A new study has revealed that the number of women millionaires in Australia, the US and the UK are growing three times faster than ever before – and it’s partly being fuelled by a rise in female entrepreneurs. Here are my top 5 incredible women picks who’ve set up their own successful businesses and are helping other woman reach their own success. Take inspiration, ladies.

Introducing the 5 female entrepreneurs whose success we’d love to emulate…

1. Marie Forleo

Marie was named by Oprah as a ‘thought leader for the next generation’ and one of Inc’s ‘500 fastest growing companies’ of 2014. Her mission is to help you realize your greatest potential and use your unique talents to change the world. She reaches over 275,000 readers in 193 countries worldwide and leads dynamic training programs that teach individuals to succeed in business and life.

She’s the creator of the award-winning show MarieTV and has been featured in Entrepreneur Magazine, Fast Company, Glamour Magazine, Self Magazine, Forbes.com and The New York Times among others.

Marie has been interviewed by Tony Robbins as one of the world’s leading lifestyle and online marketing experts and mentored young business owners at Richard Branson’s Centre of Entrepreneurship in South Africa. Her bestselling book, Make Every Man Want You: How to Be So Irresistible You’ll Barely Keep from Dating Yourself!is published in 13 languages.

With loving yet wisecracking advice, Marie inspires a global community to take charge of their success and happiness by boosting their business skills, shedding BS excuses and injecting massive amounts of fun into each day.

2. Lori Greiner

Now regarded as one of the most prolific inventors of retail products, Lori Greiner has created over 450 products, and holds 120 U.S. and international patents. She is a star shark on the hit entrepreneurial business show, Shark Tank on ABC, where she invests in companies and helps turn dreams into a reality.

Lori also has had her own show on QVC-TV, for the past 16 years called “Clever & Unique Creations by Lori Greiner.” Lori says she can tell instantly if a product is a “hero or a zero”, and this is clearly shown through her many thriving investments and a 90% success rate on new items launched. Several of her investments are the highest success stories on Shark Tank to date.

Lori entered the literary world with her first book Invent It, Sell It, Bank It! which is a National Bestseller and is a hands on, step-by-step guide on how to turn an idea into a million dollar reality.

What I love most about Lori is her obvious belief that, if you are lucky enough to be successful, you have a responsibility to give back. It’s evident in everything she does.

3. Gabby Bernstein

Gabrielle Bernstein is another go getter on our list who has also been named “a next-generation thought leader” by Oprah Winfrey. She appears regularly as an expert on NBC’s Today Show and has been named “a new role model” by The New York Times. She is the New York Times bestselling author of Miracles Now, and May Cause Miracles. Her two additional titles include of Add More “ing” to Your Life and Spirit Junkie.

Gabrielle is also the founder of HerFuture.com, a social networking site for women to inspire, empower and connect. (It’s pretty awesome – you should check it out!)

Gabrielle has been on an international speaking circuit since 2004. She has presented lectures at Google, TEDxWomen, L’Oreal, Avon/mark. Cosmetics, The Chopra Center, The Omega Institute, among many other notable organizations.

She is a certified Kundalini yoga and meditation teacher. She is also trained in the Emotional Freedom Technique and she’s a student of Transcendental Meditation (as taught by the David Lynch Foundation).

YouTube chose Gabrielle as one of its ‘16 YouTube Next Video Bloggers’. Mashable Mashable included her in its list of ‘11 Must-Follow Twitter Accounts for Inspiration’. And Forbes even called her one of the ‘20 Best-Branded Women’.
