A very easy read
This felt like a collection of articles from a glossy magazine.
It didn’t provide you with anything groundbreaking or revolutionary. Also it seemed to be targeted at creatives but it could apply to men and women in all walks of life.

Short & to the point!
I listened to this book in under 2 hours & made a whole page of notes which I will DEFINITELY put into practice. If you’re an ambitious woman, whether a freelancer or Working in corporate, this book is a must read. I read quite a lot of books for female entrepreneurs and this is the ONLY book that I have come across so far that has ZERO waffle!
Hats off to the Author!

Very inspiring little book
Generally nice and compact. If add a bit more content about proper or expected social behaviour will be more helpful.
