So first of all, what exactly is a mogul? Dictionary.com gives us this definition:

An important, powerful, or influential person: A very rich or powerful person; a magnate. a mogul of the movie industry.

I heard Kimora Lee Simmons (Baby Phat) use it in the intro to her reality show. She said something like "I’m a model, a mogul and a mom." I liked how it sounded so I looked it up. It’s become something of a game amongst my friends, "let’s be Hot Moguls" ~ we added "doing work we love and giving back to the world in a MAJOR way."

Take my quiz to find out if you’re already a Hot Mogul or if you’re on your way to getting there. Once you’ve tallied your points, I’ve got some tips for developing your Hot Mogul-ness. Send me your results and any more Hot Mogul Tips you come up with! We’ll be awarding the Hot Mogul Award in an upcoming issue- (there’s a prize!) so send us your entry- tell us why you are a Hot Rock Star Mogul.  My intention is to surround myself with lots of Hot *Rock Star* Moguls- who lift me up, inspire me to play Bigger in my life and give their gifts, talents and abundance back to the world.
