Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Maddox, a corporate star of the 1980s who shattered the glass ceiling at such firms as Arthur Andersen, Revlon and Capital Holding, in recent years identified an undeveloped market and developed a new business to serve it: a financing, consulting and services organization specifically for women interested in having businesses of their own. Here, in a generous conversation, she explains and codifies the philosophy and specifics of her enterprise: the importance of entrepreneurial character and ability as opposed to any particular business ideas; the often determining influence of personal relationships; and physical condition as a key element. In addition to giving a sobering discourse on money as a harsh reality, Maddox emphasizes "innerpreneuring," a combination of self-analysis and positive thinking that she says is a necessary prelude to any successful venture.

From Library Journal
Not exclusively for women, the process delineated in this book is for anyone in business or thinking of starting a business; the goal is to jump-start the reader into creating the business and the life she/he wants. Maddox, the founder of a company dedicated to helping female entrepreneurs, uses what she calls "innerpreneuring," focusing on oneself and creating a business from the inside out. Maddox tells readers to build their businesses and/or careers around personal values and to formulate personal definitions of success. A series of exercises and activities lead to concrete, action-oriented answers. Exploring life experiences, relationships, dreams, feelings, and self-image, readers arrive at their ultimate goal of success and a life/work balance. Because this process has a widespread appeal, all libraries should consider.

The book had a dramatic and long term impact on my life.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Inc. Your Dreams: For Any Woman Who Is Thinking About Her Own Business (Paperback)
I am writing to tell you how much I enjoyed reading Inc Your Dreams. Prehaps "enjoyed" doesn't fully capture my opinion of the message ; I think what you have to say is tremendously important, and you say it very well. I especially like the attitude you don't convey-you guide and inspire without preaching, without rules, and allow for the differences in experience, perspective and priorities. I have already recommended your book to others. Thank you writing the book and sharing yourself with all of us.

Great Launching Pad for Success!,

This review is from: Inc. Your Dreams: For Any Woman Who Is Thinking About Her Own Business (Hardcover)
I received the audiotapes of this book as a gift from a friend in 1995. I listened to the tapes once, then went through them again and did the exercises. Not only did they help me figure out if I was a good candidate to run my own business, but the exercises helped me to see my strengths and skills in a whole new way! I bought the book, and have gone through it and the audiotapes several times since then, at key points in my life. Rebecca's audiotapes and book have helped me to clarify what I want to do with my life and and what I want to release from my life. I've bought several copies of the books for friends who were getting ready to take the leap into new careers, and every one of them has benefitted from Rebecca's wisdom and exercises! Rebecca's success - and her straightforward way of sharing it - has truly bred success in my life and the life of my friends!
