19 June 2023 - Two Weeks Notice is a very practical book, and while I liked it, I am not her target audience
As such, I did a good amount of skimming and skipping. Until recently, I never lacked the courage to quit a job. Granted, I did not "unboss" myself per Porterfield's definition, but I left good, stable jobs to move to Seattle, to study Italian in Florence, etc. Giving my two week notice was never my issue.
My issue was -- and still is -- not knowing what I want to be when I grow up. Alas, my answer to Porterfield's key question 'If I couldn't fail, and money wasn't an issue, what would I want to do for a living?': nothing.
I am Gen X. I am the personification of that tired meme
Darling, I've told you several times before...I do not have a dream job. I do not dream of labour!
16 June 2023 - I think that I heard this author speak on a podcast recently. Unfortunately, I cannot remember how I discovered Two Weeks Notice, which seems like the perfect book for me at the moment. I am less than a week away from turning an age that puts retirement in my sights, and I do not think that I can weather the storm that is Corporate America for much longer. The constant focus on creating and updating goals is exhausting. At this point, I am more interested in personal development than professional development.
This book is pure, unadulterated insanity. For the first half of the book, my jaw was on the floor with the advice this woman was giving. I’m glad I got this book from the library because good God.
So, Amy Porterfield is a former Tony Robbins employee gone full-time entrepreneur helping people start their own little journeys. The second I heard the Tony Robbins thing, I was skeptical, but I was still giving it a chance. But then, in the first half of the book, she’s just convincing the reader to quit their job and go solo.
I’m all for people quitting their jobs to pursue entrepreneurship, but it comes with the caveat of having some sort of plan. Porterfield legitimately suggests that you give your two weeks notice even if you don’t have a plan and just to figure it out along the way. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that she drills this into the reader.
Later, she gives half-decent advice about promoting your business and finding leads. But at the end of the day, Amy Porterfield is just a hustle culture guru who makes money off of telling people to start their own businesses. This is a scary niche that I fell into years ago until realizing how there are so many variables you can never account for.
Read this book if you want a good laugh, but I wouldn’t take it seriously at all.
I’ve loved Amy Porterfield’s podcast for quite some time. She’s helped me grow my side-hustle, build my email list and feel like starting a full-time business of my own could actually be possible. And this book gave me the roadmap how. I’ve chosen my quit date, created an exit strategy, created momentum around my email list, outlined my new content plan, designed a new workshop and have lists upon lists of ideas to move forward with. I feel like giving my two week notice is truly possible now. This is a book not just to be read, but to be lived.
Here’s a sobering fact: we spent almost a third of our lives working. That can be tough to hear – especially if you’re currently working to achieve someone else’s goals.
Sure, the security of a 9-to-5 is comforting. But wouldn’t you rather enjoy the financial, creative, and lifestyle freedom of being your own boss? This is not a pipe dream. Starting your own business is more achievable than you might think.
The author made the leap when she was 31. She left her office job and started creating digital courses to help people with their online marketing. The result? She became an 8-figure entrepreneur.
In this book, you’ll discover the tricks, tips, and tools needed to do the same. This step-by-step startup plan teaches you everything you need to know about building and growing your online business – so you can finally find the success you deserve.
---
Find your why, and make your exit.
Are you happy with your current work situation? If you’re reading this book, the answer is probably no.
Don’t worry – that’s nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, recognizing your own frustration is the first step on your journey to freedom. There might even come a tipping point that pushes you into your new life. For the author, it came when her best friend called her out for working on her wedding day. She decided then that she didn’t want to hustle on someone else’s behalf anymore.
That was her reason for becoming her own boss. What’s yours?
Once you’ve found your “why,” it will be easy to decide you’re really going to do this. Now you just have to get started.
The best way to give yourself the push you need is to schedule an exit date for your current job. The author wrote hers on a sticky note and put it up on her bathroom mirror. When picking a date, ask yourself, Which day would the bravest version of myself choose?
This doesn’t mean leaving without a plan. Set your date so you have time to build a runway for your exit. Your runway will consist of three simple steps:
First, define your starter idea – what business do you want to start?
