I wanted to provide a simple, easy-to-understand tool for kids and adults to discover their own brilliance – their unique learning styles.

Carla Reid: Elevated Men’s Salon
I started Elevated Men’s Salon because I wanted to find a way to help strengthen and empower men.
Tenille Dixon: Girl Friday Services, Inc.
I initially started my business as a means to make money while going back to school for a second degree, but my love to help others and the ability to watch something grow that I was directly responsible for became my focus.
Erin Baebler: Magnolia Workshop
Once I started my training, it became clear to me that helping other new mothers navigate their changed world was the way to go. I’ve been coaching for 10 years and absolutely love helping moms navigate life with children.
Elizabeth Legere: Alexandria Pet Care, Inc.
Anyone who takes risks, pursues their passions (for business or not), takes time to honestly evaulate what makes them happy and eager to greet each day: those are my role models.
Sereta Wilson: Annie’s Ruff House
My grandmother left me a very small amount of money. I felt a huge responsibility to spend that money in a way that would honor her.
Kellee Khalil: Lover.ly
I was overwhelmed by all of the information and ideas on the Web and that there wasn’t one place online to gather all of the amazing ideas.
Marissa Vicario: Marissa’s Well-being and Health (MWAH!)
I always had an entrepreneurial spirit and desire to help others but never knew how to turn my passion for health, wellness, fitness and cooking into a business until I enrolled in a health coach training program.
Tracy Brisson: The Opportunities Project
I was working as the Director of Recruitment for one of the largest employers in the United States, but I felt that I could offer more to the world as an independent voice about careers, work, and recruitment.
Jacqueline Rivera: Pawfect Day, Inc
The disappointment of working long hours for someone and not being appreciated forced me to look beyond my situation. I was constantly drained and depressed.
Jessica Procini: Your Path to Health
I struggled with my weight for over 10 years. When I discovered how weight loss can be simple and fun I knew more women needed to learn how.
Fatima Omar Khamissa: International Network for Spiritual Biz Moms
I left an abusive marriage of 21 years with five children – one of whom has cerebral palsy. I wanted to be the voice for the voiceless and show women through my example what was possible for them.
Erin Maynes: FoodiePages.ca
Job duties are often not clearly defined when you’re first starting out and owners must wear many hats. When you find yourself spread too thin, hire help.
Bea Arthur: Pretty Padded Room
I believe in the benefits of counseling and see it as a necessity not a privilege, so I wanted to make it available and affordable for women everywhere.
AnnMarie Quintaglie McIlwain: CareerFuel
My role model isn’t any one person, per se, but rather a collection of women who achieve greatness as mothers, professionals, friends, sisters, and partners every day despite the impossible list of challenges.
