Change or Die by Alan Deutschman

Someone you admire and why? I most admire three women that have profoundly influenced me, Dorothy Wood, Rowena Fullinwider and Dyanne Walker. These women started their businesses on the Kitchen table with little more that a vision and an "I can do it attitude". These women are professional, successful, and warm hearted. They are always willing to extend a helping hand to anyone in need. They have given countless hours in mentoring women business owners.
