A short motivational response advising women who feel underqualified to take active steps to change that feeling: educate yourself, research, seek mentors and informational meetings (coffees, phone calls), and actively fill knowledge gaps. The speaker uses a personal example from 2020 about franchising to illustrate learning-by-doing and the need to seek help and resources.
I want to know, what's your advice for women who want to start something but might feel under qualified or like it's too late? If you feel that way, then change it. I can't say to someone you're qualified or under qualified, but if you feel that way like I felt that way in 2020 about franchising, I said, well, I can't just tomorrow go out as a franchisor. I had to read, research, ask people for coffees and phone calls, make sure I was leaving. No stone, unpack. We are the only ones who can make that feeling in ourselves go away. Because when I have felt underqualified, it's because I was. You do have to educate yourself if you feel under qualified, and then go out and find the people that can help you learn and fill in the missing pieces for you.
