I came across this post on CNN and even though it’s old news, it is still relevant and inspirational news – it’s Fortune’s 50 Most Powerful Women in Business 2011. It’s their annual ranking of America’s leading business women. I am always open to receive those signs that say to us: Yes you can!
The women are from diverse backgrounds. With success and power comes controversy and these women are no exception. My intention is not to focus on the controversies but to focus on what’s possible for the women of today.
Bookmark this page and when you feel overwhelmed, fearful or any of those keeping you stuck feelings, read about one or more of these 50 confident business women for inspiration to keep moving forward.
Enjoy and be inspired!!!

Hello Karen,
Thanks for sharing. One strategy that helps my clients, who have businesses similar to yours, is niche marketing. Even though you have a wide variety of products, you will have more success if you choose one product and become the go to expert for that niche. For example: you could choose an anti-aging product and become the anti aging expert. Or choose a health and wellness product and become the health and wellness expert. Of course, you should study and learn about your niche to be a credible expert.
By the way, your customers will buy your other products.
It’s really nice to hear about them. Hail those 50 business women. This world is not a heaven for women business. But they did it! Thanks for sharing.
What you receive in life is related to what you give. These 50 confident women aren’t an overnight success.
