Leila Hormozi认为，女性创业者不应该给自己贴上诸如“女性CEO”、“女性创始人”之类的标签。她认为这些标签会成为一种依赖（crutch），让人更容易将失败归咎于性别，而不是自身的不足。她指出，很多女性创业者在遇到挫折时，会将问题归因于性别歧视，而忽略了自身能力的提升空间。Hormozi认为，这种做法不仅无助于解决问题，反而会削弱自身的掌控力，阻碍个人成长。她以自身经历为例，讲述了如何帮助一位认为自己不被重视的女性员工克服这种依赖，并认识到自身能力的不足。Hormozi强调，与其将问题归咎于性别，不如专注于提升自身能力，成为一个无可替代的人才。只有这样，才能在事业上取得成功，实现真正的性别平等。她还引用了哈佛大学的研究，指出在测试前被问及性别会影响女性在数学测试中的表现，这说明性别标签会影响人们的自我认知和表现。Hormozi认为，将自己定义为“女性CEO”实际上是在强化性别差异，而不是缩小差距。她主张，女性应该将自己视为与男性平等的竞争者，而不是一个特殊的群体。她认为，与其追求被定义为“杰出的女性企业家”，不如追求成为“杰出的企业家”。
