Entrepreneurship can be scary. Nothing is set in stone and you either make it or you don''t. There''s no guarantee.

Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that approximately 20% of new businesses fail during the first two years of being open, 45% during the first five years, and 65% during the first 10 years. Only 25% of new businesses make it to 15 years or more.

With those odds, why do people even start a business? The odds are stacked against you right from the beginning.

In this book you will meet men and women who have been on the journey called "Entrepreneurship." They have gone through ups and downs, twists and turns, backs and forths, and have survived to tell the story. Some have experienced tragedies during the trek, but they made a commitment to keep going.

This is a must-read for anyone who has a dream, but is afraid to take that step into entrepreneurship. Join us as we share our individual stories of bravery with you and encourage you to keep moving forward!

As an entrepreneur, you oftentimes feel alone because there are a lot of people who "don''t get you," but you have this desire and passion to help make this planet a better place, so you keep pushing forward in hopes of making it all work out.

If you''ve ever felt invisible, you have a story to tell.

This book highlights stories of women who have felt invisible at some point and are coming out now to share how they went from invisible to INVINCIBLE.

Not all of the stories are about domestic violence, but it is rampant throughout the world and we want to put a spotlight on some of the staggering statistics relating to domestic violence. Here''s one thing to consider, not all domestic violence is against women. Men are abused in their relationships, too.

Even though all the stories in this compilation are written by women, this book isn''t about bashing men. It''s about empowering oneself to come out of the darkness and into the light.

These numbers are shocking and unsatisfactory.

As a group, the INVINCIBLE women have selected Dress for Success as our charity partner. Rest assured knowing that 100% of the net proceeds from the sales of this book are being donated to Dress for Success where their mission is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire, and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.

As you read these stories, put yourself in their place and imagine what it must have been like to experience what they experienced. They have overcome their feeling of invisibility and are now empowered to live the rest of their life as the INVINCIBLE women they were meant to be.

This book was truly a calling from God. Dara was working with Lynda Sunshine on another book when the idea for this book came to her. She pitched the idea, and She Is an Overcomer was born.

Every person has their own unique life experiences as well as their own struggles and triumphs. The 31 women in this book prove that. They share their stories in their own words and from a place of vulnerability. These are the real stories of real women who have lived through challenges that many people may or may not have faced at some point in their lives. For some of these women, writing was a form of therapy, while, for others, it was difficult as it caused them to relive traumatic experiences.

When we brought together this amazing group of women, we wanted to be sure that we did not limit the types of stories that were being told. There could be a woman out there thinking that she is alone and that no one could understand how she felt. She could feel like there is no hope for her. These women are here to tell you that there is hope.

TRIGGER WARNING

Triggers are anything that might cause a person to recall a traumatic experience they''ve had. For example, graphic images of violence might be a trigger for some people, but not others. Less obvious things, including songs, odors, or even colors, can also be triggers, depending on someone''s experiences. Some of the stories in this book might cause you to remember a traumatic experience or event from your past and may lead to heightened emotions. This can be called a "trigger." If this happens to you, there is help out there and you can find it if you need it. The women in this book are simply telling their stories after much healing has taken place in their own lives.
