Christine Comaford-Lynch, now a successful millionaire and serial entrepreneur, writes a hard hitting story of her own "school of hard knocks" career. Armed only with guts and determination rather than an MBA, Christine persuaded Microsoft to hire her, thus launching her technology career. The author takes a no nonsense approach; she doesn't mince words and sometimes comes across as one "tough broad" as she tells her rags to riches story. Every chapter is full of stories and examples, many of which I could relate to as a woman who has faced many barriers in a man's business world. The book is well written and an easy read. Readers will appreciate the many useful tactics for success but the challenge will be whether or not they have the guts to implement them.
