5 Women Entrepreneurs Shaking The Startup World With Big Moves
Alexa von Tobel, LearnVest’s founder
Alexa is the founder and CEO of LearnVest.com, which is an award-winning personal finance website. Von Tobel is also the author of the New York Times bestseller Financially Fearless. The LearnVest Program stresses on behavior change and “takes you from cutting expenses to budgeting for goals to investing your money.”
This college dropout just knows how to take her business to greatest heights and her advice regarding leadership: “The impact of me saying something grew very quickly, as the company went from a team of five people to 20 and then 150. I had to become more thoughtful about my opinions. So one thing I now say probably 100 times a week is, 'Here’s my bad idea; make it better.' I don’t have the best idea in the room. Just because I’m the CEO doesn’t mean that I’m the smartest.”
The main reason of LearnVest’s success is due to Tobel’s vision and willingness to take a risk that has helped thousands of people work toward their own version of being financially fearless.
