Whether it’s breaking the glass ceiling or battling stereotypes, no one’s denying women have come a long way. But we still have a long way to go.

From pitching to investors who are used to defining “entrepreneurs” as young, white, and male to tuning out the self-doubt that tears your confidence apart, below eight successful women entrepreneurs share how they take down the roadblocks in their way.

KEEP MOVING AND STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF.
Cher Wang, co-founder and chairperson of HTC Corporation

“You have to keep moving–and you need to be ready and willing to change course in order to realize your vision.”

Wang says that, whatever happens, the one thing that never changes is her willingness to be on the edge and stay true to herself. “I prefer to inspire my people and, in turn, be inspired by them in order to create what I hope will be incredible outcomes that will change society for the better. That’s not just what HTC’s all about. It’s what I personally believe and what my team needs to believe as we continue to push.”
