We’re proud to announce that Australian Businesswomen’s Network Member Johanna Baker-Dowdell has published her first book, “Business & Baby on Board”. Despite having more than eighteen years of experience in the media industry, Johanna explains:
“Nothing has taught me the value of building a community more than publishing Business & Baby on Board has.”
Business & Baby on Board provides insights on raising a child while trying to start a business. The book is filled with inspiring stories, heartbreaking stories, and lots in between, based on interviews with twenty women. Johanna wrote about the release of the book, and the crowdfunding campaign that helped make the book a reality in this blog post. Crowdfunding (crowd-sourced fundraising) is a great way to raise money for projects and Johanna harnessed this trending funding model to help make one of her dreams come true. Congratulations Johanna. And, here’s to selling lots of copies of the book! You can get your copy of the book by clicking here.
