Overall, starting a business is a difficult task and often you need to search for information or join groups to learn how to grow it and find clients, this is why organisations such as:

She Means Business – an American platform created by a woman spotlighting women entrepreneurs with strategies, stories and resources for brand building. The founder is a lady called Ashley Holt who's goal is to supports women in leadership and entrepreneurial growth.

Ladies Who Launch – is a non-profit American organisation created by two women specifically Sarah Friar and Kelly McGonigle which empowers and funds women and non-binary entrepreneurs through education and support programs aiming to uplift women in business.

Several businesses and news outlets have created services or programmes to help those looking to start a business and one I like a lot is called Breaking Barriers, this title is widely used to highlight women’s progress and challenges in business and media, including on CNN spotlighting women’s achievements. This is why it is also the name of my weekly Zoom call named Breaking Barriers for Women, created to help women overcome life’s challenges and become financially independent by starting and growing successful businesses. My goal is to help you create the business of your dreams by sharing all the knowledge I have acquired over the years during these free online meetings.

Should you be interested to learn more about them, or join these weekly calls and help spread the word by inviting other women who are ready to learn, grow and explore entrepreneurship, simply search for OFERA Services and Workshops Facebook page on Google to get more details about the time and date.! It is also the occasion to promote what you do and network.

Together, we will explore what it takes to launch a successful business, build confidence and support one another on our entrepreneurial journeys.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
