The whole book comes across as poorly conceived, simply thrown together and all together disjointed. While some of the stories tell a nice tale many of the others full short in delivery. From what I can gather from my 2 friends who have contributed the two main designated authors have simply used this as a vehicle to generate PR for themselves and are buying up copies themselves to try and get this book in the top sellers list (you only need 3000 copies to achieve this anyway!) If you can borrow a copy fine give it a quick read but really don't waste money on it - at the very least as mentioned by Sally G in a previous comment wait for the bargain bin sale.

However the rest is not so good as the previous reviewer mentioned you won't find anything new other than a self pat on the back for a few women who have banded together to throw together a "business" book. Nice try but is it worth the full price? Maybe wait until it hits the bargain rack before spending your cash. Firstly, nice cover.

I found nothing of value and no real examples of knowledge that can't be found from your average "Google" search. Still I'm sure someone has made a few buck from these ladies. Next..!
