Three in-depth interviews on well-known and successful Costa Rican women entrepreneurs were conducted by means of narrative techniques. Our findings provide empirical evidence suggesting that the motivations of very successful women entrepreneurs are universal. Besides, the constraints of very successful female entrepreneurs are diverse, from which the need of financial support, the lack of strategic planning, the bureaucracy lack of knowledge in marketing, the reaction of competitors, stand out as relevant constraints. Furthermore, our study reveals that intangible factors, that is, human and social capital, are fundamental to growth and consolidation of companies created and managed by women. Finally, our results suggest that women entrepreneurs prefer to measure their entrepreneurial success through emotional and personal aspects rather than through financial or market metrics. Profundizamos en las historias de vida de mujeres emprendedoras de renombre para descubrir las motivaciones, limitaciones y factores de éxito del surgimiento del emprendimiento femenino exitoso. Mediante técnicas narrativas, realizamos tres entrevistas en profundidad a muy reconocidas y exitosas mujeres empresarias costarricenses. Nuestros hallazgos proporcionan evidencia empírica que sugiere que las motivaciones de las mujeres empresarias exitosas son universales. Además, las limitaciones de las mujeres emprendedoras muy exitosas son diversas, de las cuales se destacan como limitaciones relevantes, la necesidad de apoyo financiero, a falta de planificación estratégica, la burocracia falta de conocimiento en marketing, la reacción de los competidores. Además, nuestro estudio revela que los factores intangibles, es decir, el capital humano y social, son fundamentales para el crecimiento y consolidación de las empresas creadas y dirigidas por mujeres. Finalmente, nuestros resultados sugieren que las mujeres emprendedoras prefieren medir su éxito empresarial a través de aspectos emocionales y personales en lugar de métricas financieras o de mercado.
