A friendly reminder … When you are first starting out as a new entrepreneur, your friends and family are most likely not going to be your biggest supporters at first. They simply don’t understand what you are doing. That’s ok. Love them anyways. As they watch your new business venture take form, it’ll make more sense to them later on.
Surround yourself with support. Follow online leaders in your niche, listen to podcasts and & live streams and join Facebook groups full of people learning and teaching what you are looking for.
If you are a woman business owner and you are looking for mentors who are rocking their businesses online here are some Facebook groups to check out and see if you resonate with their teachings, strategies, and messages.
Update! I originally wrote this post in 2017. It is still one of my most popular blog posts. I’ve gone through and removed the outdated non active groups and replaced it with some new groups I’m really enjoying right now. These are all free groups. Please let me know if you find this list helpful. Cheers to your entrepreneurial adventures!
The Quantum Leap Collective – This sacred space was created by Jennifer Longmore, founder of www.souljourneys.ca, to support you in connecting with like-hearted, purposeful souls while receiving daily inspiration and insight into how to live your life fully on purpose *and* by design. The Quantum Leap Collective is your place to be, to share and expand your purpose and connect with other members of your soul family! Jennifer shares lot’s of money and biz tips for coaches and 6-figure and beyond earners. I also recommend Jennifer’s podcast.

The Virtual Entrepreneur: Online Work and Business Owners – The Virtual Entrepreneur isn’t just a group, it’s a community of alike people helping each other every step of the way! Let’s get you from overlooked to overbooked!
The Limitless Woman – If you can’t handle the heat (meaning straightforward in-your-face advice) then don’t join this group. If you don’t like your biz advice sugar-coated then join right away. Cassie Howard will have you motivated in no time! Perfect for women entrepreneurs with online businesses that want to get advice surrounding growing their business to six figures (and beyond).

They’re ready to ignite their radiance & influence, attract more clients, change more lives. Vanessa Talbot has been steadfast in her support for several years helping coaches. I love her group and have been an active member for many years. She brings an added flair by showing off her Kangaroos and other Australian pets.
Coffee With Dan – This group for men and women is ran by Dan Meredith. This isn’t a group for you if you don’t like humor or don’t have thick skin. He doesn’t hold ANYTHING back! This group is for entrepreneurs who want to get shit done and have fun! Take a look at his website on how to join. I’m not joking when I say you need to have a sense of humor. Dan is the King of humor and saying it like it is. There’s a lot of great information and teaching shared in this group.

Her purpose is to activate yours and have you play a much bigger game than you’re playing now, both in business and in life.
