Core Values: Your Business Compass
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by constant decisions as a woman entrepreneur, you’re not alone. From raising your prices to planning your next launch, it’s easy to second-guess yourself. That’s why identifying your core values in business matters—they act like a compass, pointing you toward choices that align with who you are and what you stand for.
Why Core Values Matter in Business
Core values aren’t just words on paper. They’re anchors you return to when the path feels unclear. When you define your values, you:
Make decisions with confidence (and less second-guessing).
Attract clients who share your vision.
Create consistency in your brand and client experience.
Build a business that feels authentic—not just profitable.
Without clear values, it’s easy to drift into opportunities that drain you. With them, you chart a course that feels sustainable and meaningful.
Living Your Values Every Day
Your values show up in the small choices just as much as the big ones:
If integrity is a value, you’ll keep your word—even when no one is watching.
If family is a value, you’ll design your schedule to be present with your kids.
If community is a value, you’ll seek out spaces where collaboration thrives.
At TeaCup Entrepreneurs, our values—community, collaboration, and growth—shape everything we do. They remind us why we’re here: to build businesses and lives that truly matter.
A Simple Core Values Exercise
Take five minutes today and jot down your top three values. Ask yourself:
What do I want my business to be known for?
What principles guide how I serve clients?
What matters most outside of business, and how do I reflect that in my work?
Keep them visible—on your desk, in your planner, or even as your phone wallpaper.
