In times of challenges, Female Entrepreneurs Worldwide (FEW), together&nbsp;with Gafencu and De Beers, worked together to interview several&nbsp;influential women who can inspire us to shine bright, no matter how dark&nbsp;the shadows sometimes seem. We believe that the strength of a&nbsp;woman&#8217;s spirit is as resilient as that of a natural diamond itself, born&nbsp;through hard work and under intense pressure.

Alison didn’t always know what she wanted in life, but&nbsp;she knows that she can do something big, something&nbsp;important. She is always working to be a better version&nbsp;of herself &#8211; just like a natural diamond &#8211; when it&#8217;s&nbsp;polished and incorporated into a piece of jewellery, it&nbsp;will transform into a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

Victoria understands that “starting a business is tough,&nbsp;especially being a women-owned business. It takes&nbsp;courage and discipline.” I like the touch and feel of&nbsp;rough diamonds, understated yet powerful. Just like in&nbsp;life, some things do not have to be polished or perfect.&nbsp;

Diana Chou, the founder and Chairman of Dragon General Aviation Group, (DGA), has over time been a strong leader and mentor for up and coming female entrepreneurs.&nbsp;“When you see a natural diamond, you don’t know its brilliance until you have to shape it, polish it, before it will shine. This is just like a woman going through life, and they need to be polished before they can shine”.

Diana also sits on the board of directors of FEW from the early years and she&nbsp;always shared with them that&nbsp;sometimes we&nbsp; need to experience&nbsp;setbacks in order to learn and grow &#8211; it&#8217;s&nbsp;like a caterpillar that undergoes a&nbsp;transformational process to become a&nbsp;butterfly.

Anna: “Diana is a wonderful mentor&nbsp;because she shares her life, experiences,&nbsp;and struggles. She let me see how she&nbsp;manages the ups and downs in her life.&nbsp;She invites me to her business meetings&nbsp;and friends gatherings. She let me see&nbsp;how she runs things.&#8221;
Ines: &#8220;Diana is a great inspiration, as she&nbsp;inspires us to pay it forward and mentor&nbsp;other younger women. And we are&nbsp;constantly looking for more great&nbsp;business and corporate leaders to&nbsp;mentor our members.&#8221;

Two important men in my life&#8230;
<ul>
<li>I was working for my father and&nbsp;was always overshadowed by him,&nbsp;and not allowed to cry in front of&nbsp;him. He said: &#8220;Excuses are just&nbsp;excuses. Fix it. Face it.&#8221; I had to&nbsp;constantly prove my creative&nbsp;output to him. All of&nbsp; these make&nbsp;me stronger Today.</li>
<li>My husband is left-brained,&nbsp;strategic and business-minded — a great planner. We complement&nbsp;each other so well in each single&nbsp;aspect, which is beautiful.</li>
</ul>
Starting a business is tough, how I did it..
<ul>
<li>Have a genuine passion for what&nbsp;you do, not falling into habits of&nbsp;working simply to work.</li>
<li>Commit to it 100%. If you don&#8217;t&nbsp;believe in it, no one does. Stand on&nbsp;your own feet.</li>
<li>Find the right partner and people for&nbsp;you to work and surround yourself.</li>
<li>“You are what you give, not what&nbsp;you are given&#8221; is what I was told in&nbsp;my early adult life.</li>

<blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">“I&#8217;m adventurous, determined, and spontaneous”</h3>
Alison didn’t always know what she wanted in life, but she knows that she can do something big, something important. She is always working to be a better version of herself &#8211; just like a natural diamond &#8211; when it&#8217;s polished and incorporated into a piece of jewellery, it will transform into a truly one-of-a-kind piece.</blockquote>
My Struggles:
<ul>
<li>I was feeling dark and lost in my&nbsp;teenage years, as my parents got&nbsp;divorced&#8230;</li>
<li>Thinking how to transition to the&nbsp;next chapter in my life and conquer&nbsp;the fears.</li>
<li>Give up other aspects of my life for&nbsp;being a full-time mom and my kids.</li>
<li>Who am I outside of mom, outside&nbsp;of my kids?</li>
</ul>
How I conquer my hard times:
<ul>
<li>It’s okay to feel lost and have doubt&nbsp;in certain stages of your life.</li>
<li>Waking up every day feeling&nbsp;motivated is just unrealistic. Do not&nbsp;pretend everything is alright.</li>
<li>You don&#8217;t need to be perfect or a&nbsp;billionaire.</li>
<li>It’s all about accepting where&nbsp;you’re at.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Exercise and be grateful.</li>
</ul>
What I&#8217;m looking&nbsp;for now:
<ul>
<li>I believe I can do something.</li>
<li>I look for something on the side besides being a mom.</li>
<li>I want to live a happy and simple life with purpose.</li>
</ul>
