I love this book as a mom entrepreneur it was the perfect mix of funny relatable and great tips. No matter what stage of your business there is something for everyone. My opinions are my own though I received a copy of this book through the publisher & netgalley.
Have a dream? Want to start a business or just build on what you have? Feel nervous, unsure and insecure? What you need is a little direction mixed with some tough love and that is just what Lindsay Teague Moreno does in her newest business book "Boss Up!"
Boss Up! is a little like sitting down with a good friend and asking her to "give it to you straight"...and she does. And then some. Lindsay lays it all out there about where she came from and where she is going- from her passion, ambitions, dreams, goals and the sacrifices she made because she knew what she wanted was possible. She never misleads you to think the life of an entrepreneur is easy - but she makes you believe it is possible. As a mom herself, she knows what it's like to push your dreams aside "for the family" AND she knows it does not have to be like that. She makes no apologies for working hard or being a working mom. (Because somewhere along the line, people made working moms feel like they HAD to apologize?!)
This book is not just a bunch of pep talks- it's tangible advice with real direction, action steps including a self-assessment and personal narratives on her own journey. It's encouraging, inspiring and motivational.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Lindsay for an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I received an Advanced Reader Copy of Lindsey Teague Moreno's book Boss Up! : This Ain’t Your Mama’s Business Book from NetGalley.
This book is meant for 'momtrepreneurs'' but can also be of assistance for anyone starting a small business. Lindsey shares from her experiences in her current home-based business, as well as previous businesses. She invites the reader to dig deep into what 'your thing' is and to start from there. Most importantly she advises you to be your authentic self, which I am in total agreement with. Who wants to see cookie-cutter when you're in business? She shares her success philosophy, tips for social media marketing and other pertinent topics for anyone who's their own boss.
Lindsey's voice in this book is like she's talking to a girlfriend at a local coffee shop. She is real, to the point and gives the information to you straightforward. This book was a quick, enjoyable read and I highlighted many nuggets of wisdom throughout the book. I wish I could share more about the book here, but since it hasn't been released yet I don't want to include any 'spoilers.' You won't be disappointed!!!
I REALLY love how this book provides almost a work book type of feel. Going through the chapters, then being able to take a step back and truly THINK about it and do the examples has really been a game changer. Little tip – keep your highlighter ready, Lindsay drops such amazing quotable moments!
Will be using this for an upcoming review. I enjoyed Lindsay's story, and it didn't come off like every other business book. It has actionable advise.
Best practical advice for women interested in starting their own business or growing a current business. Funny, no fluff, practical, real talk advice. Highly recommend!
I absolutely loved this book! I had never heard of it before this and now I would recommend it to everyone. It reminded me of Rachel Hollis's "Girl, Stop Apologizing". Very inspiring and I enjoyed learning about Lindsay's life.
Lindsay has an incredible capacity to lower her walls and let you into her most intimate moments as if you are living them yourself. Sprinkling her inner monologue throughout the chapters gave this entire book a unique and enjoyable vibe. We all have these little thoughts, it’s enticing to get a glimpse of Lindsay’s. Experiencing the path she had to navigate because of hard circumstances bolstered my understanding of her drive to succeed on a deeper level. I appreciate people’s motives and actions more when I know some of the reasons behind them. Knowing her background makes me even more motivated to use the tools she provides to learn about myself so I can advance my business to new heights. I appreciate that Lindsay walks you though the steps to build a strong foundation for your business plus gives examples helping you narrow ideas down. This is without a doubt worth the read!! I would recommend getting the actual book (pre-order for now) for reference back to the exercises provided and what thoughts you wrote down. I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned about myself and the detailed techniques to get the most out of myself and my business.
I was provided an advanced reader copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Can’t wait to get my hands on a printed copy once released.
I really enjoyed this book on business management from Lindsay Teague Moreno. I was not familiar with her businesses or other book, but I am glad I took a chance and read "Boss Up!" I work in the non profit sector and there was a lot of advice that I ended up highlighting for use in the way I handle projects, etc at work. I also found myself highlighting sections for my own personal use.
Moreno has a friendly, honest and funny way of speaking to her audience. While I am not a "mompreneur " ( as Teague lovingly calls her tribe), I felt included and encouraged by the steps that were practical and useful, thanks to Teague's sharing her missteps and victories in the book. Each chapter brings the reader back around to the reason they began their work/business and then gives the how to continue growth and expansion.
Teague is affable, vulnerable and at times, I found myself laughing out loud at her wit. She also is very much a truth teller, even when it hurts. There were hilarious stories of her parenting journey and how it applies to her business life, which I could relate to! There is a lot of sage business advice, amidst the laughter and the challenges of Lindsay's life, which means it can reach across age groups or stages of business growth.
This book is helpful for women who straddle the line between business and home, attempting to balance it all. The truth is, we are all learning and trying the best we can to make our businesses successful, and that requires a will to learn, opportunities for growth, and encouragement to persevere. You will find that in "Boss Up!" This is a real world, honest gut punch to those who think running and maintaining a healthy business is easy--it requires a great deal of commitment and grit to see a return on your investment.
