a career in finance evolved into a mission to transform industrial spaces into engines of opportunity for underserved communities.Lindsay Green is the President and CEO of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where she leads one of New York City's most ambitious models for inclusive economic development. With more than 550 businesses and 11,000 employees on site, the Navy Yard is not simply a real estate portfolio but a living ecosystem designed to create quality jobs and connect local residents to meaningful careers. Her work blends business strategy, workforce development, and community engagement into a powerful example of how cities can rethink the purpose of former industrial spaces.Her journey began in Washington, D.C., where daily exposure to economic disparities shaped her desire to work at the intersection of business and community impact. After studying economics at Harvard and starting her career in investment banking at Goldman Sachs, she discovered urban development through the Urban Investment Group under Alicia Glen. Mentorship from leaders like Glen and MIT professor Phil Thompson helped her shift from traditional finance to mission driven economic development. A detour into the food industry after Yale School of Management eventually led her back to this work, culminating in her leadership at the Navy Yard in 2022.Lindsay explains how the Brooklyn Navy Yard goes beyond affordable real estate to support small, women owned, and minority owned businesses with mentorship, capital access, and technical advisory services. She highlights the Brooklyn STEAM Center, a public high school that gives 600 students hands on training with industry grade equipment, as well as new adult reskilling programs that recognize the value of both digital and analog problem solving. Through initiatives like the Micro Business Accelerator Program, she is building pathways for entrepreneurs to start small, grow, and scale within a supportive ecosystem.This conversation explores leadership, economic mobility, and the importance of early exposure to career possibilities. Lindsay's work demonstrates that revitalizing industrial spaces can do more than preserve history. It can create futures. Tune in to hear how thoughtful economic development can reshape communities and expand opportunity for the next generation.Chapters:00:00

After 25 years in corporate America, Jen Polt took the biggest risk of her life - quitting her executive job to become a full-time content creator and confidence coach.

Marketing doesn't usually fail because you're not good at what you do. Not at all!No - often it fails because you're being too careful.In this episode, I'll walk you through 3 marketing patterns I've seen repeatedly in recent coaching calls — patterns that dilute your message, confuse potential clients, and make growth harder than it has to be.The fixes are simpler than you might think. In this episode, you'll hear:Why “leaving the door open” can actually keep your best people from walking in.The difference between simply describing your skills and speaking directly to your ideal client.How clarity — not volume — creates TRUE momentum in your marketing…Why people wait far too long to ask for help (and what shifts when they don't!)You'll also learn why your marketing often improves faster when you stop trying to do it alone. You can speak more clearly, attract the clients you actually want, and stop second-guessing your message.If this episode stirred something — a sense that your work is solid, but your message isn't quite landing — that's usually the moment to pause and get support.A Quick Start Consult isn't about fixing everything.It's about naming what matters most next — and getting clear faster than you can on your own.You don't need more ideas.You need sharper focus...Learn more or book yours at:

I'm saying the quiet part out loud: if you don't build your sales muscle, growth stalls - no matter how talented you are. In this episode, Julia Arpag, CEO and Founder of Aligned Recruitment, shares with me how she went from five weeks postpartum and laid off to building a seven-figure tech recruitment firm by treating selling as service, investing early in mentorship, and using LinkedIn + networking like a real funnel.Julia's journey began in August 2023 when she was unexpectedly laid off while on maternity leave. What could have been a destabilizing moment became the catalyst for something extraordinary. While briefly accepting a W-2 role, she started selling for a friend's startup recruitment venture on the side. Within months, she closed three retainer clients. That early traction forced a pivotal decision: continue playing it safe, or step fully into entrepreneurship despite fears around sales, taxes, and “not knowing enough.” She chose the leap. Rather than trying to figure everything out alone, Julia invested her earliest earnings into mentorship by hiring an executive coach who had sold a recruitment agency for $28 million, a LinkedIn writing coach, and systems experts. Inspired by Carol Dweck's Mindset and the philosophy of “Who Not How,” she built her sales muscle, reframed selling as service, and adopted a growth mindset that became foundational to Aligned Recruitment's rapid success. She reminds us that for women entrepreneurs especially, seeking support is often the difference between staying small and scaling meaningfully. We also explored Julia's tactical wisdom as a recruiter, including why job seekers should treat their search like a sales funnel, how to optimize LinkedIn to be discovered, and why networking consistently outperforms cold online applications. At a deeper level, Julia challenges the idea that business success must come at the cost of personal well-being. Her philosophy is clear: build a business around your life, not the other way around. This conversation is a powerful reminder for all of us that profitability, purpose, and peace can coexist. Tune in to hear my conversation with Julia Arpag and how she is redefining what it looks like for women to lead, sell, and scale without losing themselves in the process. Chapters: 01:12

