You've GOT to meet these six inspiring women!

International Women's Day is coming up this Friday! The purpose is to celebrate women's achievements in all arenas, from politics to culture and everywhere in between. This year's event theme, "Inspire Inclusion," encourages us to connect with and empower other women. I quite literally couldn't have built my business if it wasn't for the support of other women. From my team at One Good Thing to fellow bloggers, business owners, and, of course, my community of readers and customers! There is truly something magical about women working together and helping each other succeed. Time and again over the past 13 years, I've experienced and benefitted from the power of women working together to succeed as a collective. Those experiences continue to inspire me to pay it forward by helping other women navigate the challenges of starting a business or creative venture. In that spirit, I want to introduce you to six incredible women entrepreneurs and the businesses they've built. Not only do I believe you'll love their companies and products, but I think you'll find their stories as inspiring as I do! Jill Murphy, [Keep Going Today]( Use the coupon code YOUGOTTHIS for 25% off [20-card packs from Keep Going Today]( After her father was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, Jill Murphy spent a lot of time with him in hospitals, rehab centers, and care centers, where she saw a lot of lonely and sad people. As a way to spread happiness in these spaces, Jill was inspired to start Keep Going Today, which makes inspirational posters and cards for display in doctors' offices, hospitals, care homes, schools, orphanages, offices, and even homes. Jill says to women who want to start a business, "Go for your dreams. I let mine sit still for over five years, so I knew it was time. You deserve to be happy and in charge of your own time and schedule."

April Kleven is a devoted wife, mother of five, and the multi-passionate artist behind The Art Of April. After experiencing financial hardships growing up in a single-income household, as an adult, she has worked to supplement her own family’s income through several different business ventures. April started developing holistic healing talents and stress management practices after struggling with her health. Those talents and practices inspired April to create her best-selling product: [a pocket-sized ceramic “pause button”]( that helps its users center themselves in mindfulness. April says of her success as an entrepreneur, “[It] gives me a sense of safety, freedom, and empowerment as a woman and mother, and the satisfaction of being able to use my God-given gifts to lift, inspire, and beautify the lives of others.” [SHOP THE ART OF APRIL]( Terri Neuerburg, [Liz and Ivy]( Use the coupon code JILLEE for 20% off your [Liz & Ivy]( order!

Her biggest challenge is familiar to many of us: finding the time to be a good wife, mother, and worker at the same time. "I've learned you can't do everything yourself," Terri says. "Delegating certain tasks will not only keep you sane, but it will help your business grow. Oh — and hire someone to clean your house. It is life-changing!"

Bark Avenue Couture has given Christine a creative outlet and the ability to do the things she loves, including spoiling her sweet pup Finn. Christine says, “If you have a desire to be an entrepreneur, take that desire and go after it. Surrounding yourself with others who are willing to share their success stories is the best advice I can share.” [SHOP BARK AVENUE COUTURE]( Jasmine Martin, [LAVIEDOVE]( Use the coupon code LOVE35 for 35% off your [LAVIEDOVE]( order!

Jasmine loves engaging with her customers and offering them new perspectives on style and dress. “One piece of advice I wholeheartedly offer to every woman out there is to pursue their dreams,” she says. “Every challenge becomes more manageable because you are driven by passion and purpose.” [SHOP LAVIEDOVE]( Libby Beske, [Beske Bakes]( Use the coupon code JILLEE30 for 30% off any [Beske Bakes cookie decorating class]( Libby Beske says she started Beske Bakes “by accident” through her hobby of baking and decorating cookies for her coworkers, friends, and family. After embracing life as a stay-at-home mom following the birth of her third son, Libby heard about a little girl with leukemia and decided to sell her cookies to raise money to help with the girl’s medical costs. When orders just kept coming in, Libby’s fundraiser evolved into a business, and she now teaches [classes that provide step-by-step instructions]( for making beautifully decorated cookies. “I think that, as women, one of the [best] things we can lean into is our empathy. Lean into what and who you feel for, and let it be the “why” that guides your business,” Libby says.