Second, create a financial plan. You don’t need to draw up a whole business plan – but you do need to know how much money to make to survive.
Third, create one piece of content to put online. You don’t need a website for this – just start with social media.
We’re going to dive into each of these steps in the next sections. And once you’ve completed them, it’s time to hand in your notice. Research the best way to quit your job – you want to stride into your new life as gracefully as possible.
As you do so, rest assured that it’s completely normal to have tons of questions. You don’t need to have all the answers from the get-go. Your “why” just needs to be a little stronger than your doubts.
And if you’re worried that you’re going to fail – well, that’s part of the learning process. The author’s first digital course launch was a massive flop. Now, her business makes eight figures a year.
So what are you waiting for? Find your why, plan your exit, and then get out of there! The world is ready for you.
---
Nail down your business idea.
If you want to run a business, you need a product to sell. This much is obvious. What you might not realize is that it’s perfectly OK to start without an exact product in mind.
That’s right – you don’t need a revolutionary new idea to start a business. You just need to find your 10-percent edge. What does that mean?
The author was working as a marketing expert for Tony Robbins when she decided to become her own boss. But for a long time, she didn’t know what her business could be about. So she spent countless hours researching online marketing strategies. And then it hit her: by doing all this research, she knew much more about building a successful online business than most other people. So she started creating digital courses helping people build their online businesses.
Finding your 10-percent edge simply means finding a topic in which you have 10 percent more knowledge and ability than the average person. The author’s 10-percent edge was her expertise in online marketing. Think about it – what is everyone always asking you about? Maybe it’s childcare tips, or sewing patterns for dresses, or vegan cooking techniques.
Everybody has something they do particularly well that other people could benefit from. Even if other people are already doing what you do, there’s value in your unique perspective.
Here’s a simple exercise to help you find your “you” factor. For the next three days, write down every business idea that pops into your head, without judgment – no matter how stupid or unrealistic it seems. Then, review your list and pick the three best ideas. Brainstorm on each of them for 20 minutes. How could you make a real business out of the idea?
Research the products related to these ideas that people are already paying for. In the world of online business, there are generally three different revenue models you’ll want to consider.
There’s a coaching and consulting model. This means having one-on-one or group sessions online to advise people in the area of your expertise. For instance, one of the author's students coaches people on how to properly train their dogs.
Then there’s service-based work. This could mean delivering ready-made meals to people, or planting their gardens.
And then there’s building digital courses – this is what the author does. In this model, you create online workshops to help people learn certain skills, and sell them directly via your website.
Which model works best for your idea?
Don’t worry, nothing you decide is set in stone. It’s likely that your product will change and evolve through interactions with your customers. So now it’s time to find them.
---
Define and capture your audience.
Social media can be a great place to find support for your business. Or it can totally mess with your confidence. Not so long ago, the author was freaking out over some negative comments she received on Instagram. The commentators were questioning her knowledge – and they even linked to alternative marketing experts they thought were doing a better job.
But when she called a good friend about it, she received little sympathy. Instead, her friend gave her a simple piece of wisdom: “You ain’t for everyone, boo.”
This is a key lesson for people who are starting their own business. Not everyone will like what you do – and that’s alright. You just need the right people to like you enough to invest in you.
So when you set up your business, don’t ask yourself how you can appeal to every single potential customer. Ask yourself what type of customer you want to attract.
You can do this by creating an “ideal customer avatar.” First, brainstorm what your ideal customer looks like. Define them along the lines of their career, their hobbies, their content consumption, specific demographic traits, and so on.
For instance, you could think about the following questions: What age range does your ideal customer have? What are their hopes and dreams? What do they struggle with? Who inspires them? How would they benefit from your product?
Once you’ve nailed down your ideal customer’s traits, create a fictional person that embodies them. For the author, this is Dana. She’s a 39-year-old mother of two who’s dreaming about starting her own online business so she can spend more time with her kids.