I Wanted A Fancy Studio, Got A Living Room, And Accidentally Built A CommunityWhat happens when the person who built the room for everyone else's story finally sits in the guest chair? Jessica LeGare - former podcast guest and guest host - opens up the door to Kelly's living-room studio and traces the path from a drying mortgage pipeline and a growing family to a mission-driven show that helps mothers and entrepreneurs reclaim their color, voice, and courage.We explore the real start line: fear of hosting solo after co-hosted shows, the practical constraints that killed the fancy studio dream, and the surprising benefits of welcoming guests into a warm home where walls come down and stories breathe. Kelly unpacks the flamingo-pink metaphor—how motherhood and business can drain your hue—and how daily choices, faith, and community bring it back. Along the way, she reveals the unromantic backbone of podcasting: systems, editing decisions, consistent cadence, and simple gear that actually works. The takeaway is equal parts strategic and soulful: build SOPs, protect long-form depth, and choose formats you can sustain.Themes that show up across 80+ interviews get a spotlight: pivots and leap-of-faith decisions, the tension between perfectionism and progress, and the quiet grief of outgrowing old circles while forming a truer tribe. We talk about boundaries, sponsorships that match the mission, and a bolder vision that still feels personal. Kelly shares her “bookend” self-care—morning prayer, short reflections, nervous-system resets—that keep the creative well full when schedules and toddlers collide. If you've been searching for a grounded guide to podcasting, identity, and women's entrepreneurship, this conversation feels like a hand on your shoulder and a nudge forward.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a powerhouse mama who needs a lift, and leave a quick review to help more women find their color again.

In this milestone 100th episode of The Real Women Real Business Podcast, Shauna Lynn Simon tackles one of the most common and costly patterns she sees in women entrepreneurs - people pleasing. What often starts as being helpful or accommodating quietly turns into burnout, resentment, and a business built around everyone else's urgency. Shauna Lynn breaks down how people pleasing shows up in real business decisions, from bending policies to rescuing clients and saying yes to timelines that are not yours to carry.

Paige Arnof-Fenn shares how to stop competing on price by sharpening brand positioning, owning a niche, and turning reputation + referrals into consistent demand.In this episode, Paige Arnof-Fenn shares her journey from investment banking to branding powerhouse and discovering her true calling in marketing, building a distributed firm long before remote work was mainstream, and detailing how to turn expertise into profitable, high-impact businesses. Paige is the founder and CEO of Mavens & Moguls, a global branding and digital marketing firm that has worked with clients like Microsoft, Virgin, The New York Times Company, and Colgate. Her path to entrepreneurship didn't begin with a clear plan, but with a series of courageous pivots that led her from Wall Street to marketing leadership at P&G and Coca-Cola, and eventually to building her own agency. Along the way, she learned that success is less about following a script and more about honoring the parts of work that energize you.The turning points in Paige's story are rooted in self-awareness and bold action. After realizing investment banking didn't align with her values or passion, she shifted into marketing, first through business school, then by shaping brand strategy at major corporations and startups. She watched the internet industry emerge in the late '90s and embraced it, later using the post-9/11 job market as a catalyst to launch her own business. What could have been a moment of fear became the start of a 24-year journey building a thriving firm with a distributed team across multiple cities and countries.Paige's most powerful insights center on clarity, niche, and validation. She encourages women entrepreneurs to treat themselves as a brand, not a commodity, and to build businesses based on real market research, not friendly feedback. She champions differentiation through specificity, sharing how dominating one niche beats trying to please everyone, and explains how profitability is the foundation for meaningful impact.Paige's story is a celebration of women's leadership, resilience, and the power of building businesses that create real change. If you're ready to rethink what entrepreneurship can look like, and how to build it with intention and confidence, this conversation is for you. Tune in and be inspired.Chapters00:56

From courtroom litigator to emotionally intelligent mediator, Katherine Eisold Miller shares how she is reshaping divorce into a process grounded in clarity, compassion, and agency for women navigating one of life's hardest transitions.Today, I sit down with Katherine Miller, founder of the Miller Law Group and a New York-based divorce attorney, mediator, author, and podcast host who is changing the cultural conversation around divorce. Coming from a family of therapists, Katherine saw early in her legal career that traditional litigation focused on winning rather than helping people through deeply personal crises. Her work now centers on mediation and emotionally savvy decision-making, empowering women to move through divorce without losing themselves in the process.Katherine opens up about her early years handling hundreds of child welfare and litigation cases and the moment she realized there had to be a better way. With nearly all divorces settling outside of trial, she chose to pursue mediation training to help people make thoughtful decisions aligned with their real priorities. That pivot marked a powerful shift from adversarial problem-solving to collaborative clarity, especially for women who often carry the emotional and financial weight of family transitions.We dive into the art of listening beyond surface-level demands to uncover what truly matters, whether in divorce, entrepreneurship, or leadership. Katherine explains how interrupting destructive conflict patterns creates space for solutions that honor both parties' needs. She also shares why conversations about money, prenuptial agreements, and financial values are not signs of failure, but foundations for stronger partnerships and healthier outcomes.This conversation is a reminder that leadership begins with self-trust, preparation, and the courage to ask better questions. Katherine's insights offer women permission to approach divorce without shame, fear, or defaulting to systems that do not serve them. If you care about agency, emotional intelligence, and building a life that reflects your values, you will want to listen all the way through.Chapters
