1 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: What's up. This is the people Shark. Here Damon John 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 1: with a motivation moment for you. Courtesy of that Moment 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: with Damon John, a production of the Black Effect podcast 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: Network and iHeartRadio. Women own about forty two percent of 5 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: small businesses in the United States. That's thirteen million businesses. 6 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: National Women's Business Council provided us this information. Women are 7 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: behind so many more business ideas and products than you know. 8 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: They're contributing in so many ways to the economy and 9 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: providing products we use every day. So I want you 10 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: to think about this. I want to make sure that 11 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: you understand the importance of women when it comes to 12 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: not only this large number that we see of women 13 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: own businesses, but the customer. The woman is generally the 14 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: customer in any relationship at the household as well as 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: the personal consumer. Women shop ten times every one time 16 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: a man shop. So when you have a product, you 17 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: need to always consider does it relate to women? Now, 18 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: I don't care if it's a male dominated product, but 19 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: the woman is usually the decision maker of products. Let's 20 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: stake cars. I've said this many times. Up until the seventies, 21 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: car makers went out and they only made cars marketed 22 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: to men muscle cars in this and that they would 23 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: later on understand that the mother of a household is 24 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: the one who is dictating the type of car that 25 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: she believes and needed for the household. As well as 26 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: of course, when women are attracted to certain cars and 27 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: they like it and it happens to be a man 28 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: is going to purchase the car for him, so of 29 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: course he wants to make sure that he impresses the woman. 30 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: Women are the decision makers in the home and in 31 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: the retail business. And think about it, for every single 32 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: man listening to me, I am joking, but I'm not 33 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: tell me a product that you have purchased that you 34 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: can put in the common area of your home. I'm sorry, man, 35 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: you will probably not have anything in that common area 36 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: besides maybe a lazy boy. And then even after that, 37 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: in your man cave, that man cave gets shrunk down 38 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: by by twenty or thirty percent because the real boss 39 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: of the house says, I need some more space. So 40 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: there you have always think about satisfying the women's need 41 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: because they are the top purchaser and as you see, 42 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: the top business owners. So two and in every week 43 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: or more episodes of that moment with Damon John Peace
