Penguin Books (MZ) Ltd, 1990
At the time this book was written, more women were entering the world of business than ever before. In fact the majority of new business owners were women. By this time Jenny Phillips had been in business herself for nine years. This book was written for women just getting started.
‘When Woman Mean Business is both a resource book and an inspiration. Author Jenny Phillips is an award-winning businesswoman… She believes that going into business for oneself is one of the most challenging tasks a woman can face. In this book she covers the detail of setting up a business, as well as broader questions such as clarifying your goals, surviving the ups and downs, and problem solving.
When Women Mean Business shows how it is done. It is essential reading for every woman setting up her own business – or dreaming about it.’
‘Written in such a way that jargon does not get in the way of understanding.’
‘Highly recommended, this book will surely help women who want not only to survive but also to thrive in business. ‘ Accountants Journal 1990.
‘Practical experience, enthusiasm and clarity of expression makes ‘When Women Mean Business’ enjoyable. (The author’s) personality peppers the pages, but not at the expense of the excellent advice she offers to women.’ Nancy King. Southland Times.
‘Highly recommended, this book will surely help women who want not only to survive but also to thrive in business.'
