25 Life Lessons for Women Entrepreneurs
A book for women entrepreneurs on dreaming big, failing big, and dusting yourself off to do it all over again!
Ended
This heartfelt book opens with Teresa hiking the El Camino de Santiago in Spain. For her, the hike is metaphorical for her journey in life. As her toenails turn black and blue and her feet ache in pain from the miles she has walked, she thinks about the ups and downs of her entrepreneurial pilgrimage. While her current destination is clear and the path already laid out for her, she knows all too well that is not the case with most entrepreneurs.
In "Now That I Know", the author shares 8 new lessons to the 17 in the first volume. These lessons learned are from the many unexpected turns of the author’s own entrepreneurial journey. Each existing and the 8 new chapters of the book features personal and entertaining stories, observations and lessons such as “Hike till your mind goes empty” or “I did not dream big enough”- stories allowing reflection time and mental breaks from day to day life, stories on how people hold themselves back, the difference between men and women in leadership and entrepreneurship.
Teresa gained from those experiences and exercises to help readers prepare for the next step on their own journey.
“I hope that by sharing my experiences, mistakes, successes and failures, that I can help make the journey for other entrepreneurs, especially women entrepreneurs, a little easier,” shares Teresa.
Women entrepreneurs that want to start businesses or are working on their 1st, 2nd, 3rd... startup.
“There are many books out there that may appear similar to this one, but the others end up trying to sell you a belief, a program or a subscription that requires your credit card. Not Ms Spangler. She simply shares her vast experience so that others can learn from her successes and mistakes. It's not often we women climbing the workplace behind her can have access to such wisdom. That's wisdom we can learn from and apply to our situation. The icing on the cake is that she does it with a serious dose of humor and teaches us how to laugh, even when it hurts. For this, I am grateful.”
- Mary Sandell, Media Specialist, Former Bloomberg and Master Storyteller.
“Women—and men—can learn so much from Teresa Spangler. Over the last two years, I’ve worked with Teresa on technology initiatives and I find her approach refreshing: Teresa is cutting edge without cutting people down. She pushes our teams and yet isn’t seen as pushy. All That I Am Now That I Know is a quick and easy read that enables all of us to get inside Teresa’s mind to see how (and why) she works the way she does.”
- Kris Downing Vice President, Commercialization and Innovation, Center for Creative Leadership.
"I enjoyed reading this book! It is chock full of good business and life lessons."
- Joe Colopy, Founder Oracle+Bronto, CEO Colopy Ventures.
“Your book is amazing! I’m bringing it to Boston on my trip this weekend!”
- Erin F.
“I gave my son’s girlfriend your book. We are both enjoying reading.”
- Liz P., Town Counsel Woman.
Teresa has been driving force behind innovation and growth.
Today, she wears multiple hats as a social entrepreneur, innovation expert, growth strategist, author and speaker (not to mention mother, wife, band-leader and so much more). She is especially passionate about helping CEOs understand and value the role human capital plays in innovation, and the impact that innovation has on humanity; in our ever-increasing artificial/cyber world.
Teresa shares her insights on these very topics (and more) as a member of the Forbes Technology Council. Throughout her career, she has worked for global brands like Tom Peters Company and Red Hat Software where she held senior executive positions and was responsible for leading revenue growth pre and post IPO. In addition, she has founded and led a number of entrepreneurial organizations through growth milestones including venture capital funding, IPOs, innovation consultancy, and technical services company.
Teresa has held many advisory board roles for startups and organizations such as Business Innovation and Growth Council, The Council for Entrepreneurial Development and The NC World Trade Association. As well, her passion for the arts and music can be witnessed first-hand when she performs as a singer/songwriter and guitarist as the lead singer of The Headless Chickens.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of revenue from book sales is deposited directly to your bank account, never to ours first.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org.
