If you're looking for inspiration on how to make your entrepreneurial dreams come true, buy this book. (And PLEASE don't judge this book by its really stupid, dated, and sexist cover.)

Scrappy Startups is an elegant, step-by-step approach to really making it happen for yourself, using the fascinating examples of women putting together businesses we would all be proud to own.

The author is a coach who has put in the last 15 years into studying exactly how you take an idea and make it profitable. This is the book that will inspire you and equip you with what you need to get started.

I don't think she'd mind if you used an old grocery bag and turned it into a book cover like you did in high school

A truly inspiring, user-friendly guide to achieving that dream for your own business. The enthusiastic, easy to read rhythm of Ms. Keveles' writing kept me engaged and eager to learn more. Her well-designed steps to success are simple to understand and easy to follow, as documented by the amazing stories of ordinary women seeing a need and creating a successful business to meet that need. I urge anyone who is harboring an entrepreneurial concept or has even a vague idea ruminating, don't hesitate a moment longer. Read this book NOW and begin your adventure!

The deep and insightful stories showcased are reflective of the writer's intuitive skill as an interviewer and a Master coach. Melanie's natural empathy, extensive training and years of experience are evident in the breadth of the stories and in the subtle and provactive questions posed to the reader throught the book. What a gift to have all this expertise at one's fingertips!

Each of the Startup accounts elicited within me such a fire of enthusiasm that I frequently needed to deter briefly from reading in order to visit the entrepreneurs websites to see what they had created! I challenge you to read one of their stories from beginning to end without doing the same!
