Twenty Won: Best Seller in three categories and Top 10 in Women & Business publications.
In an unprecedented year, 21 women pivoted and persevered for success in 2021. These strong, determined women had the drive to start (and re-start) their businesses, they kept their established businesses afloat, and they raised awareness and funds for their nonprofit organizations... all during the year of COVID-19. Though 2020 presented so many unknowns in the entrepreneurial space, so much good was achieved, too. Twenty Won is an anthology of 21 female business owners and nonprofit leaders sharing stories of business resilience during the 2020 global crisis. It is a celebration of those achievements to inspire and empower you to triumph over your trials too! Despite the challenges of 2020, Twenty Won! Visit the official Twenty Won page here. |
Praise for Twenty Won
Insightful, thought provoking, and entertaining... "Upon opening this book, I knew I would be inspired. However, it exceeded my expectations. As an author, radio personality, and business owner, I know we have many ups and downs as we navigate the waters to success, freedom, and happiness. But what drives us to make those decisions to take a leap and persevere no matter how high a wave comes at us? For me, every obstacle I have faced makes me not only push harder to achieve what I desire, but also makes every step of the process less scary. Most importantly, having the support of other determined women makes all the difference in the world. Kelli and the other twenty amazing women featured in Twenty Won offer not only support, but honesty in their personal stories and lessons they have learned while striving for success on their terms. Insightful, thought provoking, and entertaining, this work is a must read for any woman who is ready to seek all that life beholds, no matter what twists and turns are presented along the way."

Every single woman in this book shares her powerful story... "I was immediately hooked by the profound power and impact of this book in the midst of what’s happening to lives and businesses in the early months of 2021. This book is filled with inspiring stories of not only personal triumph and perseverance but also massive business success. Each woman shares how her life lessons, personal trials, and experiences set the stage for her to rise above the challenges of 2020. However, this isn’t just a feel-good book! It’s filled with practical tips and advice on how to handle challenges in your business and life, as well as how to strengthen your mindset and resilience to better handle the unexpected. Every single woman in this book shares her powerful story along with specific tools, techniques, questions, and strategies. Due to the diversity of the authors, Twenty Won is a practical guide to successfully navigate business challenges in any industry. Even with years of business experience, I gleaned new insights and enjoyed the new perspective on old concepts, enjoying the emotion and lessons of every contributor. Throughout the book, what resonates with me the most is how each woman followed her passion and purpose to manifest her desires and create success on her own terms. Whether you’re just starting out in business or are a seasoned veteran, you’ll enjoy the empowering stories and practical strategies that are beautifully woven together. From self-care and emotion management to what you offer and how you lead, this book has you covered inside and out. Twenty Won will help you reconnect to your magic, passion, and purpose to help you pivot for success in any situation while staying true to YOU. Enjoy!"

Serves as a reminder to listen, to lift each other up, and to celebrate successes big and small... "Women are so resilient! Kelli Komondor assembles milestones and journeys of a group of superstars highlighting their stories of persistence, courage, and flexibility. This anthology struck a chord and will inspire me for more: to do more, to be more grateful, to be a better friend, partner, sister, and mom. We do not stop to think about our achievements because we are busy working the “shifts” of professional responsibilities, family, and home duties, as well as finding time to give back. We continue to persevere no matter the circumstances, seldom taking time to account for the milestones we’re achieving. As a fellow entrepreneur, cancer survivor, and aspiring human, each of these stories resonated with me in some way. Twenty Won serves as a reminder to listen, to lift each other up, and to celebrate successes big and small. This is not a dress rehearsal; there are no do overs. Live each day with vigor but also schedule time for feeding your soul, appreciating those around you, and caring for the shell that embodies you to perform monumental tasks."
