Inspiring Books for Female Entrepreneurs You Need to Know in 2021

In the last century, women have made an immense effort to be present on the map of success when it comes to entrepreneurship. They have a big influence, but they can do a lot more. Women have a higher success rate in the business, but they take less risk.

Women-owned and led businesses are a better bet for investors, but a lack of venture capitalists indicates that they still struggle to raise the funds they need, according to statistics on female entrepreneurs.

Famous people also believe that the way we view entrepreneurs needs to improve. They say we shouldn't think of CEOs as men or women, but rather as individuals who are good or bad at what they do.

When the world understands this concept, the world of entrepreneurship will become a better place for both men and women.

That's why I enjoy reading motivational business books written by women who have created successful companies and aren't afraid to admit their mistakes. You will learn a lot from other people's experiences and even be inspired by their accomplishments.

To help and motivate females I am sharing some inspiring books for the female entrepreneurs that every female need to read and these books are sure to relight that fire.

 HOW TO BE AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS – MARIA HATZISTEFANIS

Rodial's cult snake serum was quickly labeled an "overnight success" by the press when it was first released. Rodial's creator Maria Hatzistefanis, on the other hand, had been toiling away in her bedroom for 18 years, creating the business from scratch. Now, in this very open novel, the beauty boss sets out to show how its success was built on sheer hard work, tireless efforts, and a lot of patience.

Fashionistas Maria set out with the goal of starting a beauty company, despite failing to succeed in school and being fired from her first job. She achieved her goals by dreaming big, working hard, surrounding herself with the brightest, taking chances, generating buzz, and building a following.

GIRL ON FIRE – CARA LEYBA

Girl on Fire, by the best-selling author of Girl Code, teaches you how to start living the life you want without asking anyone else's permission. You'll be motivated to overcome any obstacles in your industry if you support women who create their own opportunities.

This book is for any woman who has had a vision that others might not be able to comprehend. It's for any woman who's had enough of following the rules. It's for every woman who has always felt she was meant for more but has waited far too long for the approval she thought she deserved.

This is one of mine favorite quote from the book “Successful entrepreneurs don't wait for their "big break" —they create it. They don't wait to be featured in a magazine, or picked up by a publisher, or given a chance to speak on a stage. They promote themselves on platforms they create, they self-publish their own books, they launch their own podcasts, they create their own events, and build their own stages.”
