The blue wave sweeping through the recent election has a message that reaches well beyond politics: Women are going after power, winning it, and preparing to put it to work.
I say, let’s bring that same energy to money.
Because owning a business gives you something generations of women fought to have: the authority to create money, control it, and determine what happens to it.
Winning a Seat Is One Thing. Exercising Power Is Another.
Winning an election gets you the office. What you do once you’re there is what counts.
You can have the title, the office, and the authority. But if you aren’t using that authority to change where money goes, which priorities get funded, and whose future gets invested in, what have you accomplished?
The same principle applies to owning a business.
You have the authority to set your prices, determine how much money your business generates, decide where that money goes, and create opportunities that didn’t exist before.
Your business is an economic engine. You’re the one who determines what it makes possible.
What if the most important thing you accomplish with your business isn’t your next revenue milestone, but the amount of personal economic power you create with the money you’re already making?
Women Are Changing Who Exercises Power
For generations, men have controlled the overwhelming majority of the world’s money. They’ve determined which ideas get financed, which businesses receive investment, which political campaigns get funded, and which priorities shape the future.
Now imagine the economic landscape when millions more women have serious money at their disposal.
Women creating personal wealth through their businesses. Paying themselves generously. Accumulating wealth that gives them greater independence, influence, and freedom to shape their futures. Women with the resources to pursue ambitious goals, enjoy their money, and make an impact on their own terms.
That includes what happens in your own life.
Imagine having the money to make a major business move without worrying about how you’ll pay for it. To take six months away from work because you choose to. To make a significant contribution to your family’s future while creating the financial independence you’ve always wanted.
There’s a particular kind of confidence that comes from knowing you have the money to follow through on your ambitions. Multiply that confidence by millions of women entrepreneurs, and we’re looking at a very different economic future.
Make Your Money a Source of Power
The goal isn’t simply to be the woman who makes the money. It’s to be the woman whose money creates the future she wants.
Your revenue matters. More importantly, so does the economic authority you’re creating for yourself through the money you earn, keep, own, and invest.
The women taking office after this week’s elections have an opportunity to exercise power in ways that shape the future.
You have an opportunity to do the same with your money.
Make your money a source of power. Then use that power to create a future worthy of your ambition.
You know how you can be confident in the value of your work and still find yourself second-guessing what to charge?
Your money story doesn’t just influence how much you pay yourself. It also influences your pricing, and that has the most significant impact on how much money your business makes.
