New Speaker Rachel Rodgers Mentors & Helps Female Entrepreneurs Reach Financial Gains

Due to the ongoing public health crisis, many businesses across the world have been forced to innovate if they hope to survive and thrive under these unexpected circumstances. Many have had to partner with new delivery services, invest more resources in digital marketing, and/or offer new concessions and discounts to entice consumers to buy. Underrepresented entrepreneurs, especially, have not only been tasked with thinking of innovative ways to relieve the economic pressures of the global pandemic, but also with navigating systemic barriers that have distressed them for centuries. Perhaps no one understands how to come out of a global pandemic on top as a black woman entrepreneur better than new Outspoken speaker and founder and CEO of Hello Seven, Rachel Rodgers.

At 38, Rachel used a mix of business savvy, mentorship, and advocacy to strategically haul in $1 million in revenue within a single month last year. Her women-run consultancy, Hello Seven, offers business advice to women entrepreneurs with the goal of helping them gain access to networks and educational resources needed to scale their business from $100,000 to a million and more—the idea being that most financial coaching focuses around the attainability of six figures when seven figures can be just as attainable when one has the right toolbox for success. Hello Seven offers clients business marketing as well as financial and legal training to get them moving and behaving like the seven-figure-income bosses they know they can be.

As a lawyer, mother of four, and black female business owner, Rachel had firsthand experience of the structural issues that force women entrepreneurs, and especially women entrepreneurs of color, to work hard—or harder—while not earning as much as their male and white counterparts. Consequently, she felt an urgent need to act. In 2017, she launched Hello Seven on a mission to build a more just, equitable and balanced world that offered women equal financial power without forcing them to sacrifice family, health, or sanity in the process. And women all across the world, clients and collaborators alike, have been impacted. Rachel distributed the profits from her million-dollar month back to her team of 14, the majority of whom are women of color. Hello Seven is a testament of a diverse and equitable company is a profitable company.

In her upcoming new book, We Should All Be Millionaires: A Woman’s Guide to Earning More, Building Wealth, and Gaining Economic Power, Rachel explains the challenges women face in building wealth, gives strategies to increase their income, and instructs how to make million dollar decisions that bring wealth in all forms. The book not only helps women entrepreneurs become financial stable, but also more socially conscious and justice-minded. It will be released in May 2021.

Rachel is now available to book for virtual events and speaking engagements. For more information, please reach out to us at info@outspokenagency.com.
