President's Message

Hello RSFBPW Ladies and Guests:

Dear RSFBPW Ladies and Guests;

As female business owners, we often have to embrace our inner Unicorn. Unicorns are not just mythical creatures; they are symbols of rarity, uniqueness, and they have the opportunity for extraordinary success. We can embody these qualities, bringing our own distinct flair and innovative spirit to the world.

I’d like to highlight a few remarkable women who have proven to be unicorns in their respective fields:

Whitney Wolfe Herd - As the CEO of Bumble, she redefined the dating app industry by empowering women to make the first move. Her visionary approach led Bumble to become a billion-dollar unicorn, showcasing the power of female-led innovation.

Anne Wojcicki - Co-founder of 23andMe, Anne revolutionized the way we understand our genetics. Her company’s success in personal genomics has not only made it a unicorn but also a leader in biotechnology.

Katrina Lake - The founder of Stitch Fix, Katrina transformed the retail industry with her data-driven personal styling service. Her unique business model propelled Stitch Fix to unicorn status, proving that creativity and technology can coexist beautifully.

As we embrace our uniqueness this month, Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx and a true unicorn challenges us with: “Don’t be intimidated by what you don’t know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.”

Networking is also like a Unicorn. It is a unique and powerful tool we use in our entrepreneurial journey. Through our connections we meet other unique women who become our referral partners, we developing lasting friendships, and they offer to support us in so many ways. Every RSFBPW meeting offers us the chance to discover a new unicorn, someone who brings their own special magic to our lives and businesses. We can also strengthen our fellow Unicorn bonds during our luncheon in April.

Let’s unite as a herd of powerful, unique unicorns, ready to take on the world with our distinct visions and unwavering determination.

Warmly,

Jill Harris

RSFBPW President

April Member's Showcase & Luncheon

In April, we showcase 5 of our members in our bi-annual Member's Showcase meeting.

Twice a year, five RSFbpw members have an opportunity to showcase themselves and their business for five minutes. The showcase is a valuable opportunity for our members to get to know members a little bit better. The five minute educational opportunity is designed to build relationships and establish trust and credibility.

As a showcase speaker, you must have been a member for at least six months prior to speaking, regularly attend our meetings and have not spoken within the last two years in April or October. If you are interested in speaking in October, reach out to Laine Klug at Laine@jhfarmers.com

Shout-Outs and Testimonials

We may run out of time at our meetings to share our testimonials for each other's services, products, and community announcements. We encourage you to write your praise and mail an email or note to the member who you want to applaud. Send your friends a special email sharing your testimonial about the member you are highlighting. Post your Shout-Out on our RSFBPW Facebook page and on your own FB page.

We offer Shout-outs and testimonial time at the end of many of our meetings, however it depends on the time left after our speaker has concluded their presentation. We do not offer testimonial time at our November and December meetings because of the length of the program. We encourage you to pass out your information, flyers, handouts and community announcements during the open networking time which is between 11:15 a.m. and 11:45 a.m.

You may also want to use your 20 second commercial time during the meeting to share your business event or announcement with the group and invite interested members to pick up a flyer with more details in the back of the room. Thanks for cheerfully working with us!

A Gentle Reminder about Spamming RSFbpw Members

Members and visitors must individually ask each member for permission to place them on any form of mass communication-email blasts, newsletter lists, U.S. Mail lists or group texts. Without each member's individual permission, we consider this type of communication to be an act of spamming. To build long-term relationships with members please write personal notes and emails first and after developing rapport, ask these members only for permission to place them on your mailing list. Thank you for your cooperation.
