What do I love about: Succeeding in spite of everything?
Before this book, if you ask we what I want from life or my definition of success, I would usually respond with “To be Happy” But lately I find that I sound cliché . I keep asking myself what does that even mean, yet I find no answers. By the time I was done reading all the stories I was able to articulate what I what from life in simple terms that resonate with my values.
This book share stories of 36 inspiring women/entrepreneur who in spite of life debacles have succeeded in their space.
