5.0 out of 5 stars Long Awaited Female Role Models, 2 Nov 2005
The beauty of this book is its simple approach. All interviewees are high acheiving individuals, down-to-earth people who just happen to be women. Reading how they overcame various obstacles and acheived financial success running their own businesses can only be inspiring and encourage any would-be female entrepreneurs!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Access To What They Did To Make It, 22 Jan 2006
By A Customer
It's not often you find a book that covers successful women in business and it's even less often you actually find one that shares the stories "warts and all".

This book delivers on the promise in a punchy, fast and easy to read style that enables you to learn from these role-models' attitudes, successes AND mistakes.

The 7 Steps at the end also really helps you to structure your own actions as a result of the inspiration found in the profiles. So you're not left feeling motivated but with no direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable business reading!, 23 Jul 2006
By Sarah J. Steel (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sue Stockdale's book, 'Secrets of Successful Women Entrepreneurs' is a rare thing; it is an enjoyabe, easy to read, but very informative business book, which once started is hard to put down. The series of interviews with an amazing collection of successful women entrepreneurs are incisive and inspiring and I found myself finishing one and rushing straight on to the next. At the end of the book I found myself wanting to ask more questions of them all - there isn't time in this fascinating snapshot to delve as deep as you would like, once your interest has been awakened. However, I felt inspired and enthused by these individuals and returned to my own business with an extra spring in my step!
