Real life stories

No made up BS. I have been following Bethenny for years and these stories are great details behind the images. She is a real woman sharing excellent business knowledge. My favorite is the bathing suit story. The lesson here is that you must trust your gut and fight for the right things; push back when it is the right thing to do.

A Boost of Spirit

Sometimes in life we need a little boost, a reminder of what is important and how to obtain your goals. This was the perfect book to light that fire of motivation and to realize that the possibilities are endless; it's never too late to create the world you had imagined for yourself.
