As promised earlier
Here’s a picture of my copy of The Boss of You:

And here’s an image of what most of the first three chapters of my book look like:

If you think you could benefit from this book, too, I’m running a contest. Scroll to the bottom of this post and leave a comment. I’ll be drawing one winner at random and emailing them a brand new copy of this book.
And I’d like to reiterate that this book isn’t just geared to people who produce a small line of independently made goods. This book is for women starting a small business. Whether that business is a copy-editing agency, a line of kids clothing, or even a yoga studio I think this book would be helpful for you. And while there is a definitely a focus on women business owners, I could see some men finding this a helpful business book as well. If you want to get to the top of the heap as quickly as possible so you can buy that Beemer before your little brother does, this isn’t the book for you. If you wan to develop and explore your entrepreneurial energy while still having friends, a family, and fun that isn’t related to how you earn a living, then you’ll like this book.
I’ve finished mine, and I’ve been blessed by the number of people who said that they support me and have offered to help me as they’re able. The period of self- and business-focused reflection has been very good to me. I’ve begun to realize what events have happened in the last two years that have gotten me off track from my original goals. And, for a variety of reasons, I’m not comfortable sharing them publicly but I’m glad that I’ve had this outside influence that has given me the ability to back up and figure out why I’ve done what I’ve done. And not all of it is flattering, but all of it is beneficial. Or will be in the long run.
