Women entrepreneurs are often portrayed as aggressive, high-heeled alphas, out to disrupt the status quo or dominate the board room. Some are. Many are not. This is a book for the latter. With a background in education and creative writing, Cassandra D'Alessio never intended to be a business owner. But after feeling unfulfilled in her career, she started and grew a successful marketing business without any real guidebook or role model. In , she now shares the lessons from her first year as an entrepreneur, including real-world tactics for businesswomen of all industries, backgrounds and personality types. In , you'll learn: From side-hustling accountants to app-designing engineers, female entrepreneurship is for all. Part memoir, part business strategy, is a real look at the chaos, humor and sometimes difficult lessons of your first year in business and how that first year can alter your life forever - in the best way possible.
