About The Book

A game-changing guide for women to turn their lifestyle businesses into sellable life-changing assets, closing the exit gap, and ensuring they earn as as much as their male counterparts—if not more

On average, companies controlled by men still earn twice the amount that female-owned businesses do. Despite growing opportunities for women-owned businesses to thrive, they still deliver consistently less revenue and profit compared to their male-owned counterparts. And when it comes time to sell a business, even highly successful women entrepreneurs are settling for less.

Carrie Kerpen aims to change this with her simple yet revolutionary process of starting, scaling, and selling for success. The Whisper Way brings her proven method to life in a relatable fable following seven women as they transform their businesses into impactful assets, with:
  • Actionable advice from Carrie’s own eight-figure exit
  • Leadership lessons from women who have sold their businesses for substantial profits
  • Effective evaluations to assess your own company
  • Tried and true tips and tools for improving your business
  • Implementation guidelines for using Carrie’s methodology in your own business

Women are fighting to close the wage gap . . . and The Whisper Way provides concrete steps that business owners can take to close the exit gap. Whether you are beginning your business, finally creating capital, or approaching a time where you are considering cashing in, The Whisper Way will provide you with a practical and profitable path from starting to scale, right through success and sale.
