new book DREAM BIG! redefines traditional thinking, Inspiring, delightfully irreverent and unstoppable, award-winning entrepreneur and mother Deborah Rosado Shaw understands all too well what it's like to have your back against the wall, scared of the consequences of moving forward, but terrified of what will happen if you don't make changes in your life. She has experienced first-hand the guilt and frustration of being a single, working mother -- the taffy-pull between building a financial future and being there for the kids. Today, this founder and CEO of a multimillion dollar company is nationally recognized for her achievements, made all the more extraordinary by the odds she overcame. Born to an impoverished Puerto Rican family and raised in New York City's South Bronx, Deborah knows the tragedy and triumph of having to scale unimaginable hurdles every step of the way in the journey to success. In DREAM BIG! A Roadmap for Facing Life's Challenges and Creating the Life You Deserve [The Free Press; March 2001; $23.00], she shares her hard-earned wisdom, offering a bold, fresh, and practical set of rules for seizing the reins to personal and professional fulfillment.

"Most of my life I have struggled with some very tough challenges, only to discover that dignity, joy and peace were just a decision away. But this simple truth rarely gets any airtime. Instead we get fed a sanitized/glamorized/idealized version that cheats us from what is rightfully ours. And the more we chase this illusion the further away we get from the basic fact that we are each born perfect, powerful and predestined for greatness."