Your ideal customer avatar is the North Star of your business. You should create your final product and every piece of content with them in mind. For example, let’s say your ideal customer is a 28-year-old entrepreneurial type who’s looking for quick and easy nutritional advice. What kind of digital course would they benefit from most? What type of Instagram post would they like to see? How would they like to be addressed in an email newsletter?
Knowing who you're creating for is an amazing way to instantly improve your content. In the next section, we’ll learn even more about content creation.

Create your best content ever.
Every business today – whether traditional or digital – needs a great online presence. But what kind of online content should you actually create?
Let’s start with the most obvious one: a website. Strictly speaking, you don’t need a fancy website to start your business. In today’s world, a great social media presence can be worth much more. But you should at least have a site that provides people with some basic information. A home page, an about page, a contact page, and a content page are all you need to do this. You can work on the design, photography, and copy as your business grows. Just keep in mind what you’re trying to achieve with the site. Do you want people to sign up for an online course? Or do you want to sell them your latest book?
The second part of your online presence is the content you create. We’re not talking about social media bits and blips here. We’re talking about long-form content containing actual information. This could mean videos, blog entries, or holding online office hours for your audience. At the beginning, choose one content platform – such as YouTube, SubStack, or Spotify – and stick to it. Keep your ideal customer avatar in mind. What content do they prefer to consume?
Put out your long-form content on a regular schedule – once a week works best. When the author started releasing her podcast on a weekly schedule, her profits nearly tripled.
And if you’re worried about giving out free information – don’t be. The more value your customers get from your content, the more likely they are to want the complete package. This could mean hiring you for a private coaching session, or buying your online workshop.
Once you’ve created your main content, your social media content will follow almost naturally. Make little clips of your long-form videos, transform your blog post into graphics, or give people a glimpse of your private life. Once again, choose the social media platforms that work for your ideal customer type.
Of course, it’s best to schedule your social media posts as diligently as your other content. For the greatest piece of mind, you may also want to consider using a scheduling software that posts automatically.
Things really don’t need to be more complicated than that. If your content is valuable, people will want to invest in you.

Make some money.
Now, let’s get to the most important question of all: How are you going to make money with your business?
We’ve already discussed different revenue models. There’s coaching and consulting, there’s service work, and there are online courses.
Once you’ve decided on one of them, there are only two questions left to answer: How much should your product cost? And how are you going to deliver your product?
To determine the cost of your product, follow these simple steps.
First, decide on your revenue goal. How much money do you need to make ends meet? For instance, your initial goal might be to make $1,500 a month.
Next, determine how many of your products you can put out in any given week. Let’s say your business is to create custom meal plans for busy working moms. And let’s say you can easily do one meal plan a day, meaning five meal plans a week.
Now you just need to do the math. If you have, say, one customer, you need to charge $75 per meal plan in order to make $1,500 a month.
The next big decision will be how to deliver your product. If you’re offering service-based work, things will be pretty straightforward. If you’re offering online consulting or launching a digital course, you might have to set up some tech. But you know what? Most things aren’t as complicated as they seem. For instance, it’s very easy to create a live webinar link with Zoom. You can let people pay for the webinar with you on your website, and then mail them this link. That’s just one method. There are plenty of other ways to deliver your paid content – you can easily research different strategies online.
And that’s the meat of what you need to become your own boss. Of course, this journey isn’t without its unique problems. But the beauty is that you have all the power to define the solutions. So set some boundaries and nonnegotiables to guide your journey. Don’t let your clients boss you around with unrealistic expectations and unmeetable deadlines. Don’t get too ambitious yourself, either! When it comes to content, simpler often means better. And finally, admit when you need help. If you do everything right, there might come a point where you won’t be able to run your business on your own anymore.
But for now, it's on you to take the first step. Becoming your own boss was never as easy as it is today.
---
Building an online business – and becoming your own boss – has never been so easy. You just need to draw on your unique skills and knowledge to come up with a good starter idea. This could mean offering coaching on a particular topic, selling a digital course, or providing a service that people can book online. Once you’ve got your basic strategy in place, you can plan your exit from your 9-to-5.
