Grace Lever, a longtime advocate for entrepreneurial empowerment among women, is the founder of GraceLever.com & The Doing Academy, a community of more than 10,000 female entrepreneurs dedicated to taking action in pursuit of the loftiest of lifestyle business goals. As the founder of this still-growing community, Grace continues to be inspired by the accomplishments of her entrepreneurial peers and remains devoted to providing all the tools and resources necessary for creating a lifestyle business poised for sustained success and long-term profitability.
Grace, a digital marketing expert who graduated from the International College of Business in Sydney, Australia, created GraceLever.com & The Doing Academy after enjoying repeated entrepreneurial successes that included the founding of multiple seven-figure businesses in a remarkably brief period of time. Grace’s previous entrepreneurial successes serve as the basis for the strategies and principles she shares with the community of entrepreneurs found at GraceLever.com & The Doing Academy, but it is the philosophy revolving around the concept of “doing” that is at the core of the entrepreneurial successes so many community members have felt empowered to pursue.
In addition to her responsibilities as the founder of GraceLever.com & The Doing Academy, Grace continues to host speaking engagements, workshops, and seminars on lifestyle business entrepreneurship. The process automation and entrepreneurial expert also shares her insight and expertise as an author published across a variety of mediums, allowing Grace to reach a global audience of aspiring female entrepreneurs in need of a potent source of inspiration and empowerment.
Known throughout the entrepreneurial community for her repeated admonition to “stop dreaming and start doing,” Grace’s own entrepreneurial efforts have allowed her to carry out her professional responsibilities amidst the idyllic surroundings of Adelaide Hills. At GraceLever.com & The Doing Academy, Grace continues to find new ways to inspire others to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams and to feel empowered enough to take the initiative to actively begin the pursuit of those dreams until they become reality.
