Female Entrepreneurs’ Stories to Inspire and Motivate by Griselda Togobo — Lionesses of Africa

Book Review

In her book, Unstoppable Women, Griselda Togobo has set out to inspire and motivate female entrepreneurs of the future by sharing the stories of the many successful female businesswomen of today to show how you, too, can gain the strength, wisdom, determination and resilience you need to succeed in what is still largely a man’s world.

In Unstoppable Women by Griselda Togobo, each of the women profiled openly and candidly shares their journeys. From having the initial concept for their business to the early stages of developing, growing and seeing their profits escalate, to the further stages of scaling-up and even exiting their businesses, with some ultimately moving on to ‘give back’ by becoming angel investors and mentors to others. Their stories provide invaluable ‘golden nuggets’ and advice to other women to help them with each phase of starting out, developing and moving on after realizing their entrepreneurial dreams.

Along with the inspiring stories of these successful entrepreneurs, there are overview sections that effectively distill the learnings from each phase, and a workbook section for you to use to record and plan your own journey so that you, too, will become unstoppable. The book is an excellent tool to enable women from all walks of life fulfill their dreams and manage their journey to success.

The women we find most inspiring are inspirational not only because of their achievements and the heights they have reached in business, but also because of their humanity.

The most inspiring women are those we can relate to, those who we feel are just like us.

The women who have found the courage, strength, resilience to keep moving forward despite the challenges they face on this humbling journey we call life. They are the unstoppable ones.
