Marin Women at Work
"The girlfriends approach to building businesses".
Our vision at Marin Women at Work
is to bring women in business
together to encourage and support one another;
a group where our personal journey's are shared as well as our business goals and successes. And now more than ever we need to show our collective support. Strength in numbers.
"The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work."

Books to purchase
These are either books I have read or have been recommended to me by a MWAW member. I am always looking for a self help or business focused book and these deliver. In addition we have a fictional book "the Distant Dead" from this week's podcast presenter.
