Well, my goodness, Poppy sure is proud of herself! To think she started her very own business and made lots of money and she was only 18! And did she mention that she did it all on her own, and made lots of money, and was fresh out of high school? Why, yes, yes, she did - overandoverandover again. Oh, and did she mention that she just looooooves lipstick, especially her very own brand of Poppy lipstick that is just the best, and to think she did it all on her own at the tender age of 18! Woohoo!...more
Interesting story (and advice) by an Australian woman who launched a successful line of lipsticks when she was only seventeen. This book would be especially good for entreprenurial teens.
It was okay. The Author kinda emblazes you with personal stories that don't seem to fit well with the advice she gives you. As a matter of fact, she needs to stop writing self-indulgent books and just stick to her day job, which is creating lipsticks!
I enjoyed this book, though I never managed to finish it. I liked it's rah-rah, you-go-girl encouragement, but I found it lacking in spelling out the more concrete steps one must take in launching a business. That said, Poppy is a cool girl who will undoubtedly give you jolt of inspiration just by sharing her tale. Because really, if an 18-year-old underachiever can launch a lipstick empire, why the hell can't you do something on an equally grand scale? Use this book to amp up your ambition then...more
I love lipstick and I love business books, but this one was TERRIBLE.

Advice for taking your idea and building a company from it. Touches lightly on all aspects of running a business, from picking a business partner to marketing your product. By the way, how do you find someone to manufacture your invention? You librarians should know this: look it up in the phone book.
poppy king is kind of my idol.
whenever I finally succeed in making cupcakes for a living, it will be partially due to her making me smarter.

I was under the impression that the lessons in this book would be applicable to any aspect of your life. They're not. A bit disappointing.
It was okay. There was some alright advice, but in the end I didn't finish the book, it didn't hold my interest enough.
I LOVE this book.
