Forget Selfish - This Is How Women in Business Really Thrive
Most business advice for women skips a crucial truth: You can’t scale if you’re burning out behind the scenes.
That’s exactly what was unpacked in our Forbes feature, spotlighting how community helps women in business thrive through strategy, wellness, wealth, and genuine connection.
It’s a must-read if you’re ready to grow and accelerate your business.
Wellness Is a Growth Strategy, Not a Luxury
Self-worth and net worth are more connected than we think.
For far too long, women entrepreneurs have been taught to sacrifice their well-being in the name of success. Prioritize clients. Push through. Keep giving.
Burnout is an empty badge of honor; it gives us nothing tangible and is just a sign that the system was broken from the start.
Wellness is a core business strategy for us.
We encourage women to set boundaries, protect their energy, and prioritize their needs without apology.
And we mean it.
It’s embedded in how we lead, how we show up, and how we support every woman in the room.
Because when we take care of ourselves first, our businesses can’t help but thrive.
Real Empowerment Means Wanting More Without the Guilt
Somewhere along the way, we women were conditioned to believe that wanting more for ourselves or our bank accounts is selfish.
Not here.
The Dames is redefining what empowerment looks like.
It’s about unapologetically claiming our goals and understanding that our ambition isn't something to pack away or tone down… It’s a gift meant to be shared with the world.
When we embrace our financial growth, we elevate everything:
- Our lives
- The lives of our clients
- Our teams
- Our communities
- Our families
That ripple effect doesn’t stop expanding, and neither should you!
Connection Kills Isolation, Especially at the Top
Entrepreneurship can be lonely, especially for women building companies in industries where we remain a minority.
The higher we climb, the fewer people around truly understand what we’re navigating.
That’s why The Dames exists: to make sure no woman is forced to scale alone.
Our Think Tank Circles and peer-based coaching provide strategy, of course, but that’s just the start.
What really changes the game is the emotional support, the “I’ve been there too” energy, and the real-time insight from the women who’ve been where we’re standing.
And around here, support comes with grace and exponential reciprocity. These are the women who smile in your face and rave about you behind your back.
Redefining Success, One Relationship at a Time
Forget surface-level intros and transactional referrals.
The Dames curates intentional connections that are rooted in shared values, aligned goals, and long-term collaborations.
We call them Power Partners. And they’re one of the biggest reasons this community moves so differently.
Inside The Dames, success means co-elevation. We grow together, redefine success, and expand what’s possible.
For all of us.
