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.

Fantastic! This book is a well written,easy read. It is a wonderfully motivating book. I read it cover to cover in 1 day. It inspires any woman to feel they can do anything even start their own businesses. It gives an honest accounting of 12 women from all walks of life, who have started companies on purpose or accidently, with or without money. They have weathered many obstacles along the way to building huge organizations and muti-million dollar businesses. As a small business owner, I admire their courage and it has given me the push to set much, much higher goals for myself and my company. The lessons and advice in this book are invaluable and extremely insightful. Lesson learned: Dream Big! Go for it! Never Quit!
