#123: The Boldheart Community: A Secret Sauce Supporting Women Entrepreneurs with Fabienne Fredrickson

Community is the most powerful of renewable resources – especially for women entrepreneurs, for whom “hive mind” is a source of inspiration, ideas and bravery. With that in mind, Fabienne Fredrickson, author, TedX speaker and founder of Boldheart, developed a unique platform that offers women who want to level up an online route to clarity, replicable systems and a peer support network like none other. As she explains to Host Dori Stewart on this episode of Teacher Turned Entrepreneur, it’s a recipe that includes a multi-faceted roadmap for female-led businesses looking to grow and scale.

Fabienne shares her story and the ideas that formed the foundation for her proprietary Boldheart Business Program, which is built on predictability and connection. “There is this deep level of self-belief that happens that you don’t get when you’re working at home in isolation, by yourself,” says Fabienne. If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about your “black sheep” tendency not to fit into a cooker-cutter mold, this conversation will shine a whole new light. In fact, coloring outside the lines is encouraged in the Boldheart community. Fabienne explains why having a village of support is crucial when it comes to striding boldly forward. Is it time for you to connect with an intentional community of generous women – peers traveling the same entrepreneurial road you are and ready to help you realize your dreams?

Here are key takeaways from the conversation:

·       If you’re spending so much time away from family that they never see you, it’s time to make a change of systems so that you can work smarter, not harder.

·       Data indicate that women entrepreneurs do better in a community. Do you have that network of support?

·       We all need a culture of care, especially if we have a sense of being “black sheep” for questioning received wisdom.

·       Accidental communities (think school potlucks or office happy hours) are not the same as intentional communities based on commonly held personal interests and goals.

·       Isolation breeds self-doubt, especially among women!

·       How can we have it all? It starts with locating your values and then finding the right cultural, professional and practical fit. Your business your way, your life your way!

·       What is it to have a BoldHeart? To search yourself honestly, and act bravely.
