3 Toxic Myths Burning Out Women-Owned Businesses

What I saw on Shark Tank the other week perfectly illustrated the toxic business myths that are burning women out left and right. A college student with impeccable numbers and a highly profitable business didn't land a deal (not because his business wasn't amazing, but because he wasn't "hustling" enough). He was still in school, which meant he wasn't sacrificing everything, and that somehow made him less worthy of investment. Meanwhile, another couple with terrible numbers got a deal because they were broke and sleeping in garages. Friends, we need to talk about this.If you're a woman who's also a caregiver, these lies hit differently. When conventional business wisdom tells you that real entrepreneurs sacrifice everything, work 80-hour weeks, and achieve overnight success, it's sending a subtle message: you can't do this. But here's the truth... those are complete myths, and I'm living proof that there's another way to build a successful business without burning yourself out.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why the "sacrifice everything" mentality is toxic for women entrepreneursThe overnight success lie that's setting unrealistic expectationsThe two-option growth trap that leads to burnout and plateausHow these myths are causing women to close profitable businessesWhy conventional business advice fails women (especially caregivers)Mentioned in the episode: TOP Operations is now open for enrollment!