A few simple steps will set your business up for success. For one, you need to have a good idea of your ideal customer. Then, you should aim to regularly put out content that caters to this target audience. And finally, you need to create a revenue-generating product that appeals to your loyal customer base. It could be anything from seminars on raising children to custom workout plans to coaching sessions on emotional eating – the possibilities are endless. And with the right approach, your business will bring you the creative, financial, and lifestyle freedom you deserve.
I cannot recommend this book enough for anyone wanting to give their two weeks notice! After listening to her podcast for years & taking several of her workshops & courses, I feel like it’s written as though she’s sitting across the table talking to me in person. This is such an inspiring read & I highly recommend ordering your copy today!
Online marketing expert Amy Porterfield knows just how scary it is to leave a 9-5 corporate job to step out on your own. Now the owner of a successful business and host of the Online Marketing Made Easy podcast, Porterfield gives you a detailed blueprint to show you just what it takes to build your own business.
I've listened to Porterfield's podcast for years, and have found that she gives great marketing advice applicable to all kinds of online businesses. However, Two Weeks Notice has a very focused target audience: corporate girls ready to leave their 9-5 jobs. If that's you, you'll find great advice on how to start your own online company - how and when to transition, how to find your niche and target audience, and how to earn money (with an emphasis on creating courses). Else, I'd pass on this one in favor of a book that will speak more to your situation.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Hay House through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
I've listened to countless episodes of Amy Porterfield's Online Marketing Made Easy podcast, attended several webinars and masterclasses, and finally became one of her students in 2022. Amy provides tremendous value to her students. I've learned sooo much about building an email newsletter! If you need expert guidance for finding your audience, nurturing relationships with customers, and acquiring the tools to become a successful marketer and entrepreneur, you need to read Two Weeks Notice. Amy Porterfield is optimistic yet so authentic and relatable. She'll address any excuse you can come up with to not dip your toe in the online marketing pool because she's been there. This book is a fantastic resource that you'll be able to apply to wherever you are in your journey toward becoming a brilliant entrepreneur. Thank you, Team Porterfield, for the opportunity to read an early copy of Two Weeks Notice. It's an honor to help launch this book out into the world.
Although my goal is not to give two weeks notice, I have been pondering a side hustle that will slowly lead me towards retirement. This book is inspiring and practical. I have taken many notes and continue to ponder my next steps.
Word salad - never gets anywhere- the same thing repeated over and over again- woke AF thrown in for more sales of book- got the audiobook and returned it the moment the words birthing people were mentioned and then was "educated" that not only women gave birth. Yes, Amy, you should think of who you are selling books to... especially when your entire stance is empowering women. This is the kind of writing that isn't going to age well when history writes about the 2020s
Helpful if you’re just starting out especially the clarity on who you are (your brand) and who your customer is.
I’ve been at this a couple of years now and have taken two of Amy’s workshop-style courses (one on digital courses and one on growing your email list) so I didn’t really learn anything new. A lot of Amy’s approach feels like an MLM in that she gives you these huge success stories and makes you think you can achieve it too, but it’s probably 5% of all people (just guessing) who have really quit their jobs and make 6-figures on an online business.
Porterfield repeatedly claims that building an online course is her favorite income-generating strategy… but it’s also the strategy/section where she gives the skimpiest amount of guidance.
This book is quite literally changing and gonna change my life! I’ve finished reading but I plan to continue to use it as I continue to build my business. Thank you Amy for a true, affordable, and personal guide! Shout out to the Mel Robbins podcast because that’s how I found out about this book!!
In the society we live, it is easy to second guess decisions, hold oneself back from excellence for fear of failure, and the list of trepidation goes on. From what I derived in reading an advance copy, this book is a must read for every person breathing. Amy Porterfield has unique and proven methods of helping people reach new heights in goals and success. If you’re stuck in any area of life, read this book today!
Bravo! This book is the framework I needed when I first started thinking about starting my own business and when I discovered Amy Porterfield. I’ve been implementing Amy’s strategies but it makes so much sense to have them all in one place! This is definitely the playbook to continue implementing and growing my business.
Love love love this book! This is the book I needed when I was dreaming of my business! Even now, so many great actionable steps that will help me in my business! This book is not only theory but actionable steps!
