about career advice and exalting her as their
role model for work success.

And, boom, Mogul was born.

An Entrepreneur Who Means Business

A self-taught coder, precocious Pham built a
very primitive, self-proclaimed “ugly” version
of Mogul and sent it to a couple of thousand
women whom she befriended
through emails. Within seven
short days, the site grew to more
than one million users, recently
launching its brand-new, way
“prettier” app worldwide.

A “Jill of all Trades,” Pham
also authored two books since
launching her superwoman
site, You Are a Mogul: How
to Do the Impossible, Do it
Yourself, and Do it Now and
Girl Mogul: Dream It, Do It,
Change the World. In addition
to all the female-empowering
perks, the online platform
is also partnered with some
famously successful females, whom Pham
aptly dubs “Mogul Mentors,” like Madeline
Albright, Katie Couric, Margaret Cho, and
Rebecca Minkoff among others. With a staff
of 40 employees and growing, pro-woman
Mogul also licenses software to Fortune
500 companies, including IBM and Ultimate
Software, with the intent to help attract a
diverse, driven talent pool, while working
toward a more level playing field, like equal

pay and opportunity within the workforce. A
continuous slate of self-help, “finding your
purpose” based webinars featuring notable
guest entrepreneurs are also offered to
Mogul members and is just a snippet of the
fringe benefits aspiring business women
can take away from the hugely resourceful
platform.

A Site with Star Power

Coming September, 1,500 goal-getting gals
will descend upon the concrete jungle of
NYC for a month of exclusive money-making
and goal-setting sessions headed by keynote
speaker and money maven Suzie Orman. The
finance and goal guru who recently joined
Mogul’s board of advisors lauded, “I knew her
[Pham’s] goal was to transform women and
their lives, especially young women. And, I
loved that because that doesn’t exist today.
It’s always a woman angle, and this wasn’t so

Keep in mind, a


“no” is just a “not


right now” that can


easily turn into an


emphatic “yes” with


hard work, patience,


perseverance, and


self-discovery.
