Protection in case of sickness

• As an entrepreneur you will not enjoy some of the
  basic insurance coverage you would have had as an
  employee
• Your income as an entrepreneur qualifies you for
  sickness benefit
• The self-employed have to insure themselves
  against income loss due to sickness absence,
  disability and unemployment. Because these
  insurances are quite expensive, many
  self-employed are not insured for this

What drives you to live the life you live
everyday?

• Many of us strive to achieve balance between our
  professional and personal lives.
• This balance is partially accomplished by knowing
  yourself and how to effectively communicate your
  convictions.
• Another aspect in achieving balance is finding
  your passion.

Conclusion

• Structural level
• We need to influence the EU structures to get
  more supportive regulation/laws for self-employed
  women
• Organisational level
• We need to negotiate better protection schemes
  and funds for continues support of WE networks
  and RC
• Individual level
• We need individually designed coaching programmes
  for health competence and for creating balance
  between work life, family and private life