The 10% Edge When you’re trying to come up with business (or content) ideas, you ideally want to find something that’s in the sweet spot where (a) you’re good at the thing, (b) there’s a market for the thing, (c) there’s profit potential with the thing, and (d) you actually enjoy the thing.
But it’s that first factor - being good at the thing - that holds a lot of people back. It’s easy to feel like you have to be a certified expert in your field before you’re ‘allowed’ to make videos about it, or build a business around it. This is often the biggest thing that holds people back from starting their YouTube channel, or their business - the feeling that they’re not quite “good enough” yet to be taken seriously.
But, the crucial point Amy makes is that being ‘good at’ something, doesn’t mean you need to be an expert at it. It just means you need to have a 10% Edge compared to your audience.
If you’re 10% more experienced at doing the thing than the people you’re targeting, you’re absolutely allowed to help people with it.
This to me was very liberating.
Even having been in this YouTube game since 2017, I still feel imposter syndrome and worry about making content on stuff where I’m not an ‘expert’.
But, I’m pretty confident that I’ve got at least a 10% Edge over most of my audience in all those areas where my imposter syndrome is holding me back. Sure, the content may be fairly basic, and not be that relevant to the aficionados in the thing I’m talking about, but basic information is what 99% of people need.
Another reason I like the idea of the 10% Edge is because in our Part-Time YouTuber Academy (which is still open for enrolment: academy.aliabdaal.com 😉), loads of beginners are held back because they don’t think anyone will care about what they have to say if they’re not already an expert. But, if they don’t actually start creating content, they won’t get all the great benefits that come with being a YouTuber.
So, if you’ve been held back by any form of business, content creation or even starting a YouTube channel, then consider whether you’re falling into the trap of perfectionism. And consider whether, by lowering your bar to just needing to have that 10% Edge, you might get over your fear of not being good enough, and you might be able to get started.

Amy has had a profound impact on my business journey, and I was lucky enough to be featured in Chapter 10 of the book, which discusses the transition to an online business (yes, that's me!). It’s surreal to see my own story in a New York Times bestseller, especially since Amy’s content was such a huge part of my success.
What I love about this book is that Amy doesn’t just give you high-level theories; she gives you step-by-step guidance on building an online business.

*Disclaimer I am Jamie from Chapter 10 of this book, Two Weeks Notice! You can listen to my full review of this book on my YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vylZw...
I'll get to the point fast: this book would've made great company for me 2007 when I started my first business. If you're thinking about starting a business or starting to consult or just want to know what it would be like to do, this book will be an easy, fast, and fun read.
And the practical marketing elements--THAT is what I wished I had had years ago.
Amy Porterfield is the real deal. She knows marketing, and when you read her book, it's as transparent as she is in her podcast and workshops. Lots of mistakes, and lots to learn. She tells the truth. How to avoid mistakes she (and others) made: that's what people need to read.
I started my first business right before we knew the "great recession" was here (thanks to the poor and selfish leadership of so many companies).
I left a fantastic job of 11 years and great benefits because the new head of HR didn't want any director-level leaders to work part-time. OK, fine, lay me off, and I will start my executive coaching business—your loss.
I spent early mornings (5 am) sitting at my kitchen table as my kids slept, working on what the business would be, who I'd help, and how I'd help.
I wish this book had been with me those early mornings.
Does this feel as if it's geared toward women? Yes. Is that a bad thing? No. Know your audience, your niche, and the people you serve.
This book will help you get your business started. It's lonely out there.
This book is for anyone who has ever dreamed of living life on their own terms, working when you want to work, where, how, and why. Two Weeks Notice will help you right from the beginning, from identifying your idea and helping you create your product, all the way through to the time you open your virtual doors with your business launch!

As a teacher turned side hustler, this book is your FIRST step of many if and when you decide to transition into entrepreneurship. And if you have doubts about the journey, the first two thirds of the book are for you. The last third is actionable steps to make it happen.
