  • Summary: Fun Business Read!
  • Comment: Have you ever dreamed of owning your own business and being your own boss? Well here's the book to get you started, Elizabeth Gordon's, The Chic Entrepreneur; a step-by-step manual written for women for want to develop a prosperous and thriving business.

    Elizabeth's business strategy book offers a dose of sophistication and style, while teaching women these nine fundamental entrepreneurial lessons:

    * What's Your Value?
    * Pick Your Niche
    * What Do Customers Really Want?
    * Attracting and Retaining the Best Employees
    * Do You Know Your Cash Flow?
    * Sales and Marketing Go Hand in Hand
    * The Importance of Systematic Processes
    * Strategically Aligning Yourself
    * Have a Plan and Measure Your Results

    The Chic Entrepreneur isn't your typical dry and technical business guide; it offers itself to a user friendly arrangement that uses modern companies, like Nordstrom's, Google and Whole Foods to execute its main points. The key lessons are thoroughly explained and then followed up with relevant case studies using two types of people; those who practice sound and researched business methods, and those who venture out into the business world without any previous knowledge or examination.

    Every chapter is filled with "Chic Tips" and every chapter ends with a "How Chic are You?" section which summaries some of the key lessons taught.

    I highly recommend "The Chic Entrepreneur" to all small business owners, freelancers and anyone that is thinking about starting a new business. This book provides invaluable strategies, tips and advice all while being thoroughly entertaining!

  • Summary: Have to read it!
  • Comment: I bought the book after hearing Elizabeth speak at a Ladies Who Launch event. I chatted with her afterwards and found her to be approachable and very common sense oriented. Her book did not disappoint--it surpassed by expectations. Easy to read; great "Chic Tips" and great examples. I found myself taking notes as I read it as a reminder to either "do something" or research something else. It made my entrepreneural wheels spin in delight! I am hoping there will be another book in Elizabeth's future.

  • Summary: Relevant, "How To" Content for Entrepreneurs
  • Comment: It is rare that I am able to continuously read a book without feeling the need to put it down and come back to it. Elizabeth wrote the book in a way that not only captivated my interest, but more importantly provided concrete and useful "how to" information. She did an excellent job of linking business definition and clarity to a company's ability to scale and operate more efficiently. The content is meaningful and relevant - key elements that are largely missing from so many business books. I think the book is amazing and I look forward to giving it as a gift to my clients and colleagues!

  • Summary: Chic With Substance
  • Comment: Most of the time the word "Chic" refers to the appearance of a person or thing. I have always thought of Chic as something superficial. Well "Chic Entrepreneur" goes against the norm. This book provides information on more than the appearance of a business and the advice in it is not superficial, but very substantial.

    As a consultant to and trainer of woman owned businesses I often see women think small, underestimate the effort it takes to run a business and fail to identify their true customers/clients. If they read "Chic Entrepreneur" and keep it on their desk they will avoid making these mistakes. One of the biggest mistakes I see women business owners make is that they do not collaborate; they miss a lot of opportunities because they do not attempt, or often even consider, partnering, teaming, and subcontracting. I applaud the authors for realistically addressing some of this in Chapter 8 "Arm's Length or In Bed Together: Strategically Aligning Yourself".

    Any entrepreneur can benefit from this book. It's a book that you will want to keep around so you can re-read Chapters as they apply to your phase or situation. I know I will be suggesting it as a companion book to the purchasers of my book "Capitalizing On Being Woman Owned".

    This book is great in a general way for all entrepreneurs. Hopefully it will provide the information and stimulus that will cause existing and would-be entrepreneurs to do the in depth research specific to their business that will help them be successful in a Super Chic way.
