Phyllis Williams-Strawder
“Taking Ownership
The book is divided into three sections. First, Williams-Strawder asks readers to look inward and consider whether they're satisfied with their current situation. Next, she guides them through a process of understanding why striving for balance is actually holding them back, and finally offers actionable steps for making decisions that will lead to a more fulfilling life in each of the seven key areas of focus.
Throughout the book, readers will find themselves challenged, inspired, and equipped with the reality check they need to finally make the tough choices they put off till later. The author does not leave readers alone to face their flawed selves, though. Instead, she permits the readers to walk away from anything that is not serving them. What's ultimately important is cultivating a life that works for you- not what society, or even your family and friends, expect of you.”
― Phyllis Williams-Strawder, Balance Is Bullshit: A Solopreneurs Guide To Making F*cking Decisions That Matter

“Contracts are your safety net; they allow you to focus on delivering quality work without worrying about misunderstandings or disputes.”
― Donald Ngonyo
