45. Redefining the Narrative of Entrepreneurship with Alex Batdorf

Alex Batdorf really Gets Sh!t Done for women and underserved communities through her accelerator and community platform. Her mission is to build generational wealth and impact for all women, especially empowering black women in entrepreneurship. Being sick and tired of the whole women entrepreneurship hype which is not generating enough revenue, Alex decided that the system must change. As she explains, her motto ‘Fuck the 4%” and potty mouths are there for a purpose, showing that redefining of business systems is urgently needed.

Alex shares her serial entrepreneurial journey and why she was disgusted with the value systems of the masculine, white business world. Women have problems blending into that kind of world but can learn a lot from men. Women are facing challenges and compete too much, don’t collaborate enough and some bad habits are stopping them from being successful. Alex explains why going on the road ‘I will be exceptional’ is not the best business move and why investors can’t solve any of your problems.

Alex doesn’t have the blueprint or silver bullet, but “Get Sh!t Done” is a new ecosystem that combines data, experiences, connections and transparency, focusing on solutions and a community that rises together and models the behaviors that her clients want to have showing up in their lives.
