By 1995, over half of the new business owners in America will be women - and their emerging voices are starting to challenge notions about what business is and how it should be run. Herself the founder of a company, the author of this book talks about the special qualities which women often bring to a business - qualities rarely recognized or appreciated. These include head, heart and hands policy, an appreciation of process and complexity and an integrated vision of business and ethics. These qualities are features of the businesswomen interviewed in this book. Joline Godfrey was the voted Entrepreneur of the Year by McGraw Hill in 1987.

Our Wildest Dreams has the "new" right stuff
I connected with the words of Joline Godfrey. Her evaluation on what women are doing in business, helps all of us see the opportunities to do things differently. The first chapter where she talks about the right stuff struck home - women needing connection with others, seeing people as whole individuals, wanting balance in life, seeing business as a creative outlet, are all principles she dives into - they make sense for those seeking to more than financial goals. There are many bottom lines in life - the women business owners the book reviews get it and are designing business with a bigger picture in mind. Thank you Joline for shifting my thinking - I was already headed in that direction - your book help me get there a little faster.
Inspirational
This book was a life changer for me. My entire paradygm shifted about my own potential to be an entrepreneur after reading this book. It was instrumental in my decision to leave my public school teaching position and start my own business. I found the specific stories of women's successes and struggles encouraging. I had often given up on ideas once problems started to arise, but after reading this book, I adopted the mantra "Every problem has a solution." It has helped me through many a seemingly crisis situation. I have reread it several times. The most valuable piece for me was the perspective that we women can do something that we love, have fun AND make a living. My husband also enjoyed this book, so it's not just for women.
