Melinda Gates (Co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), Beth Comstock (Vice Chair of Business Innovations at General Electric), Sofia Vergara (Co-founder of Latin WE), and Arianna Huffington (Co-founder and editor-in-chief of Huffington Post) are some of the world's most powerful women entrepreneurs listed by Forbes. But what distinguishes them from other women on the list is how they got to where they are now from scratch. These women showed how possible it is for everyone not just to dream big, but also to reach or even go beyond that dream.
Here are some of the things an aspiring woman entrepreneur has to live by to become great and successful in the field:
Be Fearless
Many female entrepreneurs are afraid of taking risks in turning their passion into business, and this is not helpful at all. Fear only keeps them from reaching the things they want in life. Huffington Post even shared the story behind the success of Debbie Fields, the creator of Mrs. Fields. At first, many people did not believe in the idea that Fields' passion for cooking can pave the way for her to be successful. But thanks to her courage not to listen to the negativity surrounding her, she is now enjoying her successful life while doing the thing she loves most.
Dream Big
Gender bias causes most women to limit their capabilities and professional aspirations. Despite this, Martha Stewart, an entrepreneur and iconic mogul, claimed how everyone can become CEO if they are just willing to work for it. Remember, if other people can do it, then it's possible that everyone can do it, too. Don't create boundaries, a successful woman entrepreneur must dream big, conceptualize and visualize her best and greatest dream. By then she can start her exciting journey towards success.
Claim your Greatness
A successful woman entrepreneur needs not to be perfect to be great as stated by Black Enterprise. She only has to secure her strength, be confident in what she has, be not limited by her weaknesses and focus only on her strengths. Given all these, carrying forth the vision and making everything happen will only be just an inch away.
