Not yet published
Expected 3 Feb 26Get Real is a business book for women filled with inspirational and honest stories of starting, scaling and failing in business. Entrepreneur Lisa Teh was inspired to write the book after realising her summer reading list had plenty of business books written for, and by, men, but very few by women. This fuelled her desire to inspire women to follow their start-up dreams, but to also give them practical advice via her own learnings from running and scaling successful businesses.
If you've ever wanted to start your own business, are currently doing a side hustle or are looking to take your business to the next level, this is the book for you. Get Real is full of valuable lessons from Lisa and 30 other amazing women – in fields ranging from fashion to tech and healthcare – on topics from how find your business idea, raising money, scaling, marketing your brand, backing yourself, how to build resilience (especially when the odds are stacked against you) and much more.
Women face unique challenges in business and as Lisa proudly 'You can't be what you can't see.'

I heard about this book on a women in business podcast so bought it online, but was disappointed. Why?
I don't like the cover AT ALL, I get what it was trying to achieve but just don't like it.
I thought it would be Australian entrepreneurs (not sure why but there you go).
I felt there were too many stories from cosmetic / skin care entrepreneurs.
I felt it only skimmed the surface - would much have preferred less stories, that went deeper.
