Empowering Women in Business: A Conversation with Charity Smith

Welcome back to the Primal Blueprint podcast! In today's episode, we have the privilege of speaking with Charity Smith, an advocate for women's business and economic power. With a wealth of experience and a passion for elevating women's voices in the business world, Charity shares her journey and insights on how to empower women to achieve their economic goals.

The Evolution of 'Miss Mogul'

Charity's journey began in academia, where she taught business management concepts to students, predominantly men. Recognizing the economic achievement gaps faced by women, she became an advocate for increasing female enrollment in her classes and promoted women's visibility in business.

Charity's nickname, 'Miss Mogul,' emerged during a mastermind event where a colleague recognized her potential as a leader. This moment ignited a fire within her, leading to the creation of her boutique business consulting firm, KMF Business Group. Here, she focused on helping women expand their businesses into global markets, fostering connections and opportunities.

Overcoming Adversity

Charity’s path was not without challenges. After the economic crash of 2008 and a personal divorce, she found herself in a dark place. However, a pivotal moment watching The Lion King inspired her to rise from the ashes and pursue real estate investing. Through her journey, she realized the importance of community support and helping others navigate their own hurdles.

Identifying Common Barriers for Women

During her work, Charity observed several barriers that prevent women from stepping into their power:

Lack of Information: Many women were unaware of the resources and opportunities available to them.
Negative Self-Talk: Self-defeating narratives hindered their ability to pursue promotions or entrepreneurial ventures.
Lack of Permission: Women often felt they needed external validation to pursue their ambitions, even when they had the capability.

Finding Purpose and Taking Action

Charity emphasizes the need for individuals to find their purpose. She encourages listeners to reflect on what ignites their passion and fuels their desire to make a difference. It's not enough to have a job; one must align their work with their values and passion. She shares insights on how to navigate the challenges of starting a business:

Seek Family Buy-In: Ensure that your loved ones support your business venture.
Develop a Business Plan: This is crucial for outlining your goals and ensuring clarity in your direction.
Establish Your Structure: Understand the legal and financial implications of your business model.
Have Financial Reserves: Being liquid enough to sustain your venture is essential.

Conclusion: Embracing Your Inner Mogul

Charity Smith inspires us to embrace our inner mogul and pursue our passions with boldness. By empowering women and fostering community support, we can create pathways to success and redefine what it means to be a leader in the business world.
