"Women make up 51% of the U.S. population, but make 85% of the purchasing decisions - making American women the largest national economy on Earth."  (USAToday)  

I am already reading the book by local author and business woman Kaira Sturdivant Rouda.

No.  How could you know that? Just a couple of people know that... the person who signed for the manuscript when they sent it over... from the administrative office, my blogging friend from the office, my boss... I just had to tell a few people... but I am sworn to secrecy about the contents of the book...  I can't disclose what's in the book until after it is published!

When she came back from Inman Connect (a gathering for the real estate industry) Kaira asked me via email if I would read the book! I wonder if Kaira ran into my Fairy Blogmother Frances Flynn Thorsen at Inman Connect...  I think Kaira and Frances may have been on the same panel... 

I can't review Real You Incorporated  until February 15, 2008 and even then I am not sure that I know how to review a book.... but what's the point of doing anything if you don't blog about it... (what have I become?)

At a company meeting (Real Living HER in the Central Ohio market) Kaira talked about her soon to be published book a little and did an exercise from the book... yes, while not a hokey work book... it is interactive.  At the company meeting we did one of the first suggested exercises... not strenuous in the least.  

Reviewing my boss's, boss's, boss's book... gosh that makes me nervous.  I don't really know if that is how it works...  the boss's boss's boss thing.... Kaira is the President of Real Living.
