WEGG Mission
We at Women Entrepreneurs GROW Global (WEGG) have one mission: Bringing global opportunity to women-owned businesses worldwide.
WEGG is a social enterprise established in February 2008 that aims to serve you — a businesswoman whose operation is currently primarily local. You are one of nearly 188 million female entrepreneurs worldwide.ª
According to The Huffington Post:
Participation varies greatly across the globe, ranging from 1.5 percent to 45.4 percent of adult women in a single economy. And in only one of the surveyed economies — Ghana — did women entrepreneurs out-number men.
Your business might be a fuel company, a basket retailer, or a construction firm. It may be three months young or a century old.
WEGG Vision
Whatever your specific situation, your enterprise could reach its next level and levels beyond your wildest dreams. The way there is through globalization. Here are just four reasons why global is the way to grow.
1. Globalization can increase your revenues/profits and simultaneously hedge your business for local/regional busts/booms, currency fluctuations, supply shortages/gluts, and shifting consumer tastes. Toyota, Tata, and GM would have significantly higher costs of doing business and greater risk if they remained local or even regional auto companies.
2. Globalization can enhance your brand name, making marketing more cost-efficient — and powerful. All the world loves Coca-Cola, not just Plano, Texas, or Southern France.
3. Globalization gives you leverage with both domestic and worldwide powers-that-be in government, finance, and commerce. When Google talks, people in high places pay attention.
4. Globalization opens access to diverse networks of ideas, best practices, and insider knowledge/contacts. That’s exactly why fledgling Lenovo decided to be multinational.
WEGG Resources
WEGG is unmatched in how we help you with research, strategy, execution, and funding and managing growth. That’s because WEGG founder Laurel Delaney has been in the international trenches for more than 20 years. Laurel cherry-picks the best fit of global talent from both the non-profit and private sectors to contribute to the WEGG Web site and help you grow your business. These global teams and partnerships know their way around and through government red tape, legal requirements, market demand, suppliers, funding sources, insider networks, and technology.
And, you’ll be in good company at WEGG. Millions of female entrepreneurs, social change agents, and political leaders already visit our sites. The Global Small Business Blog is in the top one percent of all blogs.
