Carrie Green

She Means Business by Carrie Green is an inspiring and energetic guide for women who want to turn their ideas into real, tangible businesses. Green’s enthusiasm is contagious, and her step-by-step advice feels practical without being overwhelming. What I loved most is how she balances mindset strategies with actionable business tips, helping readers not just dream big, but also take concrete steps toward achieving those dreams.

The book is full of real-life stories from female show more entrepreneurs, which makes it relatable and motivating. Green emphasizes resilience, consistency, and self-belief, all while keeping the tone friendly and approachable. It’s the kind of book you can read in chunks or dip into for motivation when you need a boost.

That said, some sections lean heavily on mindset and inspiration, with less focus on detailed business mechanics like marketing strategies or financial planning. If you’re looking for a highly technical business guide, this might feel a little light. However, for those needing guidance, motivation, and encouragement to take the leap, it’s a fantastic resource.

Overall, She Means Business is empowering, actionable, and full of positive energy. I would definitely recommend it to women who are ready to start or grow their own business and need both inspiration and practical advice. show less

Call me strange but I've always found cornfields to be scary, maybe due to the movie Children of the Corn and enhanced by a recent episode of Criminal Minds, so when Ms. Green started her book in just this setting I knew I was in for a good read. Without giving the story away, the antagonistic relationship between Sarah and her mother-in-law steadily escalates until the climax which has a scary yet satisying end.
I loved this story, very easy to read and kept me entertained the whole time. show more Excellent! show less

Monster-in-law Martha knows the best way to make your violets grow big and strong is to do lots of judicious pruning so when her son brings home a new wife, Martha knows exactly what must be done. This is a short story, full of memorable characters and a great twist at the end. Nicely done!

A disturbing novella with a female heroine and a female villain. Sarah from a broken home in Chicago has met Todd ,who was brought up in a midwest isolated farm, at college ,married him and gone to live with his widowed mother. In Martha ,the mother we meet a character straight out of a De Maurier novel ,who can do no wrong in her son's eyes but who is not too happy with a new daughter-in law appearing at the farm. Thus begins the menace and horror that the author intertwines in her plot show more development. A very enjoyable read which I had to finish at one sitting. The tension leading up to the end of the novella enshrines a wonderful twist and I will be very careful with gardening equipment in future. show less
