I am not yet fortunate enough to know many women entrepreneurs in and as yet, my sponsor is my only relatively “wealthy woman” and self-made female entrepreneur that I know. It has always been my experience that successful women business owners tend to come from an entrepreneurial family back-ground.
Nevertheless, I understand the importance of women networking for empowering women, so as opportunities are limited where I am geographically based, I regularly tune into websites hosted by the likes of, Ellie Drake of Braveheartwomen. I specifically seek out sites created by women for women because I feel that I can relate to their specific experiences more easily and with less scepticism. I do not exclude male tutelage, but find that they are less interested in women’s empowerment, which is still regrettably, sorely needed.

I figure that women will more than likely have something extra to say to me as a woman that can help fill in the jig-saw pieces missing from pictures created by men which assume an equality of attitude and circumstances of women, which is not the case. As yet, it is still a male-dominated entrepreneurial world and although online marketing is increasingly populated by women, when I visit marketing forums, I find women still calling to hear the voices of other women.

Personally, I find there’s something particularly fulfilling and rewarding about seeing women sharing their specific experiences and in such diverse ways, which really inspires me. We need these female entrepreneurs as role models, so we can learn how to emulate what they do. I am eternally grateful to those women out there for having the commitment to share her good fortune and the good fortune of other successful women with those of us still hungry for their success.

Recently, Ellie Drake hosted a show where Kim Kiyosaki, one of the most successful women entrepreneurs in real estate today was sharing the stage with other successful women. What I learnt from the two part interviews has inspired me to share with you what these women and in particular Kim had to say.

Given the surge of women setting up a home based business, moving towards financial independence and that more women are looking for solutions to regaining control over their working life, in gratitude to those women on whose shoulders the rest of us stand, I hope you enjoy the video below and wish you success in seeking out your own female role models.

If you enjoy this, then when you have watched this, please sign up for your own account with Braveheart Women to see the second part of this show. (I do not profit by this – no affiliate scheme here. I just figure it is only fair to give something back to Ellie and her team in terms of growing the Braveheart membership and profile.)

Oh and whilst I’m in my ‘mission for women’s empowerment mode’, here’s another bonus piece of insight for women business owners and women entrepreneurs …

In return for bringing these women to you here, I want to ask you in return, which women do you consider as role models and why? Are any of there any favourite women marketers out there? Please leave a comment.
