Career success means different things to different women from salary, to status and promotion, to self-development or being able to “make a difference”.
This Saturday during ESSENCE Festival of Culture, Deborah Owens (financial expert, author, entrepreneur) facilitated the conversation “Next Level Focused: Stepping Stones to Greatness” presented by Ford in order to help women discover what career success means to them.
During this segment we asked three entrepreneurs (Monique Idlett-Mosely, Co-Founder, Reign Ventures; Toya Hankins, Entertainment Manager; Marshawn Evans Daniels, Owner, ME Unlimited LLC) to share their secrets to success and how women can also step into their own greatness.

Monique Idlett-Mosley, the founder and CEO of technology fund Reign Ventures, was challenged with the difficult task of building a million-dollar company in 90 days without all of her resources. Throughout her journey, she turned to the one thing that has always been there for her: her Christian faith.
The music mogul and brains behind the Mosley Music Group, in partnership with ex-husband Tim “Timbaland” Mosley, left her home in Miami, Florida, to film the new series “Undercover Billionaire: Comeback City” in Takoma, Washington, which premiered on Jan. 6 on Discovery. With only $100 and absolutely no connections or other resources, she was challenged to build a million-dollar business out of $100.

The surprise hit for Discovery last year was the introduction of wealthy businessman Glenn Stearns to the audiences in his unusual rags to riches effort, Undercover Billionaire.
The premise was simple, strip a mogul of his assets and contacts, give him the bare bones to survive and see if his entrepreneurial know-how can recreate a viable million dollar business. In about three months.
It was a tough road for Stearns who was very sick during the filming, but in the end, he pulled it out and Erie, Pennsylvania is all the better for being the lucky city that received Glenn’s workaround problem-solving mind and sheer tenacity.