Since I’ve been on my journey well before reading this book, the last third spoke to me most. I learned about the income generating strategy I would like to try that I haven’t yet: a live workshop, as well as how to use social media to promote my lead magnet (which I haven’t promoted or maybe even want to scratch). Finally, I’m going to give her post-it note strategy a try when building something new. If it works for her, why not me?
I have been on my side hustle journey (officially) for two years and Amy Porterfield was one of the experts I turned to for guidance. It’s amazing how easily her calm and confident online persona translated into this book. New entrepreneurs: start your journey with this book. It’s a cheap and relevant point of entry!
This review is an honest opinion of the book, which I received as an early copy for being a member of her street team book launch squad.
Amy Porterfield has crafted a truly magnificent pathway for people to leave behind old, constraining and oppressive ways of thinking about work, and embark upon a personal journey to create abundance and joy in their lives by becoming their own boss and the CEO of their dream life and business.
She is so clear and easy to follow. The lessons outlined in this book will help you to envision a way that you can start small and take manageable baby steps towards your dream business, and then slowly begin to grow that until one day, you'll be telling the story of how you became wildly successful and happier than ever.
I have been a fan, a follower and a student of Amy's and I am so grateful she wrote this book because now there is a very easy way to share her teachings with many people.
Read this book if you want to grab the reigns on your life and take action towards running your dream business, even if that's just a fun side-hustle! Amy helps you do it, one chapter at a time.
Amy Porterfield is all heart with a keen sense of online business savvy like no other. With Two Weeks Notice, she boldly embraces her mission to empower women by sharing the roadmap for leaving the corporate grind behind to create a life of their own design with an online business. Despite Amy's reputation for overdelivering, entrepreneurs who've taken Porterfield's hands-on programs will be blown away by just how much she gives readers in Two Weeks Notice. Not only will readers get an intimate look into the experiences that motivated Amy to break the online entrepreneur glass ceiling, but the actionable step-by-step guidance Amy has long been known for, served with a big dose of encouragement to step into one's power to create a business that can change the world for the better. When over half of U.S. women plan to quit their jobs in the next two years, those women need to run not walk to their favorite bookstore to buy Two Weeks Notice.
Amy’s genuineness, openness, and willingness to share her real-life experience and business advice is invaluable. Two Weeks Notice is the ultimate entrepreneurial guidebook that takes you on a journey that inspires you to dream of being your own boss to realizing that dream. Amy’s roadmap to proven success is made clear with real life strategies to implement, pitfalls to avoid, mindset shifts to encourage, and tools and resources to adapt for your business needs.
I highly recommend this book to any new business owner looking for guidance and any seasoned business owner that may need new inspiration to take your business to new heights. I will refer to Two Weeks Notice many times as I grow my business. Thank you, Amy, for sharing your heart and empowering us to choose to be courageous so that we can earn our confidence and make an impact in the lives of others!
If you are an entrepreneur, looking to become an entrepreneur, or want to create a side hustle, then look no further to get started! As someone who has been building an online business for the last three years, my only regret is that I didn't find Amy Porterfield sooner! Her podcast gives so much FREE value, and this book far exceeded my expectations. As someone who has invested thousands of dollars in online business courses, I did not think a book would give me so much insight. Her book gives more value than courses I've spent hundreds of dollars on. Amy has been one of the biggest reasons I have made so much aligned action in my business. Before, it was like throwing spaghetti at the wall, and now, after finding Amy, I have so much direct action to take that leaves results. Buy the book; you won't regret it!
I found Amy this year and have been drawn to her work ever since. Her podcast is so full of golden information and it is the highlight of my day... So I was so pleased when she announced the release of this book. I had the wonderful opportunity to get an early copy and was so pleased. Amy lays out the steps you need to leave your job and pursue your dreams. The content is easily digestible and easy to follow. Amy really cares about helping others not happy in their 9 to 5 jobs and wants to help those start their own business and be successful. The roadmap and steps she has laid out in this book is amazing. Amy, you should be proud of yourself and your team. You have done amazing things and I can't wait to be successful and be part of a Mastermind with you. You have helped me grow so much and forever grateful and appreciate it..
