Yes, you can do this!: how women start up, scale up, and build the life they want - claudia reuter

How women can lean in to entrepreneurship to create the life they want Claudia Reuter left a promising corporate career to raise her two young children but realized, when re-entering the workforce, that the gap in her resume looked like a gap in ambition--not a purposeful plan.

Instead of leaning into a corporate career and fighting the structures and systems designed by and for men decades ago, or leaning out and giving up income, Claudia took a different path.

That decision ultimately led to success in the corporate world and at home.

In Yes, You Can Do This , Claudia shares her own reasons for starting a business and makes a call to action for women to consider entrepreneurship so that they can create businesses with the rules they want and change the playing field for others, making a significant impact in the world.

More than a how-to book on building a business, Yes, You Can Do This provides clear examples and practical resources to help others create the life they want through entrepreneurship.

In Yes, You Can Do This , youll learn: How to develop and share your vision How to deal with stereotypes and unconscious bias How to leverage perceived weaknesses and turn them into strengths How to balance life at high speeds and avoid burnout How to cultivate the confidence to move from idea to creating a company with the culture and rules you want Claudia provides women with an electrifying third career option: its not just lean in or lean out, but startup and change the playing field for others in the process.

Praise for Yes, You Can Do This Its rare to find a book on entrepreneurship that fuels your heart with inspiration and encouragement and your mind with practical, tangible things you can put into action immediately -- but this is one of them.

As a woman who has started three companies and been a senior team member of five startups, this is the guide I wish Id read when I was starting out.
