This review is from: Sister Ceo: The Black Woman's Guide to Starting Your Own Business (Mass Market Paperback)

I purchased and read this book three years ago when I was a college student. I read it and honesty have to say didn't put much thought into the valuable information and advice until I entered the "Real World" aka life after college. Since working in Corporate America for the last 2 1/2 years I realize I will never be paid my worth unless I go into business for myself.
This book will lay the foundation for women that are serious about taking control of their financial destiny and life. This is a must read for women serious about success.

This review is from: Sister Ceo: The Black Woman's Guide to Starting Your Own Business (Mass Market Paperback)

I truly recommend this book for anyone interested in starting or growing a business. The book contains the nuts and bolts of what it takes to survive in the business world. I really appreciated the chapters on marketing and public relations. Other authors could really learn from this author on how to write to a business audience.

There is no doubt in my mind that this book is a must read for all entrepreneurs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Believe and Succeed, April 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Sister Ceo: The Black Woman's Guide to Starting Your Own Business (Mass Market Paperback)

At last a book to inspire and encourage black women to attain greatness. Both my self esteem and belief in my own abilities grew and grew as I read this book. It not only provides a guide to starting your own business, it also makes you believ you can succeed just like our mother and grandmothers, only we didn't see their efforts as entrepreneurial. I appreciate the history of the women of my family more and inspired by the book are working at becoming a part of that history by establishing my own business. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
