Among the first steps toward starting your business in EU is inspiration, motivation and the necessary related information. Secondly, guidance to national and European websites that can provide legal advice, financial assistance and marketing and sales tips is needed. Third, it is recommended to seek for advice and take it from the experts on the field, mentors or ambassadors.

You can learn a lot from success stories. If you lack confidence or ideas, you can get inspired by reading the two success stories of these strong women below:
