review 1: Great book with some great phrases and theories. Being a woman in business, many parts of it reflect my own experiences of juggling many balls in the air at once but being prepared to work many more hours than most to achieve success. Great book, anyone male or female wanting to run a business or is already doing so, should read this book. It really describes the hours, pressures and hard work that is involved, when so many people are of the opinion that having a business is easy. It most certainly is rewarding, but harder work than most people experience as employees. A great read, I'm passing it around my co-directors now to read too!
review 2: Cross posted from my blog, Lily ActuallyI really enjoyed this book - Karren is very down-to-earth all the way throug... moreh, and really doesn't take herself too seriously but without being self-deprecating. She's open about her mistakes and also about her successes, which I found very refreshing. I'm yet to read Lean In, but this feels less aggressive than I've heard that book is - anyone who has read them both is very welcome to correct me though!At the end of the book are a series of rules and thoughts which I'll probably come back to once I'm looking for/ working in a grad job. It's all about being realistic in working out what you want to do and then working your arse off to get there, as far as I can tell!I would definitely recommend this book to all women and girls with ambition, and any guys who want to learn what corporate life is like for women. It's not a gripping, unputdownable mystery novel, and it never would be, but it's something I think most of us ought to read at least a bit of! less
