That we can't be anything but a failure. . .What they don't tell you is that every obstacle and mess-up in your life has only prepared you for success.

Motivation to take the jump
Pinky….. thank you Soror.
This book was the perfect mix of business advice, therapy and memoir wrapped as a conversation with a girlfriend over lunch. While the content of the book was great, it’s not something I haven’t heard before. She speaks on mindset shifting as well as provides some great tips for those that need help organizing their ideas to start a business. HOWEVER, it was written the most digestible way. It literally was like having a conversation with an old friend. She gives you the information in a raw and personal way. There is no way that you can read this without having a little more hope or encouragement. You really believe her when she says that she wants you to be great.
I recommend this for anyone that believes in themselves but the doubts keep creeping in. It’s for anyone that believes they are stuck with the crappy hand of cards that were dealt to them. Pinky Cole will be the sister friend, big cousin and social media mentor that you never thought you’d have.

Creative executive Pinky Cole has chosen an unusual title for what turned out to be an inspirational and practical book. She identified standards where you could find failure. In depression, sadness, fogginess, defeat, developing bad friendships and bad relationships. She overcame failure to establish an informative podcast and Vegan Women's Summit. A quick read with a great purpose--helping others avoid the mistakes she made.

Entertaining self help book. I’m not even a fan of self help books but this one was funny and good.
