Representing a wide range of business fields, with enterprises ranging in age from newly begun to a couple of decades old, these women explain their thinking, their alliances, and the singular creative impulses that led to a viable and meaningful commercial endeavor. As presented here, each woman represents a part of the "Dream, Courage, Action" model that Melanie Keveles developed to demonstrate the process of bringing an idea to fruition.
