Top Female Entrepreneurs to Follow …
If your actions create a legacy that inspired others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then, you are an excellent leader. ~ Dolly Parton, Singer/Songwriter
Women have been doing wonders in most of the fields of life all around the globe. Over the last handful of years, women entrepreneurs have risen in great numbers. In some cases, women are even now leading men in many fields. In today’s post, I will be highlighting a handful in which I feel are the most interesting and notable women entrepreneurs that you should keep your eyes on as they’re doing absolutely wonderful things and helping pave a path for other women who are (or are aspiring to be) entrepreneurs.
Mel Robbins, Motivational Speaker, CNN Contributor and Creator of The 5 Second Rule, has quite the background. Her career path started her off as a criminal defense attorney but that turned quickly into an on-air CNN commenter to a presenter on TedTalks, author of her own series of books and now a world-renowned motivational speaker (my favourite part of her career). Mel is a serial entrepreneur who inspires change and is one of the most booked motivational speakers in the world. Yes, in the entire world! She is the CEO and Co-Founder of the Confidence Project, a media and digital learning company working with Fortune 500 brands. Then as if things couldn’t get any better on her entrepreneurial adventure, Mel broke a self-publishing record with her international best-seller The 5 Second Rule which was also named the #1 audiobook in the world AND the fifth most read book of the year on Amazon. Her book was so HOT they ended up translating it into 31 languages, so it could be enjoyed all over the world.
This amazing woman is TOP of my HOT LIST for female entrepreneurs to follow. So much that I could actually do an entire blog post about her (note …keep an eye out for this in the near future). Lastly, I just want to make a quick note, for those of you who don’t know, Mel is the creator and host of Audible Original’s record-breaking new advice talkshow. So, if you want more out of your life, this audio experience is for you!

She speaks around the world, sharing her message of “Peace is the New Success”. Here is an inspiring blurb from her website called “The missing piece? Peace.” That you must know about …
“I am not talking about world peace or lack of conflict between countries, although that would be nice too. What I’m talking about is real, internal, palpable, substantive peace. The kind of peace you can reach inside and sit in when things get tough. The kind of peace that sustains you on this crazy journey you’re inevitably on called life – because like it or not it gets crazy for all of us.”

Julia Hartz, CEO and Co-founder of Eventbrite (an online event registration platform – literally THE BEST and something I use on a weekly basis – personal and business), is responsible for the vision strategy and growth of the company. Under her leadership, the company has become the world’s largest event technology platform which has received multiple awards for workplace culture. Accolades include Fortune’s 100 Best Workplaces in the United States, Glassdoor’s Employees’ Choice Best Places to Work and San Francisco Business Times’ Best Place to work (in the SF bay area).

Crystal Kordalchuk
Crystal is an artist, a writer, an organizer, a dreamer, a doer, and down-right proud of it NERD!.
Struck with a love for #AllThings creative at a very young age, Crystal dreamed of a life fueled by her passion for creating and bringing the stories and images in her mind into reality.
As she worked toward her dreams, she earned a diploma as a Computer Applications Specialist then another in Graphic Design and from there began to develop her extensive background in multimedia and the arts. She began her worked in the magazine industry as a layout designer and had a succession of design jobs thereafter. It was her role as a graphic/web designer that gave her the first real glimpse of her future. Soon she began a side job as a freelance designer while keeping one foot in the corporate world. A spark was lit! She turned her freelance gig into a full-time business combining design work with her other passion: creating organization from virtual chaos.
Crystal is one of the most organized individuals on the planet. She is by all means a Zen master of her crafts. She excels at helping others become “untangled” and provides her clients with tools to run their businesses smoothly while she takes care of the details behind the scenes. Thus Virtually Untangled was born. A successful business where her work as a top notch creative in graphic and web — with a twist of virtual assistant — married into one amazing place where clients can come with their virtual messes and become magically untangled. Crystal can always make sense of even the most unorganized chaos and offers a virtual detox of order and peace, so her clients can get busy doing the work that they love the most.
