A Different Perspective

by Jane Frankland

Introduction

7-figure cyber security entrepreneur.

Grew my 1st company to 7-figures in record time (2 years) & then I did it a 2nd time, 5 years later.

At 27 years old. NO startup capital, NO experience in cyber & a family along the way – 3 kids.

Have a global cyber agency & I help businesses and consultants with cyber security, influence & sales.

THE ECONOMY - financial crisis. Pensions – people have NOT retired & having to work for longer.

Fewer jobs. Fierce competition. Will there be a pension when you retire? What about having a family?

Bad news

In 2013 there were 12m graduates in the UK – a steady increase in the UK over the past decade.

Research suggests that the gap in gender pay expectations among graduates has increased by 44% since 2003

State of the economy

◦46 applications for 1 graduate job vacancy.

◦Or, 160 applications at the top companies e.g. Unilever.

Fierce competition

Daily Mail, June 2013.

Half of recent graduates are in non-graduate jobs

2 pieces of good news

Two things are happening:◦ World driven on purpose instead of money.◦ Advancements in technology to support this.

Entrepreneur revolution is occurring. There’s never been an easier & cheaper time

to startup.

Entrepreneur revolution

Dalai Lama said, “The world will be saved by the Western Woman.”

So if you’re a woman, this is your time! This is a time to rise up and contribute.

There’s never been a better time for women

When women succeed in business the gender gap closes & this has huge implications for the global economy:

GDP increases by:◦ 9% in the US◦ 13% for Europe◦ 16% for Japan (Goldman Saachs report).

There’s more diversity in the workforce, more contributions to charities & more support of local businesses.

The effects

4.9m private companies in the UK. 95% are under 9 employees. 1.5m sole trading women of the 3.3m sole

traders. c.300,000 are started and c.3,500 insolvencies

per year. The growth of start-ups is astonishing.
