Your First Year

Are you a new woman entrepreneur or one who is waiting in the wings…?

• Do you want to do things the “right way?”
• Or worry about making mistakes?

Here’s the truth: there is no one “right way,” and you will make mistakes. That’s part of growing.

The generous and hard-won wisdom shared in this book won’t be a cure-all, but it will reassure you that following your internal GPS is just as (or maybe more) important as getting advice. From legally setting up your business to keeping clean bookkeeping records and effective marketing strategies through thriving through major health and life crises, this book will be your “go-to” guide as you step fully into a CEO role.

The women authors in this book want you to succeed. They’re cheering you on as you make an impact in Your First Year…and beyond!

Deborah Kevin (pronounced "KEY-vin"), MA, as the founder and chief inspiration officer of Highlander Press, loves helping change-makers tap into and share their stories of healing and truth with impactful books, including her book entitled You've Written Your Book. Now What? Debby, a graduate of Stanford University's Novel Writing program, earned a master's degree in publishing from Western Colorado University. She's trekked over 350 miles of the Camino de Santiago, and she lives in Maryland with the love of her life, Rob, her sons, and their puppy Fergus-that is when they're not off discovering the world.

Jill Celeste, MA, loves Loud Women and loud bassets. That's why you will likely find her teaching marketing and mindset to female entrepreneurs at Celestial University; or facilitating sisterhood and connection through her online networking organization, Virtual Networkers; or hanging out with basset hounds as the co-founder of Tampa Bay Basset Hounds. She's the bestselling author of two books (so far): Loud Woman and That First Client. She lives near Tampa, Florida, with her husband, two sons, two cats, and a basset hound named Trixie.
