Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
McMeekin (The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women) challenges women to be confident, think big, and embrace the future. She draws on interviews with successful female entrepreneurs, abundant research, and personal coaching experience with clients to help women get in touch with their inner muses, write business plans that mesh with their passions, and manage stress. While McMeekin's basic business strategies are sound, the book is oriented toward the creative woman starting her own company. Better choices with broader coverage are Mika Brzezinski's Knowing Your Value or Selena Rezvani's The Next Generation of Women Leaders.
