Women Entrepreneurs and 'Imposter Syndrome'
One of the main obstacles for women running their own companies is 'imposter syndrome'. This is confirmed by a survey conducted for HSBC.More than a third of the women surveyed admitted that they invest their own money in the development of their businesses. It is striking that almost one in five of them noted that low self-esteem hinders their success."Imposter syndrome not only affects business decisions but also confidence in one's abilities,"experts noted.The data indicates that many women, despite their skills and achievements, still struggle with internal barriers. This underscores the importance of working on self-esteem and psychological support for those looking to grow their business. Efforts aimed at supporting women entrepreneurs can significantly impact their confidence and ultimately, their success in business.
