Quick-fix-solutions to entrepreneurship sold by motivational gurus line their pockets at your expense. Today’s spike in self-help get-rich-quick seminars should remind you of another multi-billion dollar fad: the diet industry. Both generate a lot of money. Both leave a residual trail of books and products (like powdered concoctions, CDs, DVDs, and money jars). Both burden you with ever-growing credit-card bills. (Yes Virginia, compounding is indeed powerful.) Yet, the skinny stays airbrushed on the cover, and you’re still stuck at the starting gates of entrepreneurship.
Have you heard about the slow movement? Here, a book is not a calling card to that “free” seminar which in turn leads to a $10,000+ credit card bill. Here, “just add water” produces, um, a glass of water. Genuine book learning can make a gradual and sustained difference in your life. Slow and steady. Take the time to build a strong, solid foundation, and then you too can have long lasting results.
It’s slow, and it’s scary. Nothing can take the edge off that. Sure, you can walk across some fire pit, step into an arrow pointed at your throat, or sit through some hokey sweat lodge. Go ahead, savour the adrenaline rush of Large Group Awareness Training (yes, there is a term for these traps). But know that these can’t prepare you for the repetitive roadblocks and obstacles you will face on a daily basis enroute to your unique and personal version of successful entrepreneurship.
The Three Strategies of the Unstoppable Woman gives you (you guessed it) three solid strategies that will let you build your own foundation. Slow and steady, maybe sometimes shaken but always strong. No upsell. Just solid forward-growing information that helps you become the best woman entrepreneur that you can be.
