Author quotes
Unfortunately, for those that like to follow well-defined steps, there’s no right way of starting a business.
There are lots of business books written by women who have had some challenges in life but fast-tracked themselves to success. I am not that author and this is not that book. Instead, this book is built from the rubble of failures.
You do not have to want to be the CEO of a huge corporation to benefit from this book. Every woman who gets to fulfill her dreams enriches humanity.
About the author
Ameé is an entrepreneur and businesswoman with over 18 years at the helm of many organizations - from small home-based businesses to multi-million dollar companies. In her professional career, she has worked in a variety of seemingly unrelated fields from construction to manufacturing to weddings to healthcare, gaining incredible experience and earning real successes. But it's not her achievements that make her a valued and knowledgeable teacher. It's her failures. After one such personal failing, she took time to solve the mystery of being cursed with great ideas but unable to realize their full potential. And during a two year period, she discovered she was the architect behind her self-sabotage. And that is also the moment she knew what her true purpose is in life. Today, through her work in the fields of psychology and self-improvement, she brings a thought-provoking harmony of practical strategies with the underlying drives that affect women and their business success. Her second book, The Fearless Woman's Guide to Starting a Business: What Every Woman Needs to Know to be a Courageous, Authentic, and Unstoppable Entrepreneur, is her firm step forward towards helping other women learn how to unlock their real, life-changing potential.
Why LoA loves it…
If you are starting out on your entrepreneurial journey and want a good does of inspiration, can-do spirit, and absolute ‘tell it like it is’ frankness, then this is a great read. Ameé shares her very personal insights and experiences in building businesses without a parachute, flying solo on the entrepreneurial journey, and surviving to tell the tale. We all know that entrepreneurship can be hard, and we all start out on our journeys full of hope and aspirations, often without a manual to follow. Ameé’s new book is like having that experienced, fellow woman entrepreneur friend along to guide us. This is an honest, refreshing book that tells it like it is in the world of entrepreneurship for women, a great read for those just starting out on their own journeys. — Melanie Hawken, founder & ceo, Lionesses of Africa
