Synopsis "All That I Am: Now That I Know: 17 Life Lessons for Women Entrepreneurs on Dreaming Big, Failing Big, and dusting yourself off to DO"
★★★★★ "A woman's journey as an entrepreneur not to be missed!" - J. Larsson______________This is not only a book about my successes and failures, but a book to provide you with powerful strategies and exercises that will guide you through your personal journey on the road to achieving big dreams! I'm what you would call a 'challenge junkie'. Others have challenged me all my life. "Ain't no woman made it yet in this business and you won't either!" they said to me. I took that challenge and beat out 240 men to become the #1 saleswoman in that company. In the early '90s, Venture Capitalists simply did not fund women in technology. I accepted that challenge and went on to fund a startup that grew from $23 million in revenue to $400 million in less than five years. Now I am a member of the Forbes Technology Council.I am the mastermind behind the GameDay Decisions Analytics Platform(TM), an integrated artificial intelligence and machine-learning platform as a service to "Simplify the Art and Science of Decision Making." Before the #Metoo movement began, I was overcoming groping company founders and went on to co-developed one of the first Linux Software driven web serving appliances. I've held executive positions at Red Hat Software and was responsible for leading revenue growth pre and post IPO. In addition, I have founded and led a number of entrepreneurial organizations through growth milestones including venture capital funding, IPOs, innovation consultancy, and technical services company. I grew from rags to riches, making millions and then watched it all disappear.Then I re-invented myself and made my lifelong dream happen, founding a philanthropic performing arts organization, which created showcase opportunities for more than 200+ original artists and musicians over 7 years that captured the attention of New York dance communities and globally known musicians. I have pulled from my successes and failures to provide powerful strategies and exercises that will guide you through your personal journey on the road to achieving big dreams, whether that be in love, life, in the business world, creating wealth, or merely gaining that inner peace we are all searching for.
