“Can’t stop, won’t stop.”
Sharon Beason
In 2015, Womeneur was born and Sharon Beason of Brooklyn, New York is the creative mind behind it. By trade, she’s a corporate woman with a background in accounting. However, she always had a desire to start her own business. Her dream became a reality through Womeneur, a brand she runs to help women start, grow and sustain profitable businesses.
“Not only is womeneur a brand, it’s a lifestyle, and movement. My goal and purpose is to help women launch brands. I let women know that they can confidently do that Just by showing up as their authentic selves,” said Beason who guides women through start-up memberships, consultations, and marketing best practices.
Beason, author of “The Entrepreneur’s Startup Gameplan” often gives keynote speeches to encourage women during conferences. Yes, her words, presence and knowledge are all very powerful but her style is another big attraction. Beason, shows up unapologetically as herself whenever she steps on scene. That means you may run into her with mismatched earrings and an eye catching statement piece.
In her own opinion, success happens the moment you become comfortable in your own skin. In fact, in a world, where women are still forced to fight for equal pay and more, there’s one word you should never accept.
“In my dictionary the word “No” did not exist and my mantra is can’t stop, won’t stop,” said Beason who even had those words shaved on the side of her head as a reminder.
Beason advises women to never internalize phrases like “you’re not invited” or “you can’t sit at this table.” She recommends decreasing and minimizing things that you consume from unhealthy conversations, people, influences, pop culture and anything else that’s a distraction.
“I had to had to adapt to a growth mindset and get away from the negative Nancies,” Beason said. When you accept everything is not for you, just like everyone isn’t for you, that’s when life gets better.”
