Digital Goddess (The Unfiltered Lessons of a Female Entrepreneur)

Being a female entrepreneur just may be the toughest job in the world. In Woman on Top, Victoria Montgomery-Brown—the founder of Big Think, the world's largest archive of lessons from the world's greatest thinkers and doers—shares her firsthand, in-the-trenches experiences to inspire women to take the leap into entrepreneurship.

Told from the unique, female entrepreneurial perspective and serving as a roadmap for any woman who's ever thought about taking the leap into entrepreneurship, Woman on Top honestly lays bare all the hurdles other female founders may face in their own journey to the top. 

This book is about dealing with the way things are, even when you don’t like it, and being yourself, even when it seems like a drawback. It’s about sucking it up, making the hard choices, and dealing with the consequences. It’s about being honest no matter what is going down. 

Ultimately, Woman on Top is a story for entrepreneurial women at any stage of life who want to know what it actually takes to build a business in a world that’s not always fair, predictable, or politically correct.  

Montgomery-Brown—founder of Big Think, a fast-growing content marketing startup—shares her story in an entertaining and educational light, unpacking the real-world lessons she’s learned along the way, including: 

• Never lie to your investors, even when you just got arrested.   
• Raising money is a poker game—learn how to play.   
• The power and money still lie with men. Pretending it’s not that way, or being angry about it, won’t lead to success.  
• Your relationship with your co-founder is like a second marriage, so forget about keeping the personal out of the workplace.  
• The more authentic you are, and the more fun you have, the better your experience will be.
