Top Business Women in Australia: What can you learn from them?

Naomi Simson, founder of redballoon

Every woman has the same potential as a man, but often something stops them realising their ambitions.

Often it can be a stereotype that a woman can have either a happy family or a successful career. But never both. But with the right approach to work and a healthy relationship with the spouse, it is possible. And the success stories of the women we are talking about in this article prove it.

Another reason may be a lack of seed capital. This problem can be solved with the help of the business loans provided by the Personal Money Service company that cooperates with many reputable lenders in Australia.

All women need to realise is that all the barriers are in their head and these examples of successful Australians are a direct confirmation of this fact.
 

Maxine Horne

Maxine Horne is the founder and CEO of one of the fastest growing companies in Australia – Vita Group. It all started with one small store in 1995 and grew into an electronic retail giant.

Once Maxine realized that no one is selling mobile phones retail capacity in Australia. So she and her husband decided to occupy this niche and become pioneers. Now the company specialises in mobile phones and computers.

Advice from Maxine: make a clear division between work and family. Maxine sticks to the rule “no work at home”. It will help you to keep the balance and be successful in both family life, and in business.

Naomi Simson

The main motivation for founding her own Internet company for Naomi Simson was the desire to spend more time with the family. So she left her job and created her own web-based business RedBalloon, which sells original gifts to Australians online.

Naomi was able not only to build a successful business but also to create almost ideal work atmosphere for her employees. And it brought her many awards.

Now Naomi invests a lot of energy on inspiring other women to do their work and transfer their experience. She leads her blog and even wrote the book “I Want What She’s Having”, filled with helpful tips and motivation.

Advice from Naomi: do not be afraid to leave the comfort zone, to realize your business idea. Even if no one supports you, it does not mean that you will not succeed.

Jo Horgan

Before Jo established her own company, she learned the features of cosmetic companies working in L’Oreal in the UK and Australia.

Working in such a giant she realized that there is no company in Australia that would produce high-quality cosmetics. First, it was a small thought but it became the beginning of the Mecca Cosmetica brand. Now the brand’s products, including Jo’s own branded ranges, are very popular not only in Australia but also in other countries across the world.

Advice from Jo: Steal as an artist. Do not be afraid to use someone’s idea, to create something of your own. After all, each musician uses the same notes as the other. And all poets use the same words. Your own interpretation of someone else’s idea is what the original product is.

Emma Isaacs

Emma Isaacs is the owner of many different companies, but one of the most important ones for herself is Business Chicks.

Business Chicks is an online community where businesswomen from all around the world can communicate and share ideas. And Emma Isaacs has something to share with the others.

She founded her first company of recruitment at the age of 18. And in ten years she was the owner of many different companies.

Advice from Emma: communicate and share your experiences with others. It helps not only to be in the stream of business news but also causes a sense of competition. And competition is an excellent motivator, which makes us develop and become more successful.

These are just a few examples of the fact that women can be successful, no matter what. In Australia, there are many businesswomen, who realized themselves in both business and in their personal lives. They are a living denial of all stereotypes.
