Former world number one
Serena Williams has recently penned
a heartfelt letter, expressing the difficulties she faced in becoming an entrepreneur.
The 42-year-old is often regarded as one of the greatest
players in the history of women's tennis in the singles category, having won as
many as 23 Grand Slam titles in her career.
Williams' career on the court came to an end in September
2022 after struggling with form and fitness in the later stages. Since then,
she has been working hard to become a successful entrepreneur as well.
She is the founder and CEO of Serena Ventures which is
a firm that was established to help other startups.
Willimas, in a post on her official account on her social
media platform Instagram, penned an emotional letter expressing how difficult
the journey of becoming an entrepreneur has been for her.
"Being an entrepreneur is not always easy. My days
often begin at the break of dawn and extend well into the night. But in the
end, I love reinventing myself in different and authentic ways. Transitioning
from a tennis player to a venture capitalist has allowed me to pursue my
passion for investing in women," she wrote.
It’s important to
invest in us and not be afraid to showcase our stories and businesses. I have
some exciting things coming soon so you have to stay tuned. I would love to
hear your entrepreneurial stories. Please share! @serena.ventures Investing in
women since 2012."
