"A powerful guide to turning ambition into action--by focusing not on willpower but on what matters most."--Charles Duhigg, author of Supercommunicators and The Power of Habit Setting goals is easy. Following through on them? A whole lot harder. It turns out, the secret to finishing what you start isn't sheer willpower or the latest productivity hack. It's becoming more intentional.

She's the Boss
In the years after World War II, as women were being pushed from wartime jobs for returning soldiers, government and business leaders--and women themselves--saw small business ownership as a viable economic solution. In just five years, US women owned nearly a million of the nation's businesses. In the decades since, women have moved increasingly into business ownership, often outpacing male start-ups so that today, they own more than fourteen million businesses, 40 percent of all US companies. She's the Boss chronicles the forces that made entrepreneurship attractive to women. In rich detail, Debra Michals shares the stories of the countless women of all races, ethnicities, genders, and abilities who contributed to this important history.
