About the Author

Michelle Girasole recently sold her partnership in Precision Web Marketing, and is an online marketing services expert. She has helped her clients, which range from female-owned startups to Fortune 500 companies, market their products and services online, using tools such as search engine marketing, permission based email, podcasting, blogging, and website analytics. Michelle regularly teaches workshops and seminars to entrepreneurs, businesspeople, and business school students. She helped launch a peer-to-peer business advisory board program for the Entrepreneurship Forum of New England. She received her master's degree in business administration and marketing degree from the University of Rhode Island. She is the mother of two young children and three old cats, and the wife of one handsome husband.

Wendy Hanson is a business coach and consultant. She co-founded Corley Hanson Associates in 1998, a coaching and leadership organization working with corporations around the country, including Google. Wendy has extensive experience coaching women in business. She owned a retail store, Wendy's Country Things and Herb Garden in Groton, Massachusetts, for three years. In her formal role as a special education administrator, she developed many businesses that provide training opportunities for people with disabilities. One of those businesses, Petalworks, produced potpourri from donated funeral flowers. The potpourri became part of a line of products for a national stationary and gift basket company. In 2004, Wendy was awarded the Women in Business Champion of the Year Award from the Small Business Administration in Rhode Island. Wendy has a master's degree in organization and management from Antioch New England and is a certified professional co-active coach from the Coaches Training Institute.

Miriam Perry develops effective business and marketing communications for companies in the corporate and non-profit sectors. Whether developing and implementing a full-scale strategic communication plan for a new employee program, evaluating materials to ensure they meet their objective, or writing a case study, Miriam provides solutions that ensure the right message is not only produces, but received by its intended audience. Her clients and employers have included Bryant University, Blue Cross Blue Shield Rhode Island, FM Global, Fidelity Investments, and Mayo Clinic. Miriam gets a kick out of the fact that she can make a good living doing what she loves the most: writing. Before her lifelong dream of being a published and paid writer came true, she was a member of the United States Air Force. That s where she learned to Aim High! and fold her t-shirts into perfect, six-inch squares; the former has been very useful in making her dreams come true, the latter not so much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational!, May 13, 2009
This review is from: The Sassy Ladies' Toolkit for Start-Up Businesses (Paperback)
This book is a perfect fit for women inspired to start their own business and maintain work life balance. The chapters are easy to follow and packed full of information and tools to use to get you up and going and have fun while you are doing it.

As a successful entrepreneur for over 15 years, I too enjoyed the book. It both confirmed what I had done to build my business as well as gave me new ideas and insights for doing some things differently going forward.

I wish this had been around when I started...it is truly inspirational!

5.0 out of 5 stars The First Book to Read If Starting a New Business, March 17, 2010
This review is from: The Sassy Ladies' Toolkit for Start-Up Businesses (Paperback)
My husband and I are starting a new business. We have looked at all of the books out there for new entrepreneurs and NOTHING was as easy to read and easy to use. This truly is a "tool kit" and will help men and women! These women didn't write a book about how "they" started a business; they actually help YOU start YOUR business!! It is a MUST have if you're starting or have just started your own business. And these wonderful women are willing to help you via emails and their blog! The day I found your web site and ordered this book was one of my luckiest days!! Thanks ladies!!
