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.

Download or read book Playing With The Big Boys written by Laura A. Van Vleet and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2002-10-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to crack the seemingly closed brotherhood of poker. Men do it. Boys do it. Even brothers and cousins and fathers do it. But for many women, it remains a mystery, a closed brotherhood of codes. Much has been written about poker, but this is the first book that focuses on the needs of women. This is a book for women, by women, who want to claim their seat at the poker table — and win! The information in Playing with the Big Boys comes in an easy-to-follow, lively, and practical presentation. Everything from the origins and basics of the game, to the variations, to strategies, and to the ways women can participate in tournaments is included. Readers will be led through the chapters by “Laura,” our card-shark heroine: How did Laura get started? How did she become her local winner? What advice can she give to other women for their home games or for possible casino ventures? And how can women contend with husbands, boyfriends, Big Boys — and take their money? Beyond the fundamentals of 5- and 7-card stud, blackjack, draw games, and Texas hold ’em, the authors investigate the unusual variants such as Chicago, Indian Poker, baseball, lowball, hi-lo, and Anaconda. Betting receives equal treatment, and Laura gets to the heart of “when to hold them, and when to fold them.” Bluffing gets its own separate treatment, as does the problem of how to manage a losing streak — or a winning streak. And all told from a woman to other women.
