The Barefoot Executive: The Ultimate Guide for Being Your Own Boss & Achieving Financial Freedom
by Carrie Wilkerson
by Carrie Wilkerson
I first heard about Carrie through two of my heroes, Dan Miller's 48 Days podcast and Dave Ramsey's podcast. I knew she was a very successful businesswoman and I was excited to see she published a book.
The first part of this book was not what I expected. She shared a bit about her story, but instead of digging deeper into the details, she often repeated the same high level accomplishments. Those are great, but I really wanted her to share how she did those life changes. Not too much detail, but maybe one chapter to describe:
1. This is how I changed my career
2. This is how I increased my health
3. this is how I prioritized my family
4. This is how I changed my financial wellbeing, etc.
The last half of this book was more what I was looking for in this book. She outlines various types of business models, runs through how to determine what are best avenues for to-be business owners and give very useful overview on how to get your message out to the public.
Although I had some comments about what I wish was in the book, don't let it keep you from checking this out. It was a very solid book and I'm glad I read it.
