San Jose, CA (PRWEB) May 2, 2007 -- In 2004, Aundrea Lacy, a young, smart, attractive, business-savvy woman who suffers with dyslexia, wrote her first inspirational book "Luv Story: From Homemade Brownies to My Own Internet Baker." In the best-seller, Lacy shared real life experiences, including how she kept her company thriving through an economic downturn and her personal life crises. Lacy has just published her second important literary offering "Brownie Points: Seven Steps to Success For Woman Entrepreneurs from One Who Made It." Her latest book is a greatly expanded new version of "Luv Story;" one in which she answers the many questions she is often asked during speaking engagements by girls and women who want to start their own businesses. Without changing her simple and straightforward style, Lacy goes into new detail on important topics like how to launch a new business; starting out while still in school; budgeting and bookkeeping; vertical marketing; advertising and public relations; and much more. She illustrates every point with examples from well-known successful firms, as well as her own experiences. (Brownie Points: Seven Steps to Success …, Agate, paperback, 128 pp, $14.00 US, ISBN 1-932841-26-1).
