As a young, eager, goal-oriented, aspiring businesswoman myself, a book like Playing For Keeps: How A 21st Century Businesswoman Beat The Boys by author Therese Allison could not have been a more perfect read for me. In this telling and intimate biography which doubles as a lesson in success with tips galore, we get to learn of the rich and incredible family history of this author. Meanwhile, we also hear of the many business adventures and successful tips that got this writer to where she is in life and in business. The insightful nature of this novel can and will help any aspiring young businesswoman, like you, or even me.
In this book, we learn of the highs and lows of Therese Allison’s career as well as the intriguing nature of her family heritage as she celebrates it in this dedication of sorts to those who came before her. There are many insights into her past, as well as her present, that show she did what it took to get where she’s at in life and thus, wrote this book to help those of us who will come after her. I know for myself, it was wonderful to hear things from her perspective and write down her well-thought-out lessons and tips on success.
This book details the life of a woman who has incredibly business savvy, is wildly funny, and has always been unafraid to let her competitive nature and drive lead her so she can get what she wants out of her career. There are women who are not taught that these traits will get them far and that they do not need to suppress them out of fear of what others will think, of being judged. It doesn’t always have to that the “boys club” wins out every time and therefore, the woman who is more qualified for the job has to sit on the back burner, eagerly awaiting her turn in the spotlight. No, we as women can take a stand for ourselves and get our dream job by learning from author Therese Allison’s own experiences and take note of her insightful knowledge on the subject.
This trail-blazing and inspiring businesswoman will give you the tools you need to become a great success in your own career, as she did herself when she achieved self-made, financial independence at the age of 38. You’ll laugh, cry, and most importantly, gain valuable knowledge from someone who has been there, achieved that, and now, wants to help you do the same.
