She organizes the material within six Parts:
I. Empowering Marketing Maneuvers
II. Illuminating Publicity Techniques for Femme Fatales and Grande Dames
Note: As I previously suggested, ignore the overheated diction.
III. "Out of the Box" Thinking -- Nontraditional Marketing
IV. Mission Possible -- Unstoppable Direct Marketing
V. Maximize Your Strengths -- More Gutsy Strategies for Wonder Women
NOTE: See previous "Note."
VI. Sources & Resources Packed With More Power Than a Protein Bar
She also includes a "Recommended Reading" section. Because other excellent books have been published since 2000, I presume to suggest several at the conclusion of this review.
Ross obviously favors a tone and diction in her writing which could perhaps (just perhaps) distract some readers from the fundamentally sound material she provides. She may seem playful at time but she is nonetheless quite serious about the importance of combining prudent speed with relentless determination to achieve what Jim Collins calls a BEHAG: a Big Hairy Audacious Goal. Only in recent years have women somehow overcome formidable barriers to achieve success in the business world, most of which were installed and then sustained by men. Today, at least 80% (and probably more) of the growth our nation's GNP has been achieved by companies with 20 or fewer employees and a substantial majority of those companies are owned by women.
This book will be of substantial benefit to those women but also to other women who need both encouragement and guidance, either to join the ranks of company owners or to expedite the progress of their careers within other organizations. I am also convinced that this book will be of substantial benefit to other entrepreneurs, male or female, who also need such encouragement and guidance. I urge those who share my high regard for this book to check out the Customer Reviews of the works identified by Ross in the "Recommended Reading" section.
