Do you want to have it all? Both business and personal success are not impossible to achieve.
"Confessions of a Resilient Entrepreneur: Persevering to Success" demonstrates the balancing act that women - and men - have to perform in order to integrate a business life with a family life. "Confessions" speaks to the starry-eyed young entrepreneur who has big business ideas but no sense of what it takes to have it all, as well as the well-established business leader who has achieved success and now wants to fit a life into those accomplishments. It describes and encourages the attitudes and belief systems that "grow" an entrepreneur - and illustrates what happens when those attitudes and belief systems come up against hard reality.
Written in easy, conversational prose, "Confessions of a Resilient Entrepreneur" relays the experiences of executive coach Frumi Rachel Barr, PhD, as she discovers the hidden lessons of entrepreneurship and applies them in the face of some of life's harshest realities: rape, cancer, gender discrimination, multiple divorces, and national scandal. It reveals how the systems and strategies that serve her so well in business also help her achieve and enjoy some of life's greatest pleasures: four wonderful children, a succession of beautiful homes in two countries, and the opportunity for unrestricted growth.
Savvy About Executive Editor Francine Gordon says, "Frumi's life story is funny, sad, inspiring, and very, very human. After showing how she's managed to thrive in the face of adversity, she provides the reader with practical techniques and processes that can be used to coach oneself to create a more successful and fulfilled life. It's a great read and a great guide to self-development."
