Andrea is Australian. She has lived in Jakarta, Indonesia and now lives in Mexico City, Mexico. Andrea is a co-founder of ExpatWomen.com.I confess that I have a passion for success-stories. I love reading them, hearing them and/or watching them on screen. I want to know how each woman got their ideas, started their business, struggled, juggled their kids and home responsibilities (if applicable), then thrived and became their very own success story.
Sue Stockdale, the author of Secrets of Successful Women Entrepreneurs, admits to sharing this same passion – which, lucky for us, led to this very open, honest and inspirational collection of ten real-life success stories of women in the UK who are now considered some of the country’s top female entrepreneurs.
The list below gives you a sneak peak at who’s in the book and their business area:
Linda Bennett

Josephine Carpenter
Juice
Julie Meyer
Venture Capital
Michelle Mone
Bras
Dr Marilyn Orcharton
Health Plans
Geetie Singh
Gastropubs
Dr Glenda Stone
Gender Capital
Penny Streeter

Helen Swaby

Sue Stockdale (who herself is a successful business woman, motivational speaker and remembered as being the first British woman to walk to the Magnetic North Pole), also devotes a section of the book to her Seven Steps to Success. These practical steps help the reader to focus on taking action in their own lives.
In conclusion, if you’re also a sponge for success stories, or if you are just looking for ‘a great read’, then Sue Stockdale’s book is probably just the book for you.
