This book is titled Whale Hunting Women: How Women Do Big Deals.

Whale Hunting Women by Dr Barbara Weaver Smith



We get used to long books that go on and on about a topic - but Whale Hunting Women gets right to the point. I couldn't find any "fluff" in this book, but there is a lot of great content to help you. These are some of the chapters in this book - • How Women Hunt Whales.

• Only a Minnow (In a Sea of Whales).

• Small Company Looking Big.

• Small Fish Hunting Whales.

• Radical Culture: Take a Rival to Lunch.

• Radical Culture: Money is Cheap.

• Radical Culture: Kill Some Commandments.

• Who Do You Trust?

• Whale Hunting Resolutions.

Women are uniquely qualified to "hunt whales" because they listen, align and empathize. Men can learn these qualities too - but women are usually raised to have these traits. That gives them a boost in the "whale hunting" concept.

For people who aren't familiar with whale hunting - the entire village was involved in preparing for the hunt and the right combination of skilled people were necessary for the hunt. Imagine having several people in a small boat and having to hunt and kill a whale - then you have to row the boat to get the whale home. They had no "modern conveniences" like radar, radios, motors and other things to help them bring home the whale to help the people in their village. Today we have many tools to make a whale hunt easier, but we still need a skilled team filled with members who all contribute to the hunt.

Dr Barbara Weaver Smith helps the reader understand that small businesses can look bigger and they can compete with big companies to get the big clients. This is where the team you assemble will make the difference and give you an edge. In the current economic climate, using the tips in Whale Hunting Women allows us to compete with the "big boys" by building our team in creative and productive ways to attract the big clients without piling on additional financial obligations of hiring more staff members.

These ideas are just the beginning of the information that is included in this information packed book. As you read through this book we recommend that you take the time to work through the journal pages. I always like it when the author creates review exercises or journal pages that prompts the reader to dig deeper to learn more and to start applying what they are learning.

If you are a business woman or business owner who would like the tools to take the business to the next level - I highly recommend this book. If you have a woman in your life that is in business and she wants to set herself apart from the crowd - you need to buy this book for her. It is available on TheWhaleHunters website along with much more information about Dr Barbara Weaver Smith and Whale Hunting Women.
