You’re right! This one really kept you interested, and it wasn’t dry at all. Thanks for your kind comments!daniya__shah3 wrote: ↑15 Jun 2018, 13:54 Books about sassy, confident and bad-ass women always make me want to read all from the genre. Plus, this one sounds a lot different than others. Might give this one a try. Amazing review, loved your perspective!

Yes you are right, this is actually USA-specific when it comes to the issue of taxes. She did include that detail about the time period for tax submission, as well as to tell the reader the name of various forms one would have to fill if one decided to implement certain measures in one’s company. There is also a section dedicated to tax planning, actually! Thanks for your kind comments!Kat Berg wrote: ↑15 Jun 2018, 14:46Statistically speaking, things like salary negotiation are what women are notoriously bad at. Very often it doesn't even occur to them to ask for a different number than what is offered, so I am quite glad that she addresses that. I also appreciate she addresses tax concerns, although that may be USA specific (although I am making an assumption here). I believe that is the thing least planned for when starting a business. Very few people know, for instance, that taxes must be filed a month earlier than personal taxes. And that is just one detail. Thanks for the review.gen_g wrote: ↑15 Jun 2018, 09:16You’re welcome! I enjoyed reading this one very much, and it discusses issues we could all learn, from salary negotiation techniques to dealing with office politics. Thanks for your kind comments.kandscreeley wrote: ↑15 Jun 2018, 07:35 The book sounds great, and the author sounds even better. I'd love to be able to take this information and start my own business. I'm just really unsure that I would be able to actually succeed at it. Nonetheless, this sounds like it's chock full of information. Thanks so much for introducing this one to us.

Thank you for your kind comments! It was indeed easy to follow, and I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did!Lunastella wrote: ↑15 Jun 2018, 18:04 I´m always a little distrustful of this "easy steps" guides that seem to promise too much, but your review totally convinced me to pick this one up. The author seems honest and it´s a topic I´m interested in. I like the "no-nonsense" and sassy approach that you describe the author has.
Thanks for your review!

Sounds interesting. I'll read this book in order to know more.

Thanks Helen, for the kind comments. Your boss sounds exactly like the person Lapin wants us to be. Lapin actually redefines the meaning of Boss Bitch in her introduction:Helen_Combe wrote: ↑16 Jun 2018, 02:52 Great review. I would have been put off by the ’bitch’ part of the title as the most effective boss I ever had was a woman for whom we would do anything because we adored her. However, your review has piqued my interest.
With this paragraph, I totally fell in love with her book, since I think it's important for us women to start taking charge of our own autonomy and stop letting the word "bitch" bring us down.I’ve been called both a boss and a bitch (and variations of those words) throughout my career in a derogatory way. But I never understood how my ambitions deserved even the slightest insult. I mean, if killing it at work means I’m a bitch, then great, I’m a bitch and I’m owning it! If being on top of my business means I’m bossy, then great, I’ll own that, too. Being a badass in your career is something that should be praised, not put down. So I’m taking back any dumb, offensive, or negative connotations those words have had in the past and, instead, using them in a positive way.
