Amazing

So many wonderful tips and stories about being boss. A must for women who are struggling being boss or just want to expand their knowledge. I listened twice!

Pushed me further into my life

This book had a lot of great information. I was taking notes the entire time. I do not have a creative type business but i find the information to be relevant to running a business in general as well as working a day job. I recommend this book to everyone i talk to.

I read it all in one day.

I couldn’t stop reading it! Comes with worksheets to start your journey. I will probably play it again and do the worksheets over.

Awesome

Great listen! Reacharded my boss additude! easy listen! great advise! recommended to every boss out there!

Much needed kick in the butt

I love their podcast and have binge listened to this more than once when I need a good kick in the ass to get motivated!!!
I also bought the kindle edition! Keep it up ladies!

Life-changing

So much smart, heart-centered wisdom and tough love from Emily and Kathleen. I ordered the print copy as well to hold and mark up and work through again and again.

Absolutely terrible. Too late to return.

Easily the most regrettable Audible purchase I've ever made. It's over 5 hours of me-me-me stories of mundane useless information. Want to start a business because you don't want a "job" where someone else owns the business? Open an Etsy shop. Talk to other Etsy sellers about what they do to learn more. Repeat. There, I saved you your money and time. Shame on the authors for putting out such empty vapid content.

Have to buy the hardcopy

This book was wonderful, really speaks to the heart of the creative. I will buy the hardcopy as well, to take notes. Totally worth another read!

Loved it!

Loved this book, as a new business owner it was super helpful. It was just enough mindset and practical advice. I thought Emily & Kathleen were both great, I actually connected with Kathleen more and for those who said negative things about her voice, get out of here with that ridiculous nonsense. They are both great and they both have great narrating voices in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone starting their own business!

inspirational and down to earth.

loved it and I really liked the fact that it is not a long book.

Real information for real life and business

This book really is full of very useful, applicable information for anyone who runs their own business or wishes to do so. I have been an independent artist for soon to be 20 years and I am SO JEALOUS of anyone starting their business now at this moment: they can implement all these principles from the start and save themselves so much trouble and stress❤️

loved every minure of this book

This book is amazing for creatives and serves as a great source of inspiration. through listening to this book I've opened 2 new business ventures

Best Decision.

I chose this as my free book from Audible and I think it is going to be the smartest decision I have made in a while. They give you tips And some great practical advice. I felt before the end of the first chapter these bosses knew exactly what was going on in my head and they were speaking directly to me.

Awesome

I’ve read the book but I wanted to have the audio book running in the background whilst I “do the work” it’s inspirational, visionary and just generally brilliant! Love these girls!

I'm happy for them

I love the podcast and was in two minds about getting the book. The content is well structured and I like that they narrated it as that felt familiar. I definitely think I would have preferred this as a physical book as it does contain some practical tips that I'd like to circle back too but it's lost in the audio. I don't know that there's anything groundbreaking it new in the book or that it's remarkably different from the podcast except that we get more of a glimpse of them as individuals which is a nice change.

Being Boss, the title says it all!

Great book ladies, thank you for sharing your advice and tips and I love that you went into detail about partnerships and collaborations. I’ve taken away some great tips especially about aligning my values with my boundaries. The practical tips that you’ve offered are of great value to the average mumpreneur like me who is looking for guidance in what can be an overwhelming industry at times.

Just buy it

These gals have a knack of speaking to such a wide audience of creatives yet somehow relating to you on a personal level at every point. Devoured on a 6 hour drive and loved every minute. Thank you Kathleen & Emily!
