Success to die for

Women are finally taking a seat at the proverbial table as startup founders, company presidents, C-suite executives, and the multiple role-playing small business owner – but at what cost? This truth-revealing and daring book reveals the hidden struggles involved with the pursuit of success among the chaos of workplace cultures fueled with blame, shame, microaggressions, and fear-based competitiveness. The text also shares how women leaders find ways to cope and thrive despite their mental illness. Mental health peer advocate and writer Lynette Davis explores and exposes the personal narratives of female business owners. These women are revealed as pioneers who, despite mental health disorders, are in the trenches of this chaos – plowing ahead in order to create opportunities for themselves, their families, and younger generations of girls who have yet to enter the workforce. Success To Die For offers itself up as a caveat not only to change the game by adequately addressing the links between mental illness and entrepreneurship, but also to be an idea catalyst for suicide prevention through innovation in company ethics, policies, and procedures.
