Our work careers are finite. Most of us will work for 35 to 40 years. Then we live off social security and what we have saved and invested. If you earn just $10,000 per year more, over an average working career, you will have an additional $2 million when you retire (assuming you save and invest that money). That will make a huge difference in your lifestyle

Some may wonder why a guy is writing a book about women entrepreneurs. What you may not know is that this guy coached girls and women basketball players. For 12 of the 14 years of my coaching career, I coached High School Girls’ Basketball or Women’s College Basketball by choice. My WHY was simple! Over the years, I have found that girls/women are more coachable. For the other two years of my coaching career, I coached Boys Varsity Basketball and made a mistake doing so. I found boys were not as coachable.
We found during our research that access to capital is perhaps the number one gender difference. Therefore, we devote Chapter One to Access-to-Capital.
We hope this book empowers women and girls from Generation Z to Baby Boomers to find their financial freedom while doing good. So, ladies, forget your fears, take a risk, and dare to DREAM BIG!
With all our research for this book, our overarching goal is to write an empowering book. So, women entrepreneurs will start their journey, never quit, and find their peace as they find financial freedom
