Rating: Summary: A little too obvious Review: After reading this book, I thought I would feel more prepared to go out into the world and make something of myself. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. Although I believe that Marion Luna Brem had several good points to make, I think that most of her "helpful hints" are things that most people already know about themselves. I wouldn't consider this book to be useless, just a little long and drawn out. She sets up the same situation over and over again, using different women who triumph in different situations. I appreciate her drawing attention to some of the attributes of women which most of us do not take advantage of, and those which we need to channel. I am definitely impressed with how hard she worked to get to where she is and I recognize she had a lot of courage. If I had been turned down as many times as she was, I'm sure I would've quit before finding an open door. Her story definitely lives up to the message she conveys, and it is good to know that she has written a book based on her own experiences and knowledge based on actual facts.
Rating: Summary: Brem review Review: I thought the book was meant for women who do not know their identity. I felt that the majority of the book dealt with things women should obviously know. I understand Brem's purpose and why one must understand their strengths to succeed in a business world. It is a great book, however, the book was not for me.
Rating: Summary: Great book to read for yourself and your daughter Review: I thought this book was going to be a list of things that you should be doing differently and I was pleasantly surprised.It is a very easy read, I read it in the course of a little over a hour, and found great ideas that I want to start implementing right away. I also found ideas that pertained to my teenage daughter which I bookmarked and read them to her. I think this is an excellent book to read to get further development of yourself. I would highly recommend adding it to your bookshelf.
Rating: Summary: The 7 Greatest Truths About Successful Women Review: In a "man's world" women must step up and work hard in order to thrive. Women must use their innate strengths to guide them and should never yield into their weaknesses. The number of women in the business world has greatly increased in the last twenty years and women will continue to be successful if they are resilient, are passionate, nurturing, can use their creativity and intuition, but most of all they must value themselves first. This is a typical "rags-to-riches" story, about a woman who had no job, and was on the verge of completely giving up, when a moment of awakening pushed her forward towards success. Marion Luna Brem provides guidelines almost, for women to follow in order to succeed and be the best in the business world. Brem, a cancer survivor, inserts snippets of her incredible story of how she made it to the top, to show that ANYONE can achieve "financial independence, professional freedom, and personal joy." The Seven Greatest Truths about Successful Women details "truths" that are bluntly obvious, however, stating the obvious often clarifies and reinforces certain things that we already may or may not know and understand.

Through the use of personal experience and anecdote of herself and other women, Brem is able to apply the gifts given to women to the real world.

The fact that Brem relies on her personal experience is also very touching. Overall, the book was a good read and gave good advice.
