Crucial Mistakes Black Women Entrepreneurs Should Avoid

Many women start businesses with passion—but the wrong business structure and messy finances can cost you thousands. In this powerful finance roundtable, we break down the money moves every woman entrepreneur needs to make in 2026.

Host Linette Cottrell sits down with three powerhouse women in finance—Monique Vassall, Rhonda Brown, and Nikki Moteng—to talk about choosing the right business structure, avoiding costly financial mistakes, and claiming tax deductions many women business owners miss.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How to know when it’s time to move from side hustle to CEO
• The business structures every entrepreneur should understand in 2026
• Tax deductions women business owners commonly leave on the table
• How disorganized financials quietly cost small businesses thousands
• Simple systems that help you run your business like a true CEO

If you’re in your first five years of business, this conversation could save you money, stress, and major headaches down the road.
