Any additional comments?

I didn't really find anything of actual value just a lot of stories about herself and others who managed to come up with ideas to start businesses. It's nice to know if she can do it so can I... If I had a dollar for every time she plugged her website I would probably be a hundred dollars richer. This was a very "ra ra ra you go girl" book with lots of feel good vibes but no real usable content.

Marvelous Book.. Inspirational, educational and a pleasure to read

It's been a very long time since I have felt this inspired and motivated. Carrie's book is not only inspirational but educational. Her approach to entrepreneurship is very unique. In this book not only she shares her experience building the biggest online platform for female entrepreneurs, but she shares with her readers everything that has worked for her and provides very clear guidelines to help you turn your dreams into reality. This book has everything, more than good writing, good editing, and a great story that makes you want to read it again. This books provides the necessary tools to stop doubting yourself and start taking action.

As I started reading it, I started to feel so much more positive, and full of energy, so I decided to buy the Audiobook which allowed me to listen to it in the car while driving to my business. This book is a must read for any women who is looking to do more, to trust and put herself out there to shine and be successful.

Worst book ever

This book over promises, under-delivers. Mostly the advice is: change your posture, watch motivational videos. hope the universe will help and "believe." Sorry but it takes way more than that to build a business. If you're looking to simply feel good and read some inspiring quotes, this book is for you. But if you're looking for actual helpful advice and actionable items to help you succeed, this book WON'T HELP.

Love this so much

Would you consider the audio edition of She Means Business to be better than the print version?

This book is incredible. I've had so many brainstorms and I am so inspired.

Fluffy and repetitive.

I don't think this book has a real thesis to it, no real plan, full of fluff, and all around was a common feel-good "#bossbabe" coffee-table reader. It is mostly about Green's business success, which can be helpful as anecdotes but seem to take over the whole book. I came away with "the universe will deliver" as the only mantra, which I really can't take too seriously. I sped it up to 1.5 speed and listened on the bus, but it still felt tedious; this is mostly due to the repetition of "I" or "me" or "my" or "FEA." I was relieved when the book was over but also disappointed that the rave reviews were based on appreciating fluff. I had continued to listen with the hopes of receiving that "ah-ha!" chapter that makes the whole book worth it. Lol.
All that said, Carrie Green has provided a first-step, warm-and-fuzzy book for nervous and hesitant female entrepreneurs, (which also functions as a clever ad for her website...), so I'd recommend it for high school students and those who are only just dipping their toes into the world of business books and entrepreneurship.

A Complete Inspiration

I just love the authenticity Carrie Green bring to the table.

I love how Carrie Green share the story of other entrepreneurs as well.

What does Carrie Green bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Carrie makes you feel like you are just girlfriends sharing your experiences.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I love hearing about Carrie's journey!

Any additional comments?

Carrie Green has poured her heart and soul into this book. What an inspiration she is sharing all her experience and tips for succeeding as an entrepreneur. She is the real deal and knows how to dig in and make things happen. I can't wait to read it again!

Super Actionable Steps!

l loved this book, it has so many examples and then gives specific action steps to follow to help you move yourself and business forward.

Saying the same thing over and over

Didn't really get anything from this just saying the same thing over and over......just say what you want and go for it gratitude same thing others have said. Long for short message

Mostly Fluff

While Carrie Green is wildly successful (and you will hear ALL about it in this book), she said it herself... Paraphrasing: "You're not going to please everyone. Different people are motivated by and connect best with different people." I'm sure she's a wonderful and obviously very hard-working person, but I was put off with the hundreds of times I heard "I" or "me" or "my" or the name of her business and the many, many references to the website. This book seemed like 90% motivation and inspiration. I don't need confidence. I need an action plan. I found myself constantly fast-forwarding 30 seconds at a time to try to find meat and escape the endless stories.

Motivating & Inspiring

I've listen to a total of 3 books to test drive audio books while working on my small business. This one is by far the best. I go through it in one day of work and I wasn't bored at all ( like the other books who will remain nameless) I was inspired I learned a lot of things about my self and business that I plan use going forward. Great read

Some nice tips for developing entrepreneurs!

Carrie had some useful and insightful tips and ideas for entrepreneurs on any stage in their journey (even those who are just thinking about starting a business!)
The book was slightly slow to get going for me; the "motivational" part 1 I felt was quite long, and I was keen to hear more of the details about marketing/developing the business, etc. It was worth the wait, as I very much enjoyed the rest of the book and I will definitely be using some of the skills she recommended.

Surprisingly good

I wasn't sure about this during the first chapter but oh wow, I'm glad I stick with it as it surprised me in a good way - a very informative & helpful book - highly recommend whether you're considering going it alone or using the great advice & tips to improve where you work now - it's a win win.

Amazing read!

Loved it! So many gems in that book. Every female entrepreneur needs to read this!

All female entrepreneurs need this book

I really enjoyed this book and Carrie's unique introverted yet strong approach. Carrie is very honest with the ups and downs of her journey which I think is very refreshing and she shares case studies from a range of different businesses so no matter what your field of business there will be something for you.
As a mindset coach I liked the balance of her mindset elements and then her strategy that has allowed her to become the amazing success she is.
I would definitely recommend this book for any aspiring entrepreneurs!

loved it & now i know what to do!

lovely voice, very relatable person, passionate and smart with very simple clear directives to start taking action immediately, even if you don't know what you're doing to do.. this will help you find out (Thank you Carrie!) xx

Story

It seemed liked she was just telling a story or repeating exactly what she had learned somewhere. It didn't hold my attention.

Nothing new - sadly

Struggled with it. Felt like recycled content. If you have engaged with similar content it becomes quite same-y.

Inspiring & Motivating, I needed this book

What did you like most about She Means Business?

I bought the book and found it so good that I subscribed to Audible for the first time and got it to be able to listen on the go, to listen when I am stuck and feel down and need to be motivated and inspired. I like how Carry keeps saying, I'm not better than anyone, if I did it you can do it too!

What other book might you compare She Means Business to, and why?

I read girlboss, I really loved it but She means business is completely different, it takes you to the entrepreneurial journey from the idea to the let's make it happen and be successful.

In this book, you will learn that it is ok to be scared, it is ok to feel overwhelm, two of the biggest obstacles that every entrepreneur faces, Carrie shows us how to fight these feelings.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I like the clear actions points and tips at the end of each chapter.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Great book, I couldn't put it down, easy read, great content, clear action points some top tips. I highly recommend this book for every women in business, a great tool if you want inspiration and motivation.

Any additional comments?

She means business, and thanks to the book, now I mean business!

Humble + very valuable advice

What I love about this book is that it isn't preaching or patronising (just finished listening to Girl Boss ~ which is slightly ott) . It's for real women. The advice is totally relatable and coherent.

Inspiring and informative

Carrie gives such practical, easy to follow advice for anyone who thinks they're meant to do bigger things but doesn't know where to start. I've been running my business for almost 2 years now and still took a ton away from reading this. would recommend to any female entrepreneurs or wannabe entrepreneurs to shift any doubts they might have.
