Phrases like empowered women, women empowerment, and positively empowered are thrown around more often these past few years. But what if they are doing more harm than good when it comes to encouraging women to start new businesses? Women empowering other women to become entrepreneurs – Is that a good thing?

Phrases like empowered women, women empowerment, and positively empowered are thrown around more often these past few years.
They were part of movements to encourage women’s equality, increase female-owned businesses and authority in the workplace.
And although those are important topics – do you know what the word EMPOWER means?
verb
While most women use the term to help women be stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their lives and claiming their rights – if you really dissect the meaning, I don’t think ANY WOMAN needs to be given authority or permission to do something.
They shouldn’t need someone else to give them the okay to speak their minds, start a business, or sit in top positions within a company.
If you really think about it – EMPOWERING women is hurting the increase in female business owners. They think they need permission.
Women should never be on the receiving end of power – waiting for it to be given to them, waiting to be empowered. Ummmm, no thanks! This is 2021, and we don’t need anyone to allow us to do something.
Anne Frank once said ….
“Everyone has inside of her a piece of good news. The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!” – Anne Frank.
I was reading an article written by Sallie Krawcheck, the chairman of a professional women’s network, and she said, “It can’t be about “empowerment” any longer. To make real progress, it has to be about power—using and growing the power we women already have.”
When I read this, I knew this topic needed to be discussed on this podcast. Us women don’t need to be empowered! We don’t need permission to show up, speak out, or start a business.
What we should be doing is helping each other recognize the power we already possess. Now that power may be covered up in layers of self-doubt and fear, but it’s still there, just waiting to come alive.
Starting today, I’m removing the word EMPOWER from all my marketing and instead using the word ENCOURAGE.
When used as a verb encourage means: (verb) – give support, confidence, or hope to (someone).
I encourage women to take control of their lives with grace, strength, and confidence to serve others. This means I’m not here to GIVE you power – but to help you find it deep within and support you while you use it!
