Female Entrepreneurs: The Secrets of Their Success
Autor John Smythe, Ruth Saundersen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 apr 2020
Female Entrepreneurs: The Secrets of Their Success encourages every woman who has dreamt of being an entrepreneur but hasn’t yet taken the leap to take the first steps towards realising her dreams – as well as encouraging every woman who has not yet thought about running her own business to consider it. Additionally, it encourages governments and the corporate world to recognise and embrace the huge value that female entrepreneurs bring to society and the economy.
John Smythe and Ruth Saunders reveal the secrets of the success of fifty-two female entrepreneurs. They outline wisdom and insights to inspire budding entrepreneurs to take the leap and offer practical advice on what to think about when setting your business up for success as well as when considering whether to scale. They also provide top tips on how to play to women’s inherent strengths and avoid the weaknesses women face – as well as how to stay sane and enjoy the journey. This practical, unique guide provides the encouragement, support and motivation any aspiring female entrepreneur could need to make those first steps towards the realisation of their ambitions.
John Smythe and Ruth Saunders are both entrepreneurs themselves and regularly advise start-ups on how to launch and scale up for growth.

Recenzii
"This book is a MUST HAVE for any budding entrepreneurs – male or female.

"There's never been a better time for women to start their own business. Whether you simply want to work for yourself or you're driven to build the next big thing in tech, you'll find inspiration in these stories." – Sarah Turner, Co-founder & CEO, Angel Academe
"Packed with great case studies and examples, this book highlights the key pathways – and obstacles – to success for female entrepreneurs and helps you to navigate them." – Ann Francke, Chief Executive, Chartered Management Institute

Take your input from a wide range of sources – this book is a good place to start with lots of sage advice.

"One of the recurring themes in this book is just how much better women are at communicating with their teams – engaging with them in an authentic and empathetic approach that really can't be faked. Good communication does not guarantee success, but there is not one example here that mimics the command and control ethic of many male entrepreneurs we have too long revered." – Marc Wright, Founder, simplycommunicate

"Yes, she can" – and they are. If only all that entrepreneurial spirit, courage and creativity could find a home in most organisations too."– Richard Goff, Chair, www.peopledirector.org
