The Wisepreneurs Project—where wisdom meets entrepreneurship

Unlocking the Power of Language and Literature in Women's Entrepreneurship

Hello ,

Insights from a Multilingual Business Coach

In episode 41 of the Wisepreneurs podcast, I spoke with Anna Molnár, a multilingual business coach living in the Hague who brings a unique perspective to empowering women entrepreneurs.

With her diverse background and passion for reading, Anna shares valuable insights on how language and literature can shape your entrepreneurial journey.

The Buzz on BEE: Anna's Approach to Helping Women Flourish

Anna's company, Blossom Empowering Events (BEE), reflects her dedication to helping women entrepreneurs flourish like flowers. Anna's unique coaching style focuses on nurturing her clients' strengths and helping them overcome challenges to reach their full potential.

When asked about the inspiration behind BEE, Anna shared,

"I wanted to create a business that not only empowers women but also celebrates their growth and success. Like a flower that blooms, every woman has the potential to thrive when given the right support and resources."

Turning the Page: How Reading Can Inspire Your Business

As an avid reader, Anna recognizes the power of storytelling in personal and professional development. In this podcast, she discusses how incorporating lessons from both fiction and non-fiction can help women entrepreneurs better understand themselves and their goals.

"By exploring the experiences of characters in stories, we can gain insights into our own lives and find inspiration for our entrepreneurial journeys."

Lessons from a Polyglot Coach

With fluency in five languages, Anna brings a unique, multicultural perspective to her coaching. I won't give it away in this newsletter, so you will have to listen to the podcast, where she shares the fascinating story behind her language-learning journey and how it has shaped her approach to communication and understanding in business.

"It allows me to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds and create an inclusive environment where they feel understood and supported."

Coming This Friday to the Wisepreneurs Podcast
At 78 years young, Hazel Edwards OAM is still going strong as a prolific author and educator. Best known for her beloved children's book "There's a Hippopotamus on Our Roof Eating Cake", which has been in print for over 40 years, Hazel has published more than 200 books spanning many genres.

Hazel shares insights from her remarkable life and career:

  • Growing up in a country town and the early influences that shaped her love of learning and writing

  • Adapting to massive changes in the publishing industry and mentoring aspiring writer
  • Staying productive and engaged into her 70s while navigating loss and life transitions

Hazel's warmth, humour and wisdom shine through as she reflects on taking creative risks, coping with controversy, and leaving a meaningful legacy. Tune in for an uplifting conversation with an actual "authopreneur" and literary treasure!

The Paradox of Productivity: Learning to Accept Limitations

In his book "Four Thousand Weeks," Oliver Burkeman makes a significant point worth reflecting on:

"...the core challenge of managing our limited time isn't about how to get everything done—that's never going to happen—but how to decide most wisely what not to do, and how to feel at peace about not doing it."

This is especially so for those of us later in our careers. I recently spoke with a highly successful multitalented artist about crafting a five-year plan. While including many projects and goals may be tempting, I cautioned against overloading the plan. As we age, our time becomes increasingly precious, and focusing on what is truly achievable and impactful within our remaining years is crucial.

The key to effective productivity lies not in attempting to accomplish everything but in strategically selecting the projects that align with our values and can potentially leave a lasting legacy. By prioritizing and streamlining our goals, we can invest our time and energy in endeavours that will yield the greatest satisfaction and make a meaningful difference in the world.
