The Calgary Herald reported in its 'Small Business' section on February 13th 2008 that 87% of all small businesses fail in the first year. We think that is unacceptable!
Mandie Crawford penned over 125 columns for the Hamilton Spectator between 2003 and 2006 on women in business and reflects on the interviews and the success rates.
| "I have interviewed over 600 women in business in the last four years. Only 30% of these businesses are still in business. After returning to interview the women whose businesses have grown - I found 3 key elements that contributed to their success. Education, Coaching and Mentorship." - Mandie Crawford. (Roaring Women Founder and President) |
Coaching, Education and Mentorship
In a press release issued by the Royal Bank of Canada in October of 2007, it was announced that over 900,000 Canadians wish to start their own business within the next year. Using statistics collected over the last several years, chances are that women will lead this growth phenomenon. Although small businesses are opening in record numbers – their failure rate continues to outstrip the momentous growth. Over 80% of small businesses fail in the first 5 years.
For this reason the Roaring Women Founder has decided to use a grass roots approach to changing the success rates of women in business. Beginning March 8th The Coaching Coach will launch a 6 week cross Canada tour - offering free group coaching to women entrepreneurs. In an informal question and answer format, Crawford will answer questions about strategies for success and offer guidance and information may women are afraid to ask for. She will also provide her signature motivating and cutting-edge presentations. From marketing strategies to setting up systems to better automate their businesses, Crawford will address all areas of business including using technology and getting the attention of the media.
In addition, Blogs, Radio shows, and a special site will be launched with videos and a forum to keep questions and answers accessible to everyone. Crawford ran several pilot coaching sessions in 2007 with phenomenal results. Here is only one video testimonial.
