Guess what year women were granted the right to get a business loan without a man? 🤔 1988! What?!  It means my mother was 45 years old—almost my age today. I always talk about self-created limiting beliefs, but we must also talk about generational beliefs. A couple of years ago, I was networking in Dubai, and we were the last ones at the bar chatting. Then, a man joined us, and I can't remember why, We ended up talking about the elections for one of the boards he presided over. He said, ‘Well, if  women want those positions, they need to put themselves forward.’ TRUE. And I said, Absolutely clueless that this man was hosting this event (And  running one of the largest financial bodies in the Middle East) ‘I agree, BUT we're not there yet. We need men to support women. We still live in the backlog of thousands of years of women learning to be quiet. We just need time to flip the narrative that has been a reality for so long. And we need a collective belief shift. Men who believe in women and cheer them on out loud. Who endorse women. Who celebrate their brilliance. No one said a word. And then he said: 'Fair point. Here is my business card so we can talk.' And yes, we need to talk—all of us. If you have a major position in an institution, you have even more power to transform and serve this world. I see too many professional women who don't dare to speak up. I see too many men who fear being authentic and vulnerable. And they're all suffering quietly from it. Generational beliefs and traumas are REAL. It's time to shift. Not just talk. And we all have a responsibility in it. The good thing is, even if you have held beliefs for decades, you can reprogramme them in four months. I'll show you how.

⚠️ The small business sector has a big problem. It's called the "missing middle," which refers to the gap in the provision of financial services and support for small and medium-sized enterprises. These businesses are seemingly caught between a rock and a hard place – they're too big to qualify for microfinance and too small to be eligible for regular bank loans.
