Have more questions? Estie has answered them for you below:
1. Why should I bother joining this series if I can find free resources online or read books?
This series is customized specifically to the female Jewish entrepreneur. There are not many free
resources or books about that! It is also a support network and geared towards your business and your
lifestyle. Additionally, it brings you into part of a community which takes away some of the loneliness of
running your own business .
2. Is this course right for people who are starting a business or those already established?
This is right for anyone who has been running a business for at least a few weeks and not good for
someone in the idea stage. You need to have at least one client or customer to understand what it
means to have a client or customer, as this is a lot of what we will be talking about. You can be
established for a few weeks to a month, or for ten to fifteen years, you will still benefit from it.
3. What industries do you have experience consulting with?
I have consulted with businesses in many different industries such as: clothing (retail and wholesale),
accessory design and other types of handiwork and crafting, internet sales (wholesale & retail), amazon
webstore, graphic design, photography, artistry, health & fitness, travel & tourism, all different therapies,
non-profit management, food services including catering and food retail, real estate, general brokerage
and more.
4. What kind of topics will be covered in the course?
This course is covering what we call "soft business skills". Topics include how to focus, goal-setting,
work/life balance, leadership, managing people, hiring, having confidence in your pricing, dealing with
difficult clients or customers, time management, and more!
5. How will the group communicate with each other?
We will have either a closed WhatsApp group or closed Facebook group depending on the group's
preference. It will be moderated by both Tova from Women in the Workforce and myself.
6. Will I get to present my own business dilemmas to the group?
Yes. There will be communication in the WhatsApp group where you can discuss personal business
dilemma’s with the group. Additionally, in the mentoring sessions themselves you can send me emails or
texts in advance or throughout the meeting and I will use your personal examples when speaking.
7. What format will the teleconference be?
It will be a one hour meeting. The first 45 minutes will be the presentation and the last 15 minutes will be
spent answering questions that were asked between the previous session and the current one, or that
were submitted throughout the session via email or text.
8. What types of businesses is this group for?
It is for small businesses run by Jewish women, anywhere from a solopreneur with no employees, to
someone with up to 20 employees, pulling in under $1 million a year. It can be a business from home,
from an office or from a storefront, owned by an individual, partnership or group. We are not focusing on
corporate businesses at this time.
