Awesome

I’ve read the book but I wanted to have the audio book running in the background whilst I “do the work” it’s inspirational, visionary and just generally brilliant! Love these girls!

Just buy it

These gals have a knack of speaking to such a wide audience of creatives yet somehow relating to you on a personal level at every point. Devoured on a 6 hour drive and loved every minute. Thank you Kathleen & Emily!

Best Decision.

I chose this as my free book from Audible and I think it is going to be the smartest decision I have made in a while. They give you tips And some great practical advice. I felt before the end of the first chapter these bosses knew exactly what was going on in my head and they were speaking directly to me.

Real information for real life and business

This book really is full of very useful, applicable information for anyone who runs their own business or wishes to do so. I have been an independent artist for soon to be 20 years and I am SO JEALOUS of anyone starting their business now at this moment: they can implement all these principles from the start and save themselves so much trouble and stress❤️

I'm happy for them

I love the podcast and was in two minds about getting the book. The content is well structured and I like that they narrated it as that felt familiar. I definitely think I would have preferred this as a physical book as it does contain some practical tips that I'd like to circle back too but it's lost in the audio. I don't know that there's anything groundbreaking it new in the book or that it's remarkably different from the podcast except that we get more of a glimpse of them as individuals which is a nice change.

Being Boss, the title says it all!

Great book ladies, thank you for sharing your advice and tips and I love that you went into detail about partnerships and collaborations. I’ve taken away some great tips especially about aligning my values with my boundaries. The practical tips that you’ve offered are of great value to the average mumpreneur like me who is looking for guidance in what can be an overwhelming industry at times.
