Women Entrepreneurs Only: 12 Women Entrepreneurs Tell the Stories of Their Success (Ernst & Young Information Technology Series) Book

"I have looked upon every job as an opportunity. I've always looked upon work as a privilege and that's why I'm still at it.... There is nothing else I want to do," says 88-year-old business maven Ebby Halliday. Women Entrepreneurs Only profiles Halliday and 11 other highly successful entrepreneurs--women who demonstrate how their inspiration and dedication continue to serve them and their businesses. These women, all winners of Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year Award, tell their stories--from inception to investment to market. Along the way, each experienced setbacks, doubts, support, and, ultimately, the belief that she possessed an idea that could positively influence others. Included in this round-up are Doris Christopher of the Pampered Chef; Sheryl Leach, creator of Barney the Dinosaur; and Joy Mangano, inventor of the Miracle Mop. The entrepreneurs discuss their greatest challenges, the lessons they learned along the way, and what they wished they had known earlier, all the while offering advice to fledgling entrepreneurs. It's a powerful combination of real-life inspiration and lessons that could benefit anyone--man or woman--who wants to know success in business. --Kathleen DollRead More

    Praise for Women Entrepreneurs Only "Although everyone defines success differently, the twelve women profiled in this book share the same important qualities—ingenuity, intelligence, and determination. Their stories of how they launched their companies and triumphed as women entrepreneurs are a must-read for anyone looking to join the ranks of successful business owners." —Lillian Vernon, founder and Chief Executive Officer Lillian Vernon Corporation Praise for What's Luck Got to do with it? "This powerful, fascinating book reveals a microcosm of our country—past, present, and future. These remarkable people are truly proactive visionaries who create concepts, not just problem-solve." —Dr. Stephen R. Covey author of the bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People "Any aspiring entrepreneur can learn a lot from the real-life stories of these architects of the business success stories of the '90s as told in What's Luck Got to Do With It? This is not an academic treatise, but war stories from real people who have actually done it—and lived to tell their tales." —Stan Davis coauthor of Blur: The Speed of Change in the Connected Economy In their own words… Sheryl Leach—Barney the Dinosaur™ Jenny Craig—Jenny Craig Personal Weight Management™ Ruth Fertel—Ruth's Chris Steak House Joy Mangano—Miracle Mop Mary Ellen Sheets—Two Men and a Truck Doris Christopher—The Pampered Chef, Ltd.
