I believe that all entrepreneurs need a mentor—whether they are a seasoned professional or just beginning the journey. With today’s technology, a mentor does not have to work in your industry or live in your community. I have never met many of the influential business entrepreneurs that inspire me, but I utilize several digital platforms to connect with and learn from them. I follow, like, and share their lessons—they have become my virtual mentors! I thought I would share the names of the top 10 business entrepreneurs that I follow on social media.
- Sir Richard Branson, Founder of Virgin Group
- Sara Blakely, Founder of Spanx and FSU graduate
- Brené Brown, professor at the University of Houston, great TED speaker
- Jeff Bullas, digital marketing expert
- Sheryl Connelly, Futurist for Ford Motor Company
- Scott Monty, social media visionary and pioneer
- Bill Gates, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and founder of Microsoft
- Sheryl Sandberg, COO at Facebook and founder of Leanin.org
- Oprah Winfrey, media star and philanthropist
- Gary Vaynerchuk, CEO of VaynerMedia
Do you have suggestions for other names? I am always interested in adding new names to my list.
