Many women start a business without having all the skills, knowledge or experience they need. They learn as they go — figuring things out, making mistakes, asking questions and building confidence along the way.
Jen Harwood, Founder of Happy Hair Brush, is a great example of what can happen when you don’t wait until you feel completely ready. Jen didn’t come from a corporate background or a family of entrepreneurs. She started with an idea, backed herself, and learned by doing.
What began as one woman giving something a go has grown into a brand with real customers, real momentum and a story worth sharing.
In this Female Founder conversation, Jen will take us behind the scenes of building Happy Hair Brush — sharing the challenges, lessons, mistakes and mindset shifts that have shaped her journey.
We’ll talk about what it takes to back yourself when you don’t have all the answers, how to move past the stories that can hold us back, and why you don’t need perfect timing, permission or a polished plan to start building something of your own.
Join us for an honest conversation about starting before you’re ready, learning along the way and having the courage to believe you can build it too.
What you'll walk away with:
- Permission to start before you feel ready — you don't need to have everything figured out before taking the first step.
- A more realistic view of the business journey — including the mistakes, challenges and learning that happen along the way.
- Practical inspiration to back yourself — even when you don't have all the skills, knowledge or confidence yet.
- A reminder that you can learn as you go — and that not knowing something is a starting point, not a reason to stop.
- A fresh perspective on what's possible — and the confidence to take your own idea from “maybe one day” to your next step.
