Paper Doll: Lessons Learned from a Life Lived in the Headlines

by LuAn Mitchell

If you assumed that petite LuAn Mitchell-Halter is a beauty queen, you'd be right. She's also been a meat packer, Canada's #1 Female Entrepreneur, flat broke, a multi-millionaire, and survived the loss of her husband-all before turning forty. Image isn't everything. LuAn Mitchell-Halter has been fortunate to be able to cut through the public's image of her as a "paper doll"-someone who is only defined by the clothes she wears-and release the core of her being. She has now chosen who she is and what she decides to wear on life's journey based on her experience, instinct, and wisdom. In Paper Doll, for the first time, Canada's leading businesswoman andphilanthropist shares her story. LuAn tells what happened behind the scenes of her public life and offers sage advice to readers about breaking the barriers that others can build around you. LuAn's simple principles will teach you how to look for the answers within yourself to achieve personal success, regardless if others think you are sure to fail. She has learned that it's usually the fear of losing it all-money, pride, and stature-that can stop us from believing in ourselves, but the only genuine loss is when we fail to be authentic to our true selves.
