a business of one's own

As Marsha Firestone, current President of The Women Presidents' Organization writes in her Foreword: "Women in the past century have made magnificent strides...[t]he women in this book are magnificent...because of who they have become. These powerful stories...encourage each of us to seek our own new sense of self..."I wholeheartedly agree. Each woman's story will resonate with any Reader's own struggles -- starting from childhood, learning how to be an adult, a wife, a mother, a business woman & then, inevitably, the descent into the pit & the crawling back out. In sharing their stories they offer their greatest lessons on how to survive & thrive in the business world.Highly recommended by RebeccasReads.

Be encouraged to set high goals

This book really paints a picture of what it takes to own a business as a woman. It is encouraging to see that the struggles that these women went through were all worth it in the end. It has given me courage to never give up in busines and to set my goals high, despite the obstacles.

We make our own luck!

This book underscored my belief that we make our on luck! I love the story about the owner of Rosies Bakery in Boston...how she worked through the night and went to bed with flour in her hair because she was too tired to even take a shower...now she owns a chain of bakeries! And the "Queen of Barbeque" who got tired of being passed over for promotions in her male dominated industry...she just quit and started her own business. I feel like these women are my sisters, and I'm proud of them!

Dreams to Realities

As a woman, I find it so important to hear of the success and hardships of other women. When you see what others have done, it makes you want to go out there and do it even better. this book does just that. It motivates you to move your dreams from whims to realities through reading the stories on these nine women business owners.

management perspectives of these women different from men

NINE LIVES brings the stories of these women to life in a way that I can indentify with personally. Within NINE LIVES, I also noticed new perspectives on management than I've come across in books about male entrepreneurs. Specifically, the "Twenty Foot Rule" employed by Van Eure, owner of the world-famous Angus Barn restaurant. And the way that Rebecca Boegnik, the first woman ever to take a company public on NASDAQ, walks and talks the "value" of an employee.
