Is there a person out there that doesn’t love Oprah? We sure do! She is everything this site is about! When you say “successful business woman,” her name is the first thing that comes to mind. I want to send her a pair of glass heels! ForbesWoman posted an article today on “How to Lead Like Oprah.”

She focused on being leader first, and the billionaire title was just a nice little side effect.
