How do you create an entire community of business women supporting each other?

Listen to our Interview with Jessica Rivelli, Founder of the Working Women Enterprise to find out!

Jessica Rivelli began Working Women of Tampa Bay because she couldn’t find the kind of networking group she was craving as a young professional.  Five years and 850 members later, the Working Women Enterprise has grown into other markets throughout the state of Florida (and national growth isn’t too far away!).  In this inspiring interview, Jessica shares her story of how she’s built her company and how she’s leading the movement of women supporting and motivating women in business!

Jessica’s Kick-A$$ Quotes:

Women find value in the things that they pay for.

Entrepreneurship has fantastic flexibility, but you have to have great time management skills and you have to have great discipline.

I am a conduit for making connections and helping [my members] grow

Katie’s Favorite Take-a-Ways

What Works in One Market May Not Work in Another

When Working Women of Tampa Bay was bursting, Jessica decided to open up in the Orlando market. As she develops her plan for opening up into Jacksonville and South Florida, she realizes that she has to do a ton of research to know who’s already there and if that particular market is looking for the value she provides.  Also, her research will better help her create a community culture for that particular area that is best suited for their unique personality!

When Sh*% Hits the Fan and You Can’t Do One More Thing…

Take a break!  Jessica is a huge advocate for making sure you step away from things when you’re too overwhelmed or frustrated.  It allows for great perspective about your situation and the answer you need may very well just come to you while you’re unplugging!
