How do you keep going when everything is crashing around you | Yusr Sabra | Leadership Activators Global Edition #15

Being a business owner is often portrayed as a masculine and
assertive figure. A lonely rider, a warrior with a strong
character, who crushes through obstacles and overcomes challenges
with stoicism and determination. 


What if you are a woman who believes that business is a way to
help and serve others?
What if your friends and family members keep joking about you
being a people pleaser?
What if you were born in an environment where women need to 100x
their efforts to be seen and acknowledged, and still...?
What if, after starting your business and scaling it successfully
with your blood, sweat, and tears, it takes a big hit with a
sudden untamable economical crisis followed by a massive
explosion that devastates your city?
