Bags to Riches

7 Success Secrets for Women in Business

By: Linda Hollander

Stuck in a dead-end job with mounting debts, Linda Hollander took the biggest risk of her life when she launched a custom packaging business called the Bag Ladies. Working hard and making mistakes along the way, she managed to grow her business into a successful enterprise. Known today as "the Wealthy Bag Lady," Hollander spends her spare time helping other women build self-confidence and achieve financial independence through small-business ownership. In BAGS TO RICHES, Hollander shares her own and other business leaders'¬? advice for getting a small business off the ground, including practical tips for finding a mentor, securing financing, turning contacts into contracts, and providing five-star customer service. More than just your typical "how-to" business book, BAGS TO RICHES explores one of the most difficult aspects of starting your own business-deciding to go for it. Filled with success stories of real-life entrepreneurs, BAGS TO RICHES will inspire women to take that frightening first step to launching a business and realizing a dream. There are currently more than 9.1 million women-owned businesses in America. Women are starting businesses at twice the rate of men. Thanks to Linda Hollander, October has officially been named "Women'¬?s Small Business Month." From the Trade Paperback edition.

By: Linda H. Chen

In the first section of Volume 2, toxicological factors affecting nutritional status are discussed. Medications and alcohol may affect nutritional status. Section 2 provides a discussion of nutrition-related diseases which occur more frequently among the elderly. Cardiovascular diseases including coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease are the leading causes of death in the U.S. The relative importance of cardiovascular diseases, in terms of all deaths for the given age group, rises steadily with age. The death rate from these diseases is 28% for the middle age group (35 to 44) and is 69% for the old age group (age 75 and above. This reflects the continued progression of artherosclerosis with aging. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. The death rate from cancer also rises steadily with age.
