We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Dr. Nicole Gates. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Dr. Nicole below.
Dr. Nicole, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
Entrepreneurship saved my life, The She-EO Unlimited was birthed from my personal experience of being a single mother with many skills that could be shared, and I need to be able to make ends meet. Through The She-EO Unlimited, we provide the blueprint to help women pave the way to stop living paycheck to paycheck through start-up preparation, creative marketing and brand strategy. I provide a solution by encouraging women to use their marketable skills to build sustainable business enterprise’s. It’s time for womenpreneurs to do business on their own terms. Our ecosystem embraces women of color who are small business owners, heads of households, single moms, frustrated with making ends meet, who are wanting to leave their 9 to 5 to pursue their passion on purpose! It was important to me to create a support around women pours that may have some additional layers of circumstances that could potentially make or break them.
Dr. Nicole, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I am Dr. Nicole Gates, Founder/She-EO of The She-EO Mindset TV Show & Podcast and The She-EO Unlimited, a Business Development firm for womenpreneurs and the Founder of The She-EO Society of Womepreneurs, a global business sorority for women of color!
I am Enthusiast, Scholar, Maverick, Trendsetter and Catalyst when it comes to helping womenpreneurs excel and grow personally & professionally in business.
My businesses all work together to engage, equip, educate and empower female entrepreneurs to be more visible and valuable in their respective industries.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
I was able to build my reputation in business by being consistent, hard-working, and being in places that I can work with like-minded women in business.
I continue to stay on the cutting edge of trends by attending my workshops and webinars, live workshops and webinars that will increase my industry knowledge. I participate in fellowship programs that will help me further expand my business knowledge for the benefit of my clients.
Have you ever had to pivot?
The most recent pivot for my business was when I decided to take a job that put me in the place of serving entrepreneurs, I found myself spending a lot more time at work, and with this group of entrepreneurs educating them, and equipped them to be able to operate, small business enterprises. Time with my clients became more and more diminished, but I knew I still wanted to offer support for this group of women that I work with so I started The She-EO Society of Womenpreneurs and decided to create an ecosystem through a business sorority that would be not just a support group for entrepreneurs, but a sisterhood for women in business, who want to do life and business together!
