The Girl's Guide to Starting Your Own Business: Candid Advice, Frank Talk, and True Stories for the Successful Entrepreneur
Caitlin Friedman, Kimberly Yorio
Rating: 5.0/5 Stars
Rank: 173
From Booklist The authors, founders of a public relations and marketing firm, claim that
when they formed their company they were unable to find an encouraging
guidebook for women entrepreneurs.
Having written their own, they offer
women help both in determining the ideal business for their talents and in
taking steps to develop it. They recommend becoming a "mensch," taking the
high road in business dealings even if doing so costs a few extra dollars.
Quizzes, checklists, and tips cover the challenges of being the boss,
preparing a business plan, dealing with legal issues, recognizing the
importance of marketing, and balancing family and work. Friedman and Yorio
term their style "breezy in tone yet substantial in content"; it's not
clear if this lighthearted approach to such a serious topic will appeal to
women, but the content is thought provoking and important. Mary
