I know I’m supposed to be inspired, but cheery stories about former lawyers-turned-successful entrepreneurs with picture-perfect family lives are getting on my nerves. More annoyingly, in the accompanying photos they are always striking one of those “Look, I’m successful personally and professionally” poses.
Recently, I came across such a picture in Working Mother magazine, which showed a woman with her four beautiful children and beaming husband (what else?) in some Eden-like setting. It’s a first-person account by Sarah Davis, a California lawyer, who managed to turn her love of designer handbags into a multimillion-dollar business.
