5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal Insights and Valuable advice from the Best, November 30, 2001

By

Words cannot describe the power you will feel after reading this book!!!! You simply will not be able to read it without gleaning a a new idea, thought process, or business system from its pages.
This collection of essays will enable the growing and seasoned professional woman to aspire to greater heights in her chosen field. Basically it is likened to having the "master mind group" of mentors that Napoleon Hill refers to in his book, "Think and Grow Rich."
I am a REALTOR by profession, and have found direct applications, as well as ideas which were easily convertable to the development of my business here in Michigan. From each and every one of the contributors, I have been able to learn from the diversity of their experience, challenges, and their sucsess in their current business career.
If you are in doubt about whether or not you should start a new business, continue the one you've been involved with for some time, or if you need some ideas to refresh your spirit and launch a new phase in your career as I did, PLEASE take the time to discover this wonderful book. It will change the way you approach your work, and intensify how you view yourself--- as a POWERFUL BUISNESS WOMAN!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Got Me Off the Dime!, May 2, 2001

By 

Karen Winston (Del Mar, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Woman's Way to Incredible Success in Business (Paperback)

You know how it is when you know what you don't know, and you know what you have to do to get where you want to go, but for some reason you don't "just do it"? A Woman's Way to Incredible Success in Business fired me up to take more control over my communication skills; to challenge myself with new technology; to focus more on finding my prospect's hot button, and to physically calendar the personal time I always seem to put off until "tomorrow." Just the action steps alone at the end of each chapter is enough to point me in the right direction! Finally, a book that is comprehensive in all business subjects and with enough inspiration to get me off the dime!
