Here's a few powerful ladies who have used hard work and a strong character to succeed. Perfect influences for younger girls to admire!

Bethany Mota

Used her passion for makeup to build her own Youtube empire. Ideal example of how dedication and talent can pay off!

Anna Wintour

Not only is Anna at the top Vogue's empire, but Vogue is also at the top of the world's fashion magazine empire. Anna shows how far sticking to your instincts can take you. Not to mention how you can use failure as a stepping stone.

Paris Hilton

There was a point in time when Paris was known for nothing but being ignorant and a party girl. Now she owns her own multi-million dollar business, and does not thrive off of her inheritance. Paris is a perfect example of how you do not have to let your past determine your future.

Who else do you think should have made the cut?
