If You Don’t Have Big Breasts, Put Ribbons on Your Pigtails (Abridged): And Other Lessons I Learned fro My Mom Audiobook

" Charming book by a very successful woman in business. Her mother had 12 children and had to streamline things to keep up with it all. Barbara learned so much from her mom. "

" I loved this book. My seven year old daughter had me read it to her. She loved the advice and stories. I still laugh to myself when I walk by painted rocks anywhere. "

" An excellent depiction of how simple life lessons from a dedicated mother can be translated into success in business. Great read for someone who is managing a sales team - ideas to motivate and inspire your staff! "

" Very funny and loaded with practical advice "

" This is an interesting book. It is kind-of a business/motivational type, but I found that there were a lot of things that could be applied to any situation. It is entertaining and Barbara Corcoran has an interesting story. "

" Interesting, quick read. An amazing middle class to riches story, and the fact that she brought so many others to prosperity while working for her is inspiring. Only in America. "

" Best business book I have read. Every gal starting a business or career should read this. "

" Great business book especially for anyone in Real Estate! Funny too! "

" Gave me the courage to gather my balls and do something with them...V "

" Great insight as to how there are different ways to approach every situation. "

" Read entire book this afternoon. Entertaining and fascinating about her success in real estate. Meshing the advice her mother gave and showing the correlation with events in her business experience is a stroke of genius. "

" I listened to this book because I ran out of the other books and hadn't gone to the library yet, but it was good, entertaining and a fun read. Crazy a kid from a poor poor family can turn into a very rich multi millionaire. "

" Cute stories about how her mother's techniques used to smoothly run her family, work in making decisions in the workplace. Not terribly deep, but interesting enough. "

" I actually read this in college. (Ha -- I remember reading this while on the stationary bike at Gold's Gym in Auburn.) Anyway, I thought it was good. Cleverly written with good, practical advice. "

" Didn't finish it. I liked the stories of her youth but didn't like the self help stuff. I don't think they should have been combined. I may go back later and read some more of the parts about her childhood if I get desperate for something to read. "

" I was referred this book by a friend at work and it is very easy reading and very common sense information presented in plain English - life isn't rocket science - I know that I'll be recommending this one "

" shows you how to think outside of the box "

" Amazing and true to life. Many lessons from this book for business life and personal life. "

" Inspiring Short Stories... She is a Luxury Realtor and so much more. Barbara has tons of wisdom to share... "

" Use what you have at hand to make the best of the situation "

" Oversimplified but cute and worth a listen on audiobook during a long drive. "

" Barb always had her mother's support; parental encouragement goes a long way "

" Confession - I didn't fully realize who Barbara Corcoran was until partway through the book. I'm a big fan of strengths - helping people discover and use them. Obviously, that's what her mother did. "

" Fun, quick read if you are looking for some motivation, professional or otherwise.. "

" Great book about the little things and how they apply to business sense. "

" Didn't finish it. I liked the stories of her youth but didn't like the self help stuff. I don't think they should have been combined. I may go back later and read some more of the parts about her childhood if I get desperate for something to read. "

" I love reading about powerful, smart women! Quick and inspirational read! "
