These women are VERY inspirational! I'm a man and everything they are saying touched home. Definitely sharing this with my wife.

"You know what, I see all these challenges and i'm equipped to handle them, and i'm totally commited to fixed these problems.. it's about recommitting every single time".. I love this lady!! Thank you

[dominiquejohnson]

I love to hear how women like myself got from where I am with a vision to where I want to be "a business owner". Those voices of doubt have never been self doubt. It's been family and friends who doubt and create hostility between me and my goals. I am continuing to learn who and how to tune out the negativity.

Last month I started seeing your videos. Heard many powerful women talk. Now I have a small business. Starting from zero😙. Thanks you ladies are encouraging us.

I love that bit about sacrifices and ultimately understand that what you choose doesn’t necessarily mean that you made a sacrifice

[Alby]

victoria's responses were more holistic, wish she too was given equal space to give her views as the others!
lovely conversation by these empowered women 😍

[avilestiffany]

My mom & I are starting our business & these interviews have been great for inspiration, info & comfort knowing that all that we are experiencing is real, ok & we can do it our way!

[Influences]

Thank you for this. I just had to start over from scratch after being smeared unfairly by a huge publication, unethical journalist and my competitor and it cut me to my core. I am a woman and have ADD and I’m a minority. Business is not always fair and we get kicked in the face as entrepreneurs over and over. This channel is so inspiring and I commend you.

[katrinaruthministries]

It's so important to know as a female entrepreneur what you need to do to get on the right path with your business and start moving the needle. So inspiring!

[ladybosspodcast]

I love when women share their stories of how they found success through hard work and dedication. This is so inspiring and thank you for sharing!!!

[annabrake]

Fantastic! This is what I needed to hear today. Another great interview.

When Lisa Bilyeu was introducing Victoria Young's company I was thinking 'Is it in Europe? Please, let it be in the EU!', and when she mentioned Young had to close it down, my mind started spinning all those ideas 'How could this happen? How is that even possible?! This company is brilliant! I need these products in my life! The world needs this company! Young's vision is perfection!'

[JudySeegerDetox]

wow! another stellar interview session! Wish the female holistic practitioners would get on this bandwagon. I"ve been interviewing a few for my podcast but the majority are lost when it comes to running their business.

[andreaswonderland]

Phenomenal talk, ladies! 💕 I REALLY LOVE the format of several women in different stages of their lives and careers sharing opinions to questions or a theme. Makes the talk super inclusive and shows that there is no 1 right answer or way. Fantastic interview, Lisa 💖🙌🏻

[nontokozombatha]

What a brilliant interview. I'm certainly inspired, all the way from South Africa 💃. I love how you unpack all the nitty gritties of the challenges successful women face when it comes to entrepreneurship. Excellent interviewing skills as well! Keep up the great work!

[LifewithRoline]

I am just a few minutes in and I love it already! I’m at the beginning stage of starting a few business project. I am claiming from now on here I will be on Women of Impact🙏🏾

[Viechlover]

What a great moderator she is! Brilliant preperation of questions and leading throughout the talks! 👏👍
(Way higher quality than most of the talk Shows on TV)
The only really sad thing is that the women to the right had a very little part in this interview

[michaelhawke]

Hello Mrs Jane is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategies

[bogeremaggie]
