Women are powerhouses – they build, nurture, create, and innovate. Whether it’s a CEO boss babe making significant moves, a single mom grinding to give her kids the best, or a young girl breaking barriers in STEM, women are rewriting the rules and making sure their voices are heard, and those from Melvin Marsh International are leading the pack.
The company boasts over 60% female leadership across various departments, 80% of whom are in senior management. Stemming from our Founder and MD, Flora Mutahi, the company is dedicated to transforming the livelihood of women across the country and beyond.
On Monday, March 3, we decided to host an intimate gathering with a diverse group of female influencers, each excelling in their respective fields. The atmosphere was vibrant as we engaged in business discussions while sipping on delicious mocktails and cocktails made from our Hibiscus and Berry Blast teas. Have you had a chance to try those yet? To top it off, Flora joined us at the event, sharing invaluable insights on navigating the influencer world’s challenging landscape. One key takeaway from her presentation was the BOLDER strategy for business. Let me break it down for you.
In her nearly three decades of experience, Flora has discovered some deep secrets to running a business. Since our mission this women’s month is to inspire women, she allowed us to let the cat out of the box. So here is the cat:
B – Build System
You must learn to automate your processes to establish and grow a successful business.
If your business can’t run without you, it’s not a business. It’s a treadmill.
O – Own Your Why
This is your story. And that is how people will relate to your brand. So why did you set up that business?
If you don’t own your story, someone else will rewrite it.
L – Learn Your Numbers
Without knowledge of how your numbers look like and what they reflect, you are in for a dusty ride. You don’t want that. Who likes dust anyway?
D – Develop Your Tribe
You can’t survive alone. Surround yourself with women who support you, tell you the truth, and help you stay true to yourself.
Your tribe is your safety net — and your launchpad.
E – Embrace The Chaos
You know what? The path through entrepreneurship is a case of tangled headphones. You have to embrace the mess, but most importantly, learn how to survive it.
The chaos isn’t your enemy — it’s your training ground.
R – Resilience
Ever heard of the saying, when the road gets tough, the tough get going? Well, without resilience, you are gonna quit even before that road gets tough.
Resilience isn’t a personality trait — it’s the muscle you build every time you rise.
And there it is! So, how BOLDER is your strategy?
This International Women’s Day, we wish every queen, warrior, and go-getter out there a moment of discovery and acceleration. Remember always to take action. Keep thriving, keep shining, and keep shaking things up. Because the world isn’t just watching—you’re leading the way!
