I remember the days when holidays meant time off, reconnecting with friends and family, fabulous vacation travel and end of year bonuses.
But now, I am a mom and an entrepreneur. For me, holidays are no longer blissful and restful. Holidays mean hustling to get some sell through (yes, I still have Venture Kits inventory), and feeling guilty that I don’t have time to concoct a gourmet meal from scratch, entertain at Martha Stewart standards, or make an Insta-ready dessert to bring to friends’ parties. Holidays mean a lull in investor meetings and an extra $1,000 in baby sitters – $1,000 that I honestly can’t spare. Holidays mean facing the end of another year in the front lines of entrepreneurship, and yes, celebrating successes – but also, coming to terms with all the ways that I screwed up and all the times that things just didn’t go my way.
Mind you, I’ve had a very good year. But still.
If you’ve ever founded a company, you know how hard this can be. If you haven’t, I hope by now you’ll take my word for it.
So here’s the deal. I know you guys aren’t used to getting advertised to in this newsletter. And I know that you’re probably up to your ears in shopping lists and gift guides. But you’re also paying attention because you want to support female founders – you tell me this all the time. And what better way than with your holiday spending dollars. Today I’m proud to share the 2018 FFA Holiday Offer Guide. A curated list of deals and offers from FFA members that you won’t find anywhere else, from shoes to exercise equipment to coaching to business services. We hope you’ll find something here for your loved ones, and perhaps a treat for yourself, too. Don’t forget to use the promo codes! Happy shopping!
Until next time, Leslie Feinzaig CEO & Founder, Female Founders Alliance
