MWH 099 : The Importance of Accelerating Female Entrepreneurship with Jessica Thomas from Health Lab - a podcast by Tracy Harris

The Importance of Accelerating Female Entrepreneurship with Jessica Thomas





Did you know that less than one third of businesses are started by women in Australia? As a hard-working bizmum, I am well aware that female entrepreneurialism is still grossly underrepresented in Australia, and if I'm being honest, all over the world. Though many women are constantly working towards shattering through the thickest and hardest glass ceiling, plenty of women are still afraid to start their own business.



Today's guest is going to discuss how important it is for all of us to band together and accelerate female entrepreneurship for the benefit of the economy and future generations.

THIS WEEK'S PODCAST

Jessica Thomas is the founder of Health Lab. An Australian brand that makes uncomplicated, natural and delicious healthy on-the-go snacks and drinks. Jessica is a Melbourne based biz babe who became fed up with climbing the corporate ladder. She launched her business with a laptop, a dream and lots of passion. The business has formed strong partnerships with Nike, The Australian Open, Cotton On, The AFL, The AFL Women’s League and MORE. Jessica is sharing her thoughts and lessons on Female Entrepreneurialism with us today.

I don’t believe there is ever a perfect time to start a business and the world doesn’t wait for you to be ready. So that idea you keep on thinking about? Don’t waste time waiting for the perfect time to start or worrying about what might not work. Focus on putting your energy into what will work and just take the first step, even if it's small.
