Book Review: #GirlBoss

I’m not sure what took me so long to read #GirlBoss by Sophia Amoruso other than the last couple years I haven’t felt like i had time to read.  One of my resolutions (probably like many of you) is to read more books about business.  I absolutely loved this book and I’m pretty sure Sophia and I would have a blast hanging out over drinks.

#GirlBoss and Donut

#GirlBoss is not a feel good business book or a “here’s how to succeed in business as a woman” book. It is simply a look behind the curtains to see how one woman, Sophia Amoruso, found something she was passionate about and learned along the way how to make it successful.   Of course she makes suggestions and offers advice but the main thing I took away from the book is trust your gut and be true to you.  What made her successful was, she didn’t try to fit the mold of other women in business, instead she went her own way and carved out her own path.  She knew what her brand was and never strayed from that.

I loved her suggestion of making your passwords a goal of yours.  This way no matter how busy your day gets or how full your plate is, typing your goal in to access a social media site, your bank account, email, etc. forces you to remain focused on what your ultimate goal is.  As you achieve your goals, just change your password! Such a simple but brilliant idea!

A couple of my favorite quotes from Amoruso in #GirlBoss are:

You’re job as a #GirlBoss is to dive headfirst into things without being too attached to the results.

Entrepreneurial people are passionate about what they do, comfortable with taking risks, and quick at moving on from failures.

I stumbled upon the quote I used in this dreams print not long after I had decided to pursue my dream of being self-employed and running KateOGroup full time.  I’ve never been able to find where this quote originated from but that didn’t stop me from falling in love with it.
