Plus, the three types of personalities prone to burnout.

It’s been an exciting week here at Forbes HQ: we unveiled our latest list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women, our accounting of America’s most successful female entrepreneurs. The accompanying digital and print package is, I’m not at all biased to say, the best we’ve ever put out.

On the print side, the list — and its cover star, Serena Williams — heralds a reimagining of the magazine that puts our photography and story subjects at the center of attention. You can read more about the fresh look here, but I’d highly encourage you to hit up a local news stand to see and feel the magazine for yourself. If you’re anything like me, you won’t want to put it down.

That’s also because of the stories that go alongside the list. From the inside look into Serena Ventures (more on that below) to the thorough accounting of the record number of self-made female billionaires (together, they’re worth $56 billion!) and fun dive into Rihanna’s $600 million fortune, there are thousands of words of business insights from the country’s highest-profile ceiling crashers and trailblazers for you to enjoy. I sincerely hope you do.

Cheers,
Maggie

P.S. We get a lot of advice-based stories on Forbes.com, and some of you have asked me for my favorite tip that I see on the site each week. Because some loved ones have some big round-number birthdays this summer, what I’m loving today is this piece on why “your age isn't the major threat to your life --it's your attitude towards it that is.”

Speaking Of Powerful Women…

We’re down to the final week to apply to attend the Forbes Women’s Summit, which is happening in New York City on June 17 and 18. Make-up mogul Anastasia Soare, #21 on the self-made list, will be speaking alongside many other luminaries and leaders. You won’t want to miss it!

News Of The Day: Inside Serena Williams’ Plan To Ace Venture Investing

You may have seen our mesmerizing new cover featuring Serena Williams, but have you taken a deeper look at how she became the first athlete ever to hit our annual list of the World’s Richest Self-Made Women? Her estimated fortune of $225 million didn’t all come from the tennis court. She’s been quietly investing in startups for five years, and recently announced Serena Ventures, which will fund companies founded by women and minorities as well as launch some her own.

ICYMI: Stories From The Week

JPMorgan Chase announced a settlement with Derek Rotondo, an employee who was denied 16 weeks paid parental leave because he was not presumed to be his family’s primary caregiver. The company agreed to adjust the policy to apply to both mothers and fathers if--and here’s the catch--that person is the primary caregiver. The policy “continues to perpetuate a standard that couples must choose a breadwinner and a caregiver,” writes contributor Mary Beth Ferrante.

Have you ever loved a hotel so much that you thought to yourself: “I could live here”? Linda S. Law did, and three decades later purchased Blantyre, a 1902 Gilded Age estate and resort set on 110 acres of lush lawns and woodlands in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts

Nasty Gal’s newest collection featuring model Tara Lynn is part of a rapid evolution in plus-size swimwear, ushering in a new era of visibility for plus-size women.

Like many of our readers, Motherly co-founder and mom of two girls Jill Koziol isn’t surprised with the results of her platform’s annual State of Motherhood Survey: 85% of millennial moms say our society doesn't support mothers--but they have some good ideas to make it better.

Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund cofounders Roberta Kaplan and Tina Tchen have launched HABIT, which stands for harassment, acceptance, bias and inclusion training and helps C-suite executives and board directors reshape company culture.

A 21-year-old American woman named Lexie Alford claims she just became the youngest person in history to travel to all 196 sovereign nations on earth--her last being North Korea. Once verified by Guinness World Records, she’ll officially beat the 24-year-old current world record holder and join the historic ranks of other travelers like Cassie De Pecol, who became the fastest woman on record to visit every country.

#1: Let yourself off the “passion” hook. Columnist Stephanie Burns argues that, just like work/life balance, following your passion is a myth for many people. It can make us strive for something we can’t achieve and then feel bad about ourselves.

#2: Think and say, “I did well.”  Among other great pieces of advice, bestselling author of 'Grit' Angela Duckworth says to fight the temptation to think rejection means you failed. “I love that women can be empathetic and feel an obligation to take feedback but I also think it's important to be able to take feedback less personally than we sometimes do,” she says.

#3: Try this $10 innovation trick. This quick exercise—a “field trip” designed around a Hamilton—could work to spark creativity with a team or on your own.
