Disappointingly insipid Instead of being inspired by this book, I was distracted by the social-political agenda that weaves throughout it. After a while the text began to sound whinny instead of victorious and celebratory. It comes across as a book proposal with a heavy deadline rather than anything of substance and soul. Skip this one, not worth the time or money.
Misunderstood the title–involved only artistic type entrepreneurs basically in NY or CA Didn’t investigate carefully enough before I bought the book. I thought I might learn of successful women who owned and operated their own businesses in all walks of life from all over the U.S. and other parts of the world. Not so. Artists, authors, a few culinary arts experts, music, fashion–and most are from New York or California. Two or three from Georgia, a couple of other states and maybe a half dozen other countries. Question/answer format was boring. Disappointed. Probably won’t…
Could’ve been great. It’s not. I’m pretty disappointed in this book. Each woman answers the same general questions about being in business. There’s not much at all about how each individual creative found success. It’s so frustrating. I feel like very little effort was put into “writing” this book. It could’ve been great. It’s not.
