This book was such an easy read and extremely practical. The content is so valuable. The exercises provided such clarity and really helped you to dig deep into what you truly desire. I loved it.

I love this book! The exercises are great for setting your vision, values, and priorities for starting a business. They help you identify your strengths and skills, and formulate an initial business plan (not a detailed one, read other business books for that). They discuss common obstacles to succeeding in your business and suggest practical tips for overcoming them. The time management tips are not new for productivity junkies like me but complete the package nonetheless. I'm not a parent but this book seems like it would be useful to entrepreneurs with kids, especially moms. I will definitely complete all the exercises at some point, and will probably buy this book (checked it out from the library).

This surprisingly had useful information for me lol. I basically read it hoping to get some ideas and maybe a new mantra and I found it. It’s very repetitive but they also acknowledge the broken record that they are in writing to help drive home the importance of said points. I am glad I randomly chose this! Recommend if you are starting a business as a mom :)

Great affirmation and some good nuggets of advice on how to still be a mom and incorporate self care and passion in your chosen work; self employment.

By knowing what really matters to you at this point in your life, you can align your projects to those priorities. That way, you can make sure all your time goes to what you love.
