Customer Reviews

Needed book to add to your library!

This book is great! It covered evrything in detail from A-Z. I have been dying for a down to earth book from someone I can relate to, a black woman. She shares tips, advice, personal stories etc. Even after 13 years since this book was published it is still relevant, helpful, and inspiring.

Excellent for the Sisterpreneur

I love this book. It spoke to me as if I were talking to my sister. I first checked this book out of the library, but after reading it, I know it is the first book I want in my home entrepreneur library.

good guide for the shy at heart

The book is written in a very nurturing style, has exercise pages for self reflection and motivates you to keep going despite obstacles. Small enough to be read during break or while waiting for an appoinment.It has a bio of women from the past who over came odds and succeeded. A must have for your libary.

A True Roadmap to Success!

Fran Harris has done an excellent job of isolating the essential requirements of starting a business. From how to develop a business plan to how to conduct yourself professionally in various social settings, she puts it all out there. I have met Fran and she is a truly dynamic young woman. She is confident, intelligent and knowledgable and it shows in this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about starting a 'successful' business. Fran believes and lives what she writes and there is nothing like first hand experience.

My Mentor on the Pages

This book was absolutely the best. I have read several books on starting your business and/or consulting and never has one inspired me to the next level. This book spoke to the soul of the African-American women in me who has grown weary of Corporate America. Before I read this book I only wished that someone of Fran Harris's abiltiy could mentor me one on one. Little did I know this book could do just that. As I read I felt as if Fran was right in front of me guiding my way!! GOOD JOB FRAN!!!! The book was trully and will always serve as my inspiration and reminder that it can be done!
