This book was like a necessary slap in the face. I didn't want to finish it cuz it hurt so much, but I'm really glad I did.

I didn't actually finish this book, but the part I read I found very useful. I only got a few chapters in before I realized this book wasn't for me. It helped me realized that what I want to do isn't really start my own business but is probably more of a side hustle/hobby.

Listening to this book was a poor choice; with the exercises alone it was difficult to follow and revisit, so I would recommend a physical copy that you can reference more easily. The content of the book was heavily psychological, focusing on childhood trauma and fear responses and how all those mental factors relate to a person’s career and entrepreneurial desires. While sometimes reflexively terrifying in its accuracy, the book was very enjoyable and enlightening. It doesn’t provide a ‘magical solution’ to starting your company, but it gives you actionable steps forward and helps you decide if being an entrepreneur is even what you want, and why you might be leaning in that direction. If you’ve been working on a side hustle, or dreaming of launching a product, I recommend you dive into this and answer the difficult questions Amie poses. You might surprise yourself, or at least learn a little more about the way your brain responds the way it does.

While there were nuggets of brilliant advice in this, and it helped me discover something about the business I'm running that will shape my life, I can't in good conscience give it more than three stars because there were whole chunks of chapters I didn't read, I just skipped over them. I mean, I get why they were there, as a way to explain why and how we react the way we do to different business situations, and if I was a different person, I might have really enjoyed it. But I'm just not that interested in psychology, and I feel that a summary would have been much more helpful than the pages and pages of references to studies and "What does that mean? Well what does that mean?" It was just a lot, and I ended up skipping a lot of it.

This book isn't really about starting a business. It occasionally touches on some aspects of business in general, but is very surface level and mainly deals with how your upbringing and society have shaped your mindset negatively. The author relies heavily on the book, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, and writes extensively about how her perceived family dysfunction growing up, her ex-spouse, and society in general were roadblocks to having a successful business. If you are interested in pseudo psychological self reflection, this book might have some value. However, if you are interested in practical information about entrepreneurship, this doesn't have it.

[Slynn Bookster · Rating 2 out of 5]

There's a lot of good information in this book but it is provided in a very liberal slant. I thought I was getting a book about women in business but it ended up being about family dynamics, identity and roles, and whether performed by nature or nurture. Honestly, I stopped after that chapter since it didn't appear I was going to get what I needed out of it.

Great read for side hustles!

I needed some guidance, being the first in my family to make my side hustle official. This book provided great insights on the pre, during, and post launch business strategy.

[Alyssa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! This book is so incredibly good. This book did not hold back at all from giving you the truth but giving honest healthy hints and tips to grow your business. Enjoyed the whole thing.
