Business ownership amongst females is on the rise. As a woman in business, you must be tough and resilient. You need the resilience of steel because there are many challenges that come with entrepreneurship, mentally as well as financially.

One reason for this rise in female entrepreneurship is that women have more opportunities available to them now than ever before. They're encouraged and supported at every level from school, as well as through their careers which give them the confidence they need to become entrepreneurs.

There are many females who have been creating big waves in entrepreneurship recently. However, here are 6 business women you should know about in 2022. These women are set to change the world in their own unique way and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.

Kierra Butcher

Kierra Butcher, also known as The Fast Track Girl, is the go-to expert for selling digital items on Etsy. As the Etsy business coach, she has been helping women create a passive income from home, especially stay-at-home moms.

Her passion and dedication in helping women have seen hundreds create new sources of income, making thousands every month without the typical types of work stay-at-home moms often do.

Her meteoric rise to start selling digital products on Etsy was a great awakening after she struggled with depression. By then, she was a stay-at-home mom. Kierra started making videos and sharing her unfiltered journey on TikTok. Her primary goal in creating the videos was to encourage and educate others to follow in her footsteps.

Even greater, though Kierra feels proud to have grown to such a level that it's not just her alone but has built a team. "To be able to provide a job and income for multiple people, making a positive impact in their lives, that is something that truly hits different, fulfilling you in a whole different way."

With an excellent experience of over a decade in the online coaching space, she has managed to create over 867 Million impressions in the media and counting. She has also spoken at TEDx in Boston and featured in BBC, Forbes, The Times, Guardian, and many more.

She is the founder of The Empowered Woman Project, a place where strong, healthy, and confident women are built.

Allyjana came from a corporate job where she felt unfulfilled. She chose to build her own online business from scratch even without prior business experience. She hired coaches and mentors with her last savings. Guess what? It paid back tenfold, and within a year, Allyjana was already enjoying twice her income and broadening her impact globally.

Today, Allyjana is helping female entrepreneurs and leaders develop strong bodies and minds. She helps women wholeheartedly believe in themselves and find worth beyond the weight on the scale. She guides them to uncover their purpose and understand their "why' if they want their success to be sustainable. Understanding her "why' made her overcome the challenges of the pandemic, which had made her gym close down.

However, she knew that many women still needed her help. It is her "why" that made her disrupt the industry amid a biting pandemic.

Kim Woods

In the business world, intuition is being talked about more and more. However, intuitive strategy, or the combination of intuition with the standard strategic methods, is not.

Kim Woods, The Intuitive Business Strategist, helps business leaders shed the expectations of others to live their true life purpose. She combines her powerful, intuitive gifts with 30+ years of business experience through her revolutionary Do You Know, Like and Trust Yourself™ Process, which turns the traditional KLT factor inside out. So instead of customers needing to know, like, and trust you, YOU know, like, and trust yourself, because Kim believes when you do, "you make better decisions, strengthen support and attract your soul mate clients."

As a boutique firm, Kim's always looking for ways to reach more people. She has a book coming out in Q3 2022 giving insights into knowing, liking, and trusting yourself. Since this is a difficult question to answer, she's created a quiz with six archetype results. The thousands who've taken the quiz better understand how their intuition works and discover ways to use intuitive strategy in their daily lives and businesses.

Kim's talent of relying on ancient wisdom for deep energetic analysis, divination readings, and meditative tools, plus an innate ability to download the requisite business models combined with practical experience for industry trends and projections, are incredibly unique.
