SELF MADE – Empowered, Self-Reliant & Rich in Every Way

To be able to say “I am self-made” is an honor. To be self-made is a new way of defining success for women. A self-made woman is free because she is financially independent or on her way. A self-made woman acts as if she has an owner’s stake in every aspect of her life—because she does. A self-made woman is empowered, self-reliant, and rich in every way.

Becoming self-made does not have to be a grandiose feat. You don’t have to look up to find a self-made woman. Just look around you. She’s the stay-at-home mom with a baby who runs an online boutique out of her apartment; the cleaning lady who books through her website and charges through PayPal; the freelance nurse who processes payments through Square; the franchise owner who employs her whole family; the corporate employee who sells her jewelry designs on Etsy; the empty nester who rents out rooms in her house through Airbnb; the baker who promotes her one-of-a-kind cakes on Instagram; the woman who makes Vine videos for corporations with her teenage child; the millennial who is paying off college by driving for Uber. These women are changing the economic future for themselves, for their families, and for generations to come. Self-made is a call to action, and it is a leap forward in the economic evolution of women. This is our moment to choose empowerment.
