business management

Women are launching businesses at twice the rate of men. In fact, women-owned firms claim the fastest growing segment of the U.S. economy. What’s more, according to the Center of Women’s Business Ownership, nine out of 10 women business owners want to expand their business and four in 10 want their business to become as large as possible. Most astounding, however, is the fact that fewer than 3 percent of the country’s women-owned businesses gross a million dollars or more in revenue.

As a small-business journalist and successful business owner, and co-founder, CEO, and Chairman of SBTV.com, Susan Wilson Solovic was driven to do something to increase that disturbingly low number. So, she set out to uncover the strategic secrets and distinctive qualities of women entrepreneurs who had achieved the exceptional. She shares their proven tactics and inspiring triumphs, along with their frank advice and hard-won lessons, in The Girls’ Guide to Building a Million-Dollar Business.

The Girls’ Guide to Building a Million-Dollar Business shows every woman how to gain the confidence and knowledge she needs to enjoy the financial security and success she deserves (AMACOM; $21.95 Hardcover). HBM
