Well, why do we have a chance to better succeed if we’re more risk-taking? And, yeah, interesting how does it link to female entrepreneurship. If we’re more risk-taking we need to think here it’s not about taking stupid risks, right? So, in general, if we have this ability to also take educated risks and thinking various scenarios, that also means we’re more prepared [for] to the variety of things that can happen. And definitely helps us in succeeding because we have reflected on maybe A, B and C.
If we know what’s the worst and what’s the best that can happen, everything that happens in between, we’re kind of prepared for it. And how does it link to, to us as being a woman? Oh, very much! It’s often not talked about, it’s even ignored that we have cycles. And honestly, until I think two years ago, as Olympic athletes said “well, yeah, I performed really bad. I just got my period that day”. It was a Chinese athlete. She broke a huge taboo and that makes something with us. It really does.
Sometimes we have pain. Sometimes we can’t focus that much. And it’s so important to think that way
to think that way. Pro-tip, well, try to have important pitches on your fertile days, for example. I have started to try this and honestly, it’s a total difference when I can kind of plan those things ahead and, you know, just picking a date around then and not a date when I’m out of energy because I’m in pain.
I think that, by nature, we have the additional challenge that men don’t have. We can start to project planning full time ahead. And let’s say, if we get pregnant, there is no guarantee for how we will feel along the process. Um, I’m lucky I’ve had a quite good pregnancy. I, I was able to work, but I also know of people that just couldn’t. And I don’t think they’re weak, they just have a different body, different preconditions. And that luckily applies to all of us, men and women. You know, if we are sick, if we have something, we just don’t have the energy and the focus. So, it’s really important to consider it and implement it in your daily work.
