Celebrating the successes of women around the world should not just be limited to a single day a year, but be a part of everyday life and continued as much as possible. Recognition should be a constant, inspiration should be sought and support should be lent to one another all the time. Girls compete with each other, but women empower one another, and that is the difference we constantly strive to shine a light on.
As such, we have compiled a list of truly inspiring businesswomen that we hope will inspire your ambition and either kickstart or prolong your beautiful career’s, whatever they may be.
Sara Blakely
This is one of those names that has now become famous among women with an interest in business because she broke the mold. Sara is one of the richest self-made women to ever live having founded Spanx – a company that specializes in comfy undergarments – an empire that is worth just over $1 Billion. What is so inspiring about her, though, is her attitude and perspective on things. We saw her talk at a seminar recently, and it was so refreshing to hear her talk about embracing the unknown because, after all, that is more often than not going to be your greatest strength. They way she see’s it is that your unique perspective will help you do things differently from everyone else.
Sheryl Sandberg
She still isn’t a household name, even though she is one of the most important cogs in one of the biggest enterprises in the world; she is COO of none other than Facebook. What is so incredible about Sheryl is her frankness. Speaking from the heart takes courage like nothing else, it takes real strength to bare your feelings and emotions, but she does it to inspire other women. She often talks about how to be more successful in business on her Facebook page, but she also talks about other issues that have the ability to empower women. She recently spoke about the challenge life has become since the death of her husband, and what it is like to be a working mom. These inspiring insights are something worth following her for.
Suze Orman
She may not be the owner or operational director of any billion dollar companies, but Suze is still so relevant to this because she always pops up those list about the best money-saving books you should read right now, and for good reason to. She is a must read author and advisor for any woman navigating the world of business and that is because she is an absolute force in the world of personal finance and a financial advising powerhouse. Her candid way of speaking is what has landed her Emmy’s for her TV show, best-selling credits, columns in some of the biggest magazines and newspapers and get a reputation as one of the greatest motivational speakers in this sector. So if you are ever looking for advice on how to improve your finances or smash through the glass ceiling or manage a startup company, or just looking for that spark of motivation, then read, watch and listen to Suze Orman.
