New York Times bestselling author Nicole Lapin is back with a sassy and actionable guide empowering women to be the boss of their own lives and careers.
You don’t need dozens or hundreds of employees to be a boss, says financial expert and serial entrepreneur Nicole Lapin. Hell, you don’t even need one. You just need to be confident, savvy, and ready to get out there and make your success happen. You need to find your inner Boss Bitch — your most confident, savvy, ambitious self—and own it.
A Boss Bitch is the she-ro of her own story. She is someone who takes charge of herself and her future and embraces being a “boss” in all senses of the word: whether as the boss of her own life, a boss at work, or the literal boss of her own company (or all three). Whichever she chooses, being a Boss Bitch isn’t something to apologize for—it’s something to be proud of!
We all have what it takes to be a boss bitch, says Lapin. The problem is: we don’t learn how to do it in school. Even if we study business, we’re not getting enough real-deal business education. Until now. Here, Lapin draws on raw and often hilariously real stories from her own career and experiences starting businesses—the good, the bad, and the ugly—to show what it means to be a “boss” in twelve easy steps. In her refreshingly honest and relatable style, she first shows how to embrace the boss-of-you mentality by seizing the power that comes from believing in yourself and expanding your personal skillset. Then she offers candid no-nonsense advice on how to kill it as the boss at work whether you have a high-up role or not. And finally, for those who want to take the plunge as an entrepreneur, she lays out the nuts and bolts of how to be the boss of your own business—from raising money and getting it off the ground to hiring a kickass staff and dealing office drama to turning a profit.
Being a rock star in your career is something that should be worn as a badge of honor. Here Lapin shows how to crush it in our careers like like a Boss Bitch!
Being the boss of oneself This book consists of three sections in regards to becoming a “boss of one’s life,” at work, and also when starting one’s own business. The author has an interesting, non-formal way of dishing out business-related advice that is different from that of most business books, by instead talking to the reader like to a friend, with the occasional crass language (the title sets the tone). I think this style variation worked for this book, in terms of making the author’s voice more unique yet…
great tips and inspiration I love books that give me actionable ways to improve my career and life. This book is just that. BOSS – Bold, Obsessed, Self-aware, and Strong. The point of this book is to be a boss of yourself and your career, not necessarily a boss of other people, no matter what your profession is.
Great writing style; credible author; helpful content The author is very credible. She obviously has had great successses in her life and is not afraid to candidly share personal stories. I felt confidence in her advice, knowing it was delivered by someone who experienced it.