While I wasn't specifically the target market for this book, I learned a lot and was excited to be a part of the launch team for this book, thanks to Thomas Nelson publishers. All opinions are my own and I chose to leave a review.
Lindsay Teague Moreno was wonderful!! With this book, she has a way with words that makes you want to get up in the morning and just dominate. Staying true to herself she gives hard truths that people need to hear if they are starting their own businesses. If you are looking to start or grow your business, her experience are a great jumping off point.
Side note: I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher through NetGalley.
4 chapters in and I am HOOKED! I am so happy to have gotten my hands on this advanced copy as part of the launch team, because oh my gosh, this book is FIRE!
First, like in every piece of content she puts out into the world, Lindsay gives us her. Authentic, flawed, funny, real, fabulous her. And I am loving it.
Second, she has so much experience and is willing to share it, just for the sake of empowering more women to reach for their dreams.
I've personally pre-ordered 2 copies of this book. The first I put through Amazon when I saw it was available for pre-order. Then I heard she was releasing a special edition for Barnes and Noble with bonus material I just know I need to get my hands on.
I'm taking pages of notes already and am so ecstatic to get the hard copy in my hands to reinforce everything I'm getting now--because i will be re-reading this gem!!!
Edit: I finished this book and I cannot wait to get the hard copy. Just like the first few chapters, the entire book is filled with Lindsay's style of funny authenticity coupled with her experiences with what has worked, what hasn't worked, and most importantly WHY. Why we should be listening to her. Why we should be paying attention.
Honestly, if you are looking to build any sort of business whatsoever, you need to add this book to your library. I have pages of notes in my permanent notebook that I plan to go back and reference time and again.
Lindsay Teague Moreno has done it again! With this book, she has reignited my entrepreneurial spark. Staying true to herself and to her brand, she gives practical, supportive advice AND cold, hard truths. If you are looking to start or grow your business, her insights and experience are a great jumping off point. You have the ability to build your business to be exactly what you want it to be.
Side note: As part of the launch team for LTM’s newest book, I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher through NetGalley.
I am absolutely in love with this book. I have not been able to put it down since I got an advanced reader copy through NetGalley.
Lindsay has the most natural way of reaching out to her audience in this book. Whether you are a mom, business person, both: aka momtrepeneur, or you are none of the above, you will find something that you can relate to in this book that will help open your heart and mind fo truly going after what you want in life and being able to embrace your true self doing so.
Lindsay is so witty and this book has the best combination of funny and hilarious moments, as well as serious and omg moments.
This is a must read and though I'm only halfway through this book, I have already seen amazing changes in myself utilizing her approach to walking you through being a bad ass momtrepeneur. I'll come back when I'm finished to write a full review upon completion. But do yourself a favor and grab this book now. You wont regret it.
Thank you to Netgalley and Lindsay for letting me read this book early! 💖
If you are starting a business, building a business or just wanted to grow your business this book gives real tangible advice and tips for doing just that. Lindsay’s voice is real and honest and relatable and turns the overwhelming tasks in a business into simple things we can all do now.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley.
I went into this book not knowing anything about the author's businesses, so id' recommend looking into that information before reading. It will definitely be helpful as you read this book.
If you have a business or plan on starting one, this book is for you. Purchase it, sit down and do all the questions/activities in this book. It will be helpful!
I wish i had found this book before I started my business. Still, I found some great information in this!
Note: I received this book complimentary from Thomas Nelson through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
When I read the description of Boss Up, I knew I had to read it. I have been questioning how I would be able to balance working full-time, motherhood, being a wife, and wanting to start my own blog. It had been weighing on my mind and a source of anxiety. Reading Boss Up made me feel extremely motivated. Lindsey doesn’t tell you to do it her way, which I loved, because everyone is different. She motivates you in other ways while also being so down to earth and realistic! I laughed, cried, and felt encouraged. This book is relatable and needed. I look forward to learning more from her.
I've been a stay at home mom for 17 years now. There have been several instances over the years where I have wanted to turn my interests and passions into a business. I haven't worked up the courage yet. This book was wholly inspirational. At times funny, this gives a realistic look into what it takes. It made me want to take my business degree and finally do something with it. Highly recommend this one!
This is a great read for wanna be mom-entrepreneurs and current mom bosses! I found her writing style very fun and entertaining. This was really informational too, with lots of practical tips on growing your business, big or small.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
We are still in the search of inspiring novels that have everyone grow more confidence and not be afraid to make some changes with their lives. Lindsey Teague Moreno does more than share inspirational stories from her life but gives the readers tools that will help them achieve their dream and grow more confidence in themselves. Even though this book is focused on the business aspect of change in becoming the boss, this book can also apply through daily life and in any situation where you need any tips and tricks for achieving your dream and living your best life.
We will consider adding this title to our Non-Fiction collection in our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
