Members Reviews:
Very inspiring!
I truly enjoyed this book. I have alot of favorite lines including Nell's advice on the discipline, commitment and focus women biz owners need. I also appreciate her advice to get a lot of people to help you make it happen. Create a whirl of activity. This is where community building comes in. All too often we try to do it all ourselves. We have to hire interns, volunteers, independent contractors, and paid employees. I've been reluctant to do this because of the headaches and so have many small biz owners. I counsel small businesses at the Ga Tech Procurement Assistance Center (PTAC) for government contracting; and I am active in a number of women biz groups. All too often business owners express frustration when they are not given a contract. Often the desire to compete has is lacking. There is also a trend for women to seek to be rescued or saved. Nell Merlino advocates that women biz owners save themselves.

Inspiring Lessons for Women Entrepreneurs
I thoroughly enjoyed this book - it was inspiring from beginning to end. I've heard Nell speak several times and was privileged to participate in the Denver Make Mine a Million $ Business event. Her book gave much more detail about her accomplishments including inspirations and motivations that drove her to deliver on her ideas. I love her big visions and her ability to turn them into reality. The book was full of useful information that was delivered in an entertaining style.
Easy to read with practical advice
I received this book after hearing Nell speak at an event. It's an easy read. I finished it on the airplane home, though I didn't do any of the practical exercises she recommends right away. I plan to do that over time, as I think it makes the book even more useful and readers may be surprised with the outcome. It's full of advice that can be used in nearly every situation. Imagination and techniques to conjure up new ideas are encouraged. I would recommend this to anyone looking to make real change in their life. She's a down to earth woman who has achieved great things. I believe after reading this that I can too.
Refreshing & Reinvigorating....a gentle kick in the behind for those of on our way
Nell Merlino's voice comes through loud and clear in her latest book, "Stepping out of Line - Lessons from Women Who Want it Their Way".
An easy read I read this on the flight from LA to Hawaii a few weeks ago. I loved the juicy nuggets she serves up. Here are a few:
1. Exercise the favor muscle.
2. Changing systems is easier than you think.
3. Imagine our future.
4. The ripple effect.
5. Daily choices make the difference.
6. The overall message...what are you waiting for? or better, what am I waiting for? Permission? From who?
This timely message resonated with me. Nell shares that statistically 50% of the women business owners earn less than $50k annually.
