Our Why
The mission of Own Your Success is to provide a supportive community for women entrepreneurs in Northeast Indiana.
The Own Your Success Manifesto
Dream bigger than the box society puts you in.
Own Your Success women don’t settle. We will not be written off or patronized by the men in the entrepreneurial community who aren’t our allies. We will be pitted against each other and end up in isolation. We are not imposters.
Women business owners are a force to be reckoned with. At Own Your Success, we strive to provide a space for women to come together, ask questions without fear, and get to work on achieving business goals.
