What do we love about her story:

Realistically, there have been other women who have cut off the bottom of their hosiery and it is likely that the idea crossed one of their minds that maybe this could be something others would like. But what likely happened is either:

(A) the voice of doubt in their head quickly shut down the idea, -OR- (B) they told someone and that person said it was not a good idea or possible or someone would have created this already or that cant be patented because hosiery already exists and this is not unique.

What makes Sara different is she said, let me just try. And that try turned into her becoming a self-made billionaire that has built a business in her own way, and she didn’t have to minimize herself or compromise herself or change herself throughout the journey.

What do we love about his story:

He wanted to create abundance while he was in college and asked his friends how do I legally make $10,000 per month. People around him did not believe it was possible and he did it anyway.

Beginning with just a few moments everyday dedicated to creating something out of nothing.

He did not let other's limited mindset influence his mindset that believed it was possible to invent something that could lead to abundance.

So many people are focused on the crisis and not the solution and here is Moses who said something can be done about this.

He did not worry how practical it seems. And he used discipline and focus to see his project come to fruition.

He did not let other's limited mindset influence his mindset that believed it was possible to invent something that could lead to providing more of a natural resource for his community and the broader world.

We love this story because this is someone who took a look at how things were being done and essentially said: “surely this can be done better.”

Louisa Serene Schneider started an ear-piercing business. She noticed that the ear-piercing business was not really a nice experience and in sometimes places the location did not look family friendly, which is odd since so many kids go with their parents go to get their first ear-piercing.

So Louisa launched a business to change this. She also thought about the fact about the health and hygiene importance of this practice and smartly hired nurses who do the piercing. This is fantastic because it is a supplemental source of income for them since some of them are part-time and this a nice fun additional source of income.

Another great thing about this entrepreneur and business is that they got creative during COVID. During COVID, they had their customers setup appointments, and their team would meet them outside of their home.

FUNDING: While she did have resources for funding, there is ways to start this idea small and still be extremely profitable. So funding is not a barrier to starting a great idea like this.

OPPORTUNITY: Also, she saw an opportunity that the ear-piercing industry was stale and not really a thoughtful experience. And also preempted any health concerns/questions by hiring nurses as the people to do the piercings.

Her story is another great story of noticing something inconvenient and doing something about it. She noticed the traditional beach bags were a hassle at the end of the day to clean or stand up sturdy or other little inconvenient things. So, she created a bag that she would enjoy. And she believed in herself and pursued inventing and patenting the bag. And also turning it into a business.

The business in the beginning was not a big success, and she hit a low point. But the great thing is she got back up and by using her bags to help with supporting a community after a disaster, from there things started to fall in line and her business became a booming thriving business. community.

Helena Faustin’s story is great because she did not wait for approval from others around her to believe in her idea and she just started.

She grew up as many who grew up in immigrant households being told to pursue traditional career paths because of the stability and predictability those paths offer, but she had a passion and joy for her culture’s cuisine and wanted to explore that. So, she did. And she started in a modest way, and her platform blossomed.

Muhammad Yunus’s story is truly inspiring and reminder that we can all do something to make society better and even the smallest gesture can have a profound impact in someone’s life and grow into a movement bigger than we could have ever imagined.

Professor Yunis noticed a problem in the community surrounding the university where he taught and he saw people suffering from borrowing. And the amount they were borrowing were not large amounts. So, he started a microlending system/approach in that community and started writing about his experience and his approach has led to other organizations modeling his approach to help empower communities.

"Natasha Orumbie, the visionary behind The Vegan Patty Lady. As a passionate vegan for the past three years, Natasha understands the struggle of missing out on the savoury experience that meat provides. Due to this, she recognised a gap in the market. There was a need for vegan options that not only meet dietary requirements, but also satisfy the cravings for authentic, culturally-flavoured foods. So what about vegan patties with a meaty taste?" [citation: Natasha's website].
