Leapfrog

The New Revolution for Women Entrepreneurs

De: Nathalie Molina Niño, Sara Grace

Narrado por: Nathalie Molina Niño, Adenrele Ojo

For women entrepreneurs (and anyone sick of the status quo), this smart, unapologetic collection delivers fifty proven hacks to leapfrog over obstacles and succeed in business.

"A must-read for any woman who has a great idea and the nagging thought that doors are closed to her; Molina Niño helps to blow them open."--Publishers Weekly

Think the most critical factor for becoming a great entrepreneur is grit, risk-taking, or technical skills? Think again. Despite what every other business book might say, historical data show the real secret ingredients to getting ahead in business are being rich, white, and male.

Until now. Leapfrog is the decades-overdue startup bible for the rest of us. It's filled with uncompromising guidance for winning at business, your way. Leapfrog is for entrepreneurs of all stripes who are fed up with status quo advice--the kind that assumes you have rich friends and family and a public relations team.

Refreshingly frank and witty, author Nathalie Molina Niño is a serial tech entrepreneur, the founder and CEO of BRAVA Investments, and a proud daughter of Latinx immigrants. While teaching budding entrepreneurs at Barnard College at Columbia University and searching the globe for investment-worthy startups, she has met or advised thousands of entrepreneurs who've gone from zero to scalable business. Here she shares their best secrets in the form of fifty "leapfrogs"--clever loopholes and shortcuts to outsmart, jump over, or straight up annihilate the seemingly intractable hurdles facing entrepreneurs who don't have family money, cultural capital, or connections.

The go-to Entrepreneurs guide

Absolutely love it and learnt so many new hacks. Thanks Nathalie for sharing your story

Essential Resource for Boss Ladies

Thank you Nathalie for an amazing resource full of expert tactics to grow a business. This will be my #1 recommendation to the female entrepreneurs in my network.

One of the best books I've ever read!

This is a must-read for entrepreneurs. The hacks and the author's personal story made it easy to follow and implement them.

So good I got the Hard Copy to make notes

This book is a must, is to be studied and practiced. I bought the hard copy to make notes and get better references of names and organizations.

A must read!

Brilliant! Hacks mixed with stories. The way to learn while being entertained... Road to successes!

Required reading for entrepreneurs

I highly recommend this book, but not because Nathalie is a good friend and not because I'm mentioned. I recommend this book because it is not only well researched, insightful and unconventional, but it is also engaging, relatable and inspiring. It should be required reading for aspiring and current entrepreneurs.

Outcomes over Optics

So many good hacks for early-stage entrepreneurs. I'm fond of the DIY Business School method and also, taking advantage of white-label solutions. Was talking about white-labeling the other day and wasn't sure if it was a good idea. I'm glad that was mentioned. The whole book is great and to hear it in the author's voice is key! Now we need a post-Covid follow up.

Finally a book on women’s entrepreneurship for people like me!

So grateful for this book. Wow! Having grown up the oldest of six to a roofer in Iowa, it’s been disappointing and depressing to read startup advice for people (even women entrepreneurs do this) who went to Ivy League schools and come from or are married to money. Or worse, when these folks assume that people like me can achieve the same outcomes through the same process, because everyone in their bubble has been able to. It’s not real. But this book is! Straight talk from a woman who gets it, and has found alternatives for women like me. One million thank you’s! If you’re a female entrepreneur and you weren’t born with a silver spoon in hand, get this book. And get another for your girl!

The best book for women, entrepreneurs!

I read this book once and listened to it twice! It’s a book that I will continue to go back to as I build and grow new initiatives. Thank you Nathalie for being a guiding and nurturing light in a crazy world!
