Why LoA loves it….

So much of the success of any business starts with the passion of the founder, and yet the challenge is always how to fully harness that passion and turn it into a viable business. In this fabulous new book by Juanita Jones, she demonstrates that it is possible to have multiple creative ideas in the business building space, but she provides a practical framework for action in terms of pulling all those ideas together in one easy to follow roadmap. If you are currently getting bogged down in your own business, with too many ideas floating around with nowhere to go, this could be a great read to help you through the confusion and get some clarity on the way forward.  --- Melanie Hawken, founder and editor-in-chief of Lionesses of Africa
