How Self-Made Women Are Redefining Success

The Game-Changing Life Credential for Female Entrepreneurs is here ...

What does it take to build a multi-million-dollar business as a woman in today’s world?

Grit, vision, and relentless drive—yes. But also, a new kind of education that values real-world experience over traditional academia.

This is the era of the entreprenologist and visioneeer ... the woman who thinks for herself !

Enter the PHD - Professional Higher Doctorate in Entreprenology—a life credential that recognizes the mastery of entrepreneurship, innovation, and resilience. It’s not just another degree; it’s a distinction earned through lived experience, success, and impact.

This credential brings Knowledge, Experience and Imagination Together and is the written expression and example of your life's journey to financial, emotional and physical success.

It can only be gained at International University of Entreprenology - a discipline with 53 years of history and a legacy now to shift the balance of women being joint custodians with wise men if we desire a prosperous and fair economic and social landscape ahead.

In this Newsletter, I highlight three extraordinary women who built empires without MBAs, corporate ladders, or traditional PhDs—but with the mindset of true entreprenologists and who love to give back and help other women succeed.

1. Huda Kattan – From Beauty Blogger to Billionaire Mogul

Huda Kattan didn’t start with an MBA—she started with a passion for beauty and an eye for trends. She launched Huda Beauty from a modest blog, leveraging digital marketing and authentic storytelling to disrupt the global cosmetics industry.

• She invested $6,000 of her savings into her first product—false eyelashes—and turned it into a $1 billion empire.
• She proved that entrepreneurship is about vision, adaptability, and execution—not formal business degrees.
• A PHD in Entreprenology honors and recognizes her mastery of branding, digital commerce, and scaling a global business.

2. Sara Blakely – Turning $5,000 into Spanx’s Billion-Dollar Success

Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, started with no business background—just a simple idea and an unshakable belief in her product. She:

• Launched Spanx with $5,000 in savings and no outside investors.
• Personally pitched her product to retailers who initially dismissed her—until Oprah endorsed it.
• Grew Spanx into a global shapewear empire, making her the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire.

Her journey embodies entreprenology in action: spotting a gap, solving a problem, and executing against all odds. We honor her giving back to many new women-owned start-ups.

3. Vicki Saunders – Championing Women’s Capital Access

Vicki Saunders, founder of SheEO, realized that the biggest barrier for female entrepreneurs wasn’t ideas or execution—it was access to funding. Instead of following traditional VC models, she:

• Created a radical funding network where women fund, support, and mentor each other.
• Built a global ecosystem of women-led businesses, proving that entrepreneurship isn’t just about money—it’s about reshaping systems.
• Is redefining how we invest in female-led enterprises to drive long-term economic change.

A PHD in Entreprenology recognizes and honors impact like hers—where success isn’t just about personal wealth but about transforming industries and empowering others.

Why We Honor these Women and Why this Matters for Female Entrepreneurs

Unlike traditional PhDs, the PHD in Entreprenology isn’t about theory—it’s about results. It acknowledges the self-made entrepreneurs, the risk-takers, the disruptors who build businesses, create jobs, and change industries.

This is a MOVEMENT MISSIONED to elevate 500 women of natural merit, grit, tenacity, innovation and creative application to build measurable success - like our examples above....

For the 500 women we aim to elevate in the next three years, this credential isn’t just an accolade—it’s a global movement recognizing real-world entrepreneurial mastery of women who will alongside wise men of the future mindset align with us and change the world.
