Violette Nduku Wambua: Entrepreneur Fatigue Nearly Killed My Business The Failure Effect

    • Ondernemerschap

When Violette Nduku Wambua first came up with the idea for Networking In Heels over a decade ago, it was a ground-breaking idea. Kenya had never before seen a forum for women to get together to support each other in business and in life.

So good was her idea that the sponsorship and media support and attention that came her way was literally unprecedented... until entrepreneur fatigue hit her. That, combined with struggles of new motherhood, caused her to make the one mistake many entrepreneurs with great ideas make: Abandon the idea and go back into the job market.

After a decade of pondering how to restart Networking In Heels, she finally hit the jackpot. Almost immediately after she had regained her momentum, Covid happened, causing her to pause her business for two more years.

Today, Networking In Heels is back and bigger than ever! How did she do it? Find out in this latest episode of The Failure Effect.

Happy Women's Month!
