HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY! Incredibly, it's now TWO YEARS since we first set out to tell the stories of 365 female entrepreneurs over 365 consecutive days in exactly 365 words! What's the BIGGEST thing that has changed for you either in life or in business since we spoke to you in 2019/20? Tell us in the comments below!

Hello and a very happy World Book Day! It's almost a year to the day since we completed the book project and we'd love to ask you: What did appearing in the book mean to you? Tell us in the comments below!

Copies are still available to purchase if you're looking for a unique gift idea for someone in your life who is trying to pivot into a new business direction, or a mum in business ahead of Mother's Day: https://www.shecan365.com/

HELP PLEASE 🙋‍♀️ We're looking for women aged 30-plus who have their own little sanctuary in the form of a shed; a place they use for a specific, creative purpose (so not solely a home office). For example, it's where they go to craft, indulge their love of reading, paint, sew or use for their love of gardening. Is that you? Do you know someone else who fits the bill? If so, please raise your hand in the comments!

With no end to the lockdown in sight, it’s easy to slip into discouraging thoughts and cloud your mind with worries. It’s at times like these that we remind ourselves that resilience is one of the most important attributes you can cultivate for yourself.

Our SheCan365 project showed us how so many women dug deep at their darkest hour to create amazing businesses on their own terms. If that’s the kind of inspiration you (or somebody you know) needs right now, then copies of our book are available. Visit the link in the comments to find out more.
