Sexy Boss: How Female Entrepreneurs are Beating the BIG Boys; While Changing the Rule Book for Money, Success and Even Sex


Book Description

My name is Heather Havenwood and I am a Sexy Boss. I wasn’t always a Sexy Boss, however... After being spit out by the corporate world and growing tired of sales jobs that paid well but left me empty, I launched my own real estate business at the tender age of 25. I was kicking butt and taking names. It quickly became a 7-figure company that I operated out of my home with two other partners, whom I trusted completely to manage the money and financial side of the business. Things were going great -- amazing actually -- until one day I was hit with the biggest shock of my life. I had been away at a weekend seminar, and arrived back at my home, only to see that one of my partners and all his stuff was suddenly gone. Worse yet, ALL of my bank accounts were emptied...I was literally wiped out. So I set out to share my stories, my experiences and yes, even my set backs to show women entrepreneurs how they too can be a powerful force in the world. If you are a woman in business or if you want to start a business, you must read this book. First, it’s unlike any other business book. Why? Because it gives you all the tools you’ll need as a woman to succeed and prosper in what was previously only a man’s world. My mission is to champion women everywhere to awaken the Sexy Boss within and realize their greatness. And do it with attitude.
