ESSENTIAL READ: Women Rocking Business - The Ultimate Step-by-Step Guidebook to Create a Thriving Life Doing Work You Love by Sage Lavine

September 24, 2017 Melanie Hawken
Sage Lavine

Sage Lavine

Author Sage Lavine asks: “Can a woman like me, with just the spark of an idea, actually start a business and make money? Can I have a meaningful career that fits into my life, instead of fitting my life into the cracks of my work schedule?” If you're asking these types of questions, then her new book Women Rocking Business will give you the help and advice you need.

 

Sage Lavine is the CEO of Women Rocking Business, a consulting and coaching organization that has helped nearly 100,000 aspiring women entrepreneurs around the globe to build businesses that change the world. Her revolutionary approach is based on honoring innate feminine values: we become thriving entrepreneurs by empowering others rather than having power over them, working in a spirit of collaboration rather than competition, and prioritizing contribution rather than gain. In this book, Sage gives you the road map that has guided thousands of her clients-professional women in fields from health care to manufacturing to consulting, from therapists and artists to yoga teachers and real estate agents-to build their own successful and sustainable businesses on their own terms. You'll learn how to:

  • Identify your gift to the world
  • Heal your relationship with money
  • Build a support network of entrepreneurial sisters
  • Plan winning strategies for marketing, sales, and service
  • Achieve success by working just 12 days a month (yes, it's true!)
  • And much more

Filled with real-life case studies, integration exercises, and practical advice on every aspect of entrepreneurship, Women Rocking Business is an answered prayer for any woman who wants to get a business off the ground or take it to the next level. If you're ready to make the difference you were born to make, Sage is ready to show you the way. You've got this!

Author quotes

You don’t need to have reached some distant peak of intellectual nirvana or spiritual enlightenment to build a successful business and make a massive contribution on the planet.

What you’re about to experience through reading this book is a road map that has helped thousands of my clients build successful and sustainable businesses.

This book isn’t about teaching you how to be successful at business according to men’s rules. Nope! It’s about teaching you to be successful at business as a woman—as your true self—and helping you become an influencer yourself, changing the way business today is actually done.

About the Author

Sage Lavine is the CEO of WOMEN ROCKING BUSINESS, reaching nearly 100,000 conscious women entrepreneurs around the globe. Sage teaches women entrepreneurs to fill their practice and create sustainable wealth through creating a business they love. She has shared the stage with Neale Donald Walsch, Jack Canfield, Janet Attwood, Marcia Wieder, and many more. Sage believes in purposeful entrepreneurship as a way to create world change:

Women Rocking Business has raised over half a million dollars for women around the globe, women in the rain forest and in Indonesia, supporting them to build businesses that serve their communities and protect our ecosystems. Sage inspires her students to love themselves and each other so much that we can't help but all succeed . . . together.

Why LoA loves it….

In her new book, Women Rocking Business, author Sage Levine shows aspirant women entrepreneurs who have the germ of an idea how to take it to the next level and make it a reality. She provides lots of practical information and advice, not to mention real life case studies of women who have turned their passions into profit, and ultimately a roadmap for action. This is an easy to read, highly accessible book with lots of great take-aways for anyone looking to kickstart their entrepreneurial journeys. --- Melanie Hawken, founder and editor-in-chief of Lionesses of Africa
