Boss Bitch: A Simple 12-Step Plan to Take Charge of Your Career

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!

Eat Green Make Green: How Adopting a Vegan Diet Took My Life & Career to the Next Level

In the summer of 2015, broke and defeated after two years of failing at my first startup, I moved out of my Boston apartment and back home to Mom and Dad’s. With the pressure of rent and food no longer plaguing me, I had time to reflect on the previous years from both a business and personal standpoint. Where did I go wrong? What could I have done better?

I decided to start reading and experimenting more with diet and exercise, maximizing productivity, improving my relationships, and bettering myself as a whole. I soon found out that one of those things (diet!) drastically impacted all the others.

Through trial and error, I learned that eating whole plant foods and avoiding meat, dairy, and processed foods had me feeling invincible. As I gradually made a transition to becoming vegan, my life started to change.

At the end of 2015, I sold the majority stake of my business to a venture capital firm in Singapore. I literally went from living and running my business in my parents’ basement to selling it to an entity on the other side of the world. What’s crazy is, I truly believe that adopting a whole food vegan diet was the catalyst for it all to happen.

Eat Green Make Green details entrepreneur Pat McAuley’s life-changing experience with food and why he credits plants for his success. Pat explores the many benefits he experienced by adopting a vegan lifestyle and why you should too!

Perpetual Motivation: How to Light Your Fire and Keep It Burning in Your Career and in Life

An experienced trainer demonstrates that the most important element of success is not putting in longer hours or expending more energy—it is keeping everything in balance. He outlines five key life components that must be brought into harmony and kept on track, or productivity will inevitably slow to a crawl; once this balance is acheived, less effort is needed to maintain stability and productivity increases. This principled yet practical motivational program is bolstered with anecdotes, research, and many years of personal observation and interaction with leaders and executives in training seminars and radio broadcasts. Individuals from all walks of life—sales representatives, managers, secretaries, educators, small-business owners, and stay-at-home parents—can make this program their own and increase effectiveness in every aspect of their lives.
