Eighty percent of small businesses fail. However, the women featured in this new anthology, "Taking the Leap: from Employee or Executive to Female Founder," have passed this critical milestone, transitioning from such diverse roles as law, event management, the military and even the circus to become founders themselves.

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 17, 2024 High Flight Press is proud to announce the release of its latest multi-author book, "Taking the Leap: From Employee or Executive to Female Founder." This powerful anthology tells the stories of 14 trailblazing women who transitioned from diverse corporate careers—including roles in the circus, law, and the military—to successfully establish their own businesses. Each founder has not only beaten the odds but also thrived, running their businesses for years, a testament to their tenacity, vision, and resilience.
