Women Entrepreneurs Only

12 women entrepreneurs tell the stories of their success

Gregory K. Ericksen

An inspiring book about 12 outstanding women entrepreneurs - winners of Ernst and Young’s entrepreneur of the year award. These women entrepreneurs are from various backgrounds - the founder of Barney the hugely popular children’s cartoon character to Ruth’s Chris Steak House an upscale steak house to Seal It, Inc a heavy duty industrial product to Jenny Craig the widely popular weight loss system. What makes this book an interesting read is that all the women profiled came from an ordinary background and through their sheer will power, hard work, conviction in their ideas they are running their own multi-million business empires. There are valuable nuggets of savvy business advice sprinkled all over the book that one can learn from. For example, Joy Mangano owner of Ingenious Designs, Inc. and the inventor of Miracle Mop says “If you are going to run a corporation and achieve growth and long-term stability, you must have the skills not only in your area of expertise, but strong leadership and people skills as well.” Through these incredible stories one not only learns valuable lessons of running an entrepreneurial venture but also the personal difficulties that one has to surmount to achieve success. A truly inspiring book that will make you want to reach for the stars.
