Publisher's summary

The essential guide for female entrepreneurs who want to go big, which shows you how to turn that creative idea into a million-dollar-plus business.

American women are starting businesses at nearly twice the rate that men are, but only 3 percent of female business owners have revenues of over $1 million. Most women entrepreneurs are stuck at the mom-and-pop level, just getting by or, in many cases, running out of cash.

Julia Pimsleur shares her inspiring story of building her own company and raising millions in capital in a guide for women like her who have great ideas and need to find the resources to take them into the big leagues. In Million Dollar Women, Pimsleur introduces you to seven women who, instead of leaning in, simply left corporate America and marched into the world of entrepreneurship. They have raised capital, developed powerful networks, and generated multimillion-dollar companies from scratch. When Pimsleur herself started Little Pim, a company that produces a program for young children to learn foreign languages, she wanted to create an exceptional experience. But soon she realized that she had to think and behave differently to become the head of a multimillion-dollar company. Eventually she transformed from a creative person with a business idea into a CEO running a business with a creative idea at its center.

Million Dollar Women will teach you the concepts, the lexicon, and the steps for taking a business big. It shows you how to network, when to delegate, and when to get extra coaching. Above all it provides help for overcoming the kind of emotional hurdles you have to jump to join the million-dollar-plus business owners - and cheers you on in overcoming every obstacle. With her friendly, pragmatic advice, her humor, and an appendix of exercises to take your ideas from theory to practice, Julia Pimsleur's audiobook is an invaluable reference.

brag book

I Title this " brag book" but in a good way...I think we should all toot own horns however the title of the book being an essential guide is very deceiving when the majority of the book talks about her, her accomplishments and her life and not so much tips tools and real 'how to'

From a budding entrepreneur

I loved this book specifically because it demystified angel funding and how to ask for it.

Not a how-to book

I think I was expecting something more along the lines of "Secrets of Six Figure Women". This is basically her story of starting a business and how she raised the capital to launch it. If you don't people who can give you $20k to fund your start up, this book isn't going to be very helpful for you.

Informative book for would be entrepreneurs

I enjoyed listening to the audiobook. It was informative, I learned some new ideas on entrepreneurial-ship, the importance of networking and using your leverage...

Pros: The author has enthusiasm and is clearly passionate about everything in her life which can be felt by the readers/ listeners alike. Many of the contents of this book were introduced in a matter of fact manner w/o the sugar coating which is realistic. This book can inspire more girls and women to pursue being business owners, working moms, super resilient and flexible stay at home moms— should they choose to do so.

Con: It was light on statistics as it pertains to women in the work field and in some other areas.

Lots of little nuggets

I loved this because because she gave lots of practical tips and nuggets to go to the next level. She spent quite a bit of time discussing fundraising. Before I finished this book it gave me the drive and energy to renew my love for my business and see a way out from feeling so overwhelmed with everything. Highly recommend for any female entrepreneur
