But when the grind gets tough, we need a little bit of motivation, and a whole lot of optimism, to keep us going on our entrepreneurial journey. If you’re searching for some encouragement right now — don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Female Entrepreneurship:
Female entrepreneurship is flourishing. According to the World Economic Forum, women started almost half of all new businesses in the US in 2021 and between 8 to 10 million small and medium-sized enterprises across the world have at least one female owner. But whilst these numbers look good, they don’t reflect the whole picture.
Female business owners remain a minority, and encounter significant and distinct obstacles compared to their male peers. For numerous women, striving to pursue their entrepreneurial passions can seem like a challenging uphill struggle, one that may not seem worthwhile.
Though despite these challenges, many female entrepreneurs continue to persevere and make significant strides in their businesses, and in this special bonus episode of Peers2Peers, powered by Shopify, we’ve pulled together the ultimate highlight reel featuring 33 amazing female founders who are doing just that.
To celebrate Women’s History Month and to inspire all you trailblazers, we asked 33 female visionaries our forever favorite question: What is the value of pursuing what you’re most passionate about?
