About this author

Joanne Tombrakos has a genetic predisposition to organization and being a self-starter. This served her well in her professional career, first as a public school teacher and later as an advertising sales executive working for companies that include CBS and Time Warner. In 2008 she left that behind to become an entrepreneur. The challenges she faced are the genesis of her newest book, It Takes An Egg Timer, A Guide to Creating the Time for Your Life.

Today she is a writer, coach and speaker as well as the author of a novel, The Secrets They Kept. She blogs on living and working after corporate America at http://onewomanseye.blogspot.com She and her egg timer reside in New York City.

Overall this is an enjoyable, easy and often funny read. The author captures the fast paced, craziness of Wall Street and what it is like to be one of very few women in a predominately male business atmosphere very well.

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
