What if success means getting paid for doing what you like, being able to work in a t-shirt and jeans, getting the spring bulbs planted in time, and enjoying all seven days of the week? In Success Redefined, Lori Giovannoni says when you redefine success on your own terms, you expand your choices in life.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Giovannoni's ideas are topical, creative and emphasize the essential difference between making a living and creating one. I don't know of a working woman out there who isn't seeking more of a balance between her career and her personal life, or any working person in general, who couldn't glean something useful from reading this book. -- Independent Publisher January/February 1997
Success Redefined: Notes to a Working Woman is a thoughtfully composed and challenging set of 60 new success principles geared at getting working women to re-evaluate how they define success, both in work and life. What is the measure of success? asks Giovannoni, a management trainer and seminar leader who has advised over 120,000 working women, from managers of Fortune 500 companies to owners of small businesses, over the past 10 years. What if success means being paid for doing what you like or going to work in comfortable clothes, perhaps even being able to have time to garden, transport children or enjoy every day of the week? Giovannoni's basic premise is that working women themselves limit the notion of success. When it can be redefined on personal, individual terms, choices are expanded in life, she argues, which means one can have a conscious career and a conscious lifestyle. The book features a "success principle" featured in a brief meditation, with a thought for contemplation on each facing page. Self-care, beauty, energy, attitude, creativity, competition, empowerment, opportunity and change are but a few of the topics tackled in practical, concise language with suggestions for how to implement them in order to see results. Giovannoni's ideas are topical, creative and emphasize the essential difference between making a living and creating one. I don't know of a working woman out there who isn't seeking more of a balance between her career and her personal life, or any working person in general, who couldn't glean something useful from reading this book. -- From Independent Publisher

Book sheds spiritual light on the topic of work,
By A Customer
This review is from: Success Redefined: Notes to a Working Woman (Paperback)
For the reader struggling to find a meaningful relationship to his or her work, this book is a helpful resource. It sort of reminds me of a scene in "Dead Poets Society" where Robin Williams' character encourages his students to stand up on a desk to get a different perspective. That's what this book does -- lifts you up out of the stress and distraction and futility to give you another view of how things are, or could be. My thanks to the author.

Success Redefined is a succinct, capsulation about our changing perspectives of work and success. Ms. Giovannoni has tremendous insight about our changing world and how success can be viewed. Lori has a unique and totally captivating approach to communicating provocative ideas. This book not only provides content, it is a delight to read in quick, bite-size concepts. A wonderful gift for yourself and someone you love.Lynda F. Jeppesen(keyes@sisna.com)

Success redefined reframes thinking patterns,
By A Customer
This review is from: Success Redefined: Notes to a Working Woman (Paperback)
I found this book to be a wonderful resource for balancing my thinking and encouraging me to honor my path. The author has a unique style anyone can relate to. I was so impressed with the information I have already bought the book as a gift for several of my friends and members of my family. I would recommend this book for anyone who is struggling with all the "rules" of success. A great gift idea. Kathleen Gag
