Owning & Operating Your Own Business in a Male-Dominated Industry by Anja Manke
Women In Action: From Guts & Grit to Glory
Even in our modern, progressive societies, women in male-dominated industries still face challenges such as lack of support and expression, the feeling of incompetence, and mistreatment.
This actually makes owning and operating your own business in a male-dominated industry even more empowering, as you will be able to set your own company culture, values, and standards as a boss.
However, there are still challenges to be faced. That’s why we have Anja Manke, CEO and Co-founder of Planet Arcade in Germany to share with us her experiences as a successful business owner in the FEC industry.
In this segment, she emphasises the importance of having self-confidence and a strong will to show that you know what you are doing, and say what you have to–especially when your female voice gets drowned.
Anja’s advice to young or aspiring entrepreneurs is: "Believe in yourself and your goals, and surround yourself with a good network of people with more experience in the business, especially when you are at the beginning of doing something new."
