This is a manifesto for women in business. It’s a collection of words to live by for women who want to make their own path.
It describes the heart and soul of this blog. I hope it gives you some inspiration on those days when you feel like you can build an empire (and those days when you don’t).
New: Buy the unbranded manifesto in a range of colours or make your own. Visit Stevie and Three to find out more.

Hello Clare- Thank you I loved your manifesto. I have been meaning to come over and spend some quality time on your blog ever since we took the BYW class together. Only now I managed to do that. I found your site very inspirational and positive. I feel stronger the more I see and share success stories such as yours. Congratulations. Best of luck with the move to London. Just signed up for your mailing list, so we’ll be in touch
Regards, Pinar

I found this manifesto at such a perfect time in my life, thank you and best of luck with the move. I moved to Sydney from Boston so I know it is an exciting journey, at times scary and tearful, but you will have an amazing adventure ahead of you! x

This is just what I needed to read! I have also written a “mantra” but didn’t know what to call it. Thank you for sharing- it has inspired me to share mine. Women in business are going to change the world.

Sorry girls, I’m a guy, and this is one of the best manifesto’s I’ve ever read. My favourite line: “Be you own hero” is in it too. Freakin love it, and I’d love to borrow it from you to post on our unisex dorm bathroom
In my mind I’m changing only one thing about it, and that is adding some imaginary brackets so your logo becomes (wo)men in business ^^
Thank you very much for the inspiration!! And rock on!!
