Female Entrepreneurs to Follow on Instagram:

We worked hard to come up with this list of what we consider the best female Instagram accounts worth following.

Take the time to only follow only female entrepreneur influencers that you feel the most connected to.

Not only will this motivate you to work harder on your own content, but you will feel inspired daily.

We also took the time to come up with over 60 creative hashtags for female entrepreneurs worth using to help grow your account.

Here is a list of the best female Instagram accounts:

1. Melyssa Griffin (@melyssa_griffin)

As a businesswoman, I am sure you will come across a lot of inspiring business women to follow.

Melyssa is just of those women.

Melyssa is amazing and I have done my fair share of learning using her blog and listening to her Instagram stories.

She was one of the very first female bloggers that inspired me to start a blog and to own an online business.

At the time, I had little to no idea what I was doing, but her tutorials, videos, and courses have made me a better blogger for sure.

If you want to feel just as inspired, be sure to follow her on Instagram today!

I keep learning from her and I believe I will keep learning from her as she is amazing and is never afraid to share.

I have a sneaking suspicion that you didn’t build this business just so you can feel like you’re working another exhausting corporate job. You started your business because you want to make a difference in the world, and enjoy the freedom, creativity, and empowerment that entrepreneurship can bring. …But at this stage? You might feel like you have more questions than answers. You see the bigger VISION for your company (and it excites you beyond belief!), but it’s hard to see the concrete steps that will get you from here to where you want to go. Not to mention, you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and maybe even burnt out from being too “in the weeds” in your business, instead of allowing yourself to be the VISIONARY of your company. You may also be asking questions like… ✅ How do I create a suite of products and services that sells like hotcakes? ✅ How do I hire a rockstar team I can depend on so that I can finally be the leader of my company instead of an overworked employee? ✅ How do I create systems that help me run my business with total ease? ✅ How do I find a community of entrepreneurs who fills ME up instead of just the other way around? ✅ How do I work through the mindset blocks that have been following me around my entire life? Any of these questions sound familiar? Turns out, you’re not alone. And better yet? I know exactly what will help. 🙌🏼 I just released applications for my Bold Abundance Masterminds and we already have heaps of submissions from savvy, driven, wholehearted entrepreneurs who want to grow their impact, scale their revenue, and bust through any blocks that are keeping them from their greatness. There are two different programs built for entrepreneurs at different stages, so wherever you’re at in business, one of them is likely a perfect fit for you.😊 Click the link in my profile or visit BoldAbundanceMastermind.com to fill out an application! And of course, if you’ve got a Q, leave it below or send me a DM and I’ll respond personally.👇🏼😍

I plan my social media for the week in 40 minutes + here’s my process each Sunday… 1️⃣ I organize my posts around the 7-9 categories I regularly talk about each week (ex: behind-the-scenes, about me, work projects, etc). 2️⃣ I plan my post for each day using a caption template to help get my creativity going (and save time!) 3️⃣ On days when I want to post about something in the future (ex: this Tuesday I want to post about Social Curator enrollment closing), I simply make a note to take a picture on that day and post it then. 4️⃣ I plan my posts for IG and arrange for the posts to be shared on FB at a different time and day (making sure I don’t use hashtags or @ mentions on FB that only work on IG…be sure to respect the differences on each platform!) 5️⃣ Sit back and enjoy a good dinner with my family knowing my week is planned and I am saving time! 💃🏽 Do you have planning tips? Please share because I love productivity planning!

Me on Instagram vs me on Instagram Stories 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ When we lived abroad my mom came to visit after we’d been in Germany for about 6 months. We decided to go to Bern, Zurich, and Basel but all the hotels were so expensive. So we got an Airbnb. My mom’s first in Europe. Well the one in Zurich the guy was actually at his house when we stayed but he seemed nice enough and we’d rarely see him anyway. One night we came home late and all went to bed. My mom got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and there was the Airbnb host, butt-naked in the middle of winter, making eggs at 4am. It’s safe to say that was her last not private Airbnb. 😂🙈 WHY did I tell you this story? Because stories are what connect us. And I find it’s even easier to connect and relate on Instagram stories. Starting next Monday I’m hosting a free 7 day Instagram Stories Challenge! AND just for participating I’m giving away $500 (and with other prizes along the way!) Link in bio or stories

TEXT ME, no seriously. 📱 As I wrote down my goals for this year at the top of the list was “connection” and while I love all that social media brings to my world, it sometimes feels like a shouting match. So I did something a little crazy and got a number you can text me at so that I’m only one text away! Seriously, I’m giving you my digits so we can chat! I’ve been responding to a million, “Is this really you?” texts today (the answer is yes!) and connecting with you, my people! For the last five years I’ve sent five people a voice text daily just to connect, tell them I love them, encourage them and it hit me: why am I not doing this with YOU? So text me, let’s be BFFs and send emojis and hang out in iMessage so that the next time you get a text it’s from moi! I’ll be sending secret messages and exclusive things to my text community, you want in! Just text: ✨ 651-213-9338 ✨ or click the link in my profile to save me to your phone! I’m only one text away, babe! Ps. If I’ve texted you back, will you please comment so people can see that YES, it REALLY is me?! 🤗 K, thanks! BRB, busy texting my friends!

OK so here’s the deal: planning your entire 2020 might not be your best move rn. Lemme explain myself: I dunno about you, but I can’t plan my exact 12 months ahead because things *always* end up changing and it’s important to give yourself space to say yes to the right things that come along. Sure I know my BIG goals – revenue etc. but for the more granular, I don’t go past the next 6 months. I could be a whole new person by then, ya just can’t predict.This is a big reason we created a 90 day planner – so you can get clear on your path to success for the next 3 months. Then, you reassess and plan your next 90 days. It’s a game changer. Trust me. Anyway – planners are back in stock (hooray!) so make sure you get yours ready for the new year. Link in my bio. ✨📚 Oh and btw: you know we micromanaged every single detail of this planner to make sure it’s absolutely everything you need. You’re gonna love it. 😉

I feel that my list of fierce female entrepreneurs to follow on Instagram is pretty damn solid!

What do you think?

I know they are so many other amazing female entrepreneurs out there and this list might change or grow, but for now, this is a great start!

More Women to follow on Instagram:

I love doing an honourable list of those that I could not add to the main list but are absolutely worth following.

If you are eager for more women to follow on Instagram to help with your own business growth, then I highly suggest:

How do you become an Instagram entrepreneur?

Basically, I personally follow any entrepreneur that is able to offer value.

The more free information you are able to offer, the more your followers will trust and eventually buy from you or your business at some stage.

But first, you need to be established, give more and you will reap the benefits.

Very soon, people will start to follow you, quote you and swear by what you preach!
