Welcome!
Many of the 70 stories in The Entrepreneur Story are from entrepreneurs like you– women-owned business, moms with kids at home, or who started their business when their children were young.
You’ll be able to read their stories and learn from what worked (or what didn’t!).
Feel free to network with any of the entrepreneurs whose businesses or stories resonate with you– there’s a contact directory included in the resource guide at the back of the book.

About The Entrepreneur Story
In February 2007, we began The Entrepreneur Story project, as the 2nd “Hundred Dollar Business” experiment.
The intention was that we would spend 30 days and no more than $100 to create an e-book collection of 100 entrepreneurs’ stories from each of the 50 states in the U.S. and the 7 continents.
