Kathleen's voice

It had pretty good and helpful content, but what made me hate half of the book was Kathleen's voice. I dreaded every part she narrated. Her annoying nasal voice and the way she spoke when reading, it was like she was reading to a toddler. Emily's voice was a treat; it was so pleasant. If it would've been only Emily narrating the book, it would've been perfect and I would've finished it way sooner. So I don't know if I'd recommend this audio book, but a physical version of the book I would.
I can't see myself listening to the podcast with Kathleen there.

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.

Great small business information!

Love it! Engaging and practical information! Useful for new nonprofit. Highly recommend for any home based business.

Very straightforward!

I really enjoyed the straightforward delivery and cut to the chase. A good shake and slap on the face of what I needed to hear to get my gear going.

Wasn’t expecting that.

Wow! What an experience!! I was not expecting to get so much useful information and totally real motivation. The authors are 100% genuine and have real life advice as well as business advice. So inspiring. A great read.

Amazing!

This is an amazing book for entrepreneurs! I love how she keeps it real and simple!

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!

Lots of great insight & positivity👍🏽Thanks

Loved the New Moon/Phases of the Moon planning idea. So many great thoughts & actions to partake in!

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.

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.
