If you assumed that petite LuAn Mitchell-Halter is a beauty queen, you'd be right. She's also been a meat packer, Canada's #1 Female Entrepreneur, flat broke, a multi-millionaire, and survived the loss of her husband-all before turning forty. Image isn't everything. LuAn Mitchell-Halter has been fortunate to be able to cut through the public's image of her as a "paper doll"-someone who is only defined by the clothes she wears-and release the core of her being. She has now chosen who she is and what she decides to wear on life's journey based on her experience, instinct, and wisdom. In Paper Doll, for the first time, Canada's leading businesswoman andphilanthropist shares her story. LuAn tells what happened behind the scenes of her public life and offers sage advice to readers about breaking the barriers that others can build around you. LuAn's simple principles will teach you how to look for the answers within yourself to achieve personal success, regardless if others think you are sure to fail. She has learned that it's usually the fear of losing it all-money, pride, and stature-that can stop us from believing in ourselves, but the only genuine loss is when we fail to be authentic to our true selves.

A Roller Coaster Ride through Success and Failure.,

This review is from: Paper Doll: Lessons Learned from a Life Lived in the Headlines (Hardcover)
As an Author, Coach, and Motivational Speaker I read alot of books about people, their motivations, and their relationships. LuAn Mitchell-Halter and Paper Doll get an A+ for the amazing story (if it were fiction people would never accept it), an A+ for the lessons learned, a B for the writing, and an A for the discussion points at the end of the book.An unwed mother at 16, and you're barely a third of the way through the book. I do love a lot of the lessons learned: - make a plan, follow your gut, find the good Finally, LuAn encourages readers to use the book for reading groups and provides a list of discussion questions. I recommend you get a copy of Paper Doll. I'm planning to get my mastermind team to do a group study of this inspiring story.

This review is from: Paper Doll: Lessons Learned from a Life Lived in the Headlines (Hardcover)
Although PAPER DOLL is a memoir, it is also a teaching book. Divided into 11 chapters with titles such as: Listen to Your Instincts; Surround Yourself with People Who Inspire You; Define Your Dream; No Dream is Achieved Alone; Protect Your Power, etc., LuAn Mitchell-Halter quotes the newspaper headlines that tell her story, & spices the text with sidebars & planning agendas.Certainly LuAn Mitchell-Halter has made a name for herself, from the one the girls at her school gave her, to her salad days as a beauty queen who spoke about women using their minds, to her days as a journalist & TV talk show host, & then to marrying one of the wealthiest, most eligible Canadian bachelors. After ten exciting & loving years, Fred suddenly dies during a routine medical checkup, & LuAn is left holding the ropes to a declining business & a hostile takeover bid...& turns that into a multi-million dollar partnership! PAPER DOLL tells of not only how LuAn Mitchell-Halter survived the "slings & arrows" cast her way, it lets us into the secrets of her success. Rebeccasreads highly recommends PAPER DOLL for the vitality & inspiration in LuAn Mitchell-Halter's rise from poverty to corporate executive, philanthropist & three-time Leading Woman Entrepreneur of the World.
