We had the good fortune of connecting with Colleen Biggs and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Colleen, how does your business help the community?
At the core of my business, Colleen Biggs, lies a commitment to empowering female entrepreneurs and making a tangible difference in their lives. My work focuses on providing women with the tools, guidance, and support they need to turn their business dreams into reality. By offering strategic coaching, mentorship, and resources, I help these women overcome challenges, build successful businesses, and achieve financial independence.

However, the impact of my work extends beyond individual success stories. By elevating female entrepreneurs, my business contributes to a broader social impact. Each thriving woman entrepreneur not only fuels economic growth but also inspires others in her community. Through workshops, retreats, and online platforms, I foster a supportive network where women can share their experiences, gain valuable insights, and uplift each other.

Furthermore, I am dedicated to addressing the systemic barriers that women face in the business world. By advocating for equality and providing access to essential business resources, my mission is to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all women entrepreneurs.

Ultimately, my business is more than just a career—it’s a movement toward creating a world where every woman has the opportunity to shine, contribute, and make a meaningful difference in her community and beyond.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Empowering Women Entrepreneurs and Building a Legacy

My business, B You B Strong, LLC, is dedicated to empowering female entrepreneurs by providing them with the tools, strategies, and support they need to succeed. What sets my business apart is our commitment to not just helping women achieve business success, but to fostering a community where they can thrive personally and professionally. Essentially I’m a master at Championing Women, as we all should!

One of the aspects I’m most proud of is the profound impact we’ve had on countless women’s lives. Seeing my clients grow from uncertainty to confidence, from struggle to success, is incredibly rewarding. I’m excited about the future as we continue to expand our programs, including workshops, local events including the Empower & Elevate Conferences, and coaching sessions, all designed to provide comprehensive support to female entrepreneurs.

My journey to where I am today has been far from easy. Starting from a young age, I faced numerous challenges, including early childhood abuse and corporate sexual harassment. These obstacles could have easily derailed my ambitions, but instead, they fueled my determination. I sought mentorship, invested in learning, and persevered through failed business partnerships and multiple restarts. Each challenge was met with resilience and a willingness to adapt, turning setbacks into stepping stones for growth.

The lessons I’ve learned along the way are invaluable. I’ve discovered that true success is not just about achieving goals but also about the strength and character developed through overcoming obstacles. It’s about embracing failures as opportunities for growth and remaining steadfast in your vision.

What I want the world to know about my brand is that it’s built on a foundation of empathy, empowerment, and excellence. My mission is to help women harness their unique strengths, navigate their business challenges, and achieve their financial goals. By creating a supportive environment and offering practical, actionable guidance, my goal is to elevate not just individual businesses, but the entire entrepreneurial landscape for women.

Ultimately, my story is one of resilience and passion, driven by a deep commitment to making a positive difference. I’m here to help women turn their dreams into reality and build a legacy of success and empowerment that extends far beyond their own achievements.
