REVIEW: Boss B!$%*:A Simple 12-Step Plan to Take Charge of Your Career by Nicole Lapin
My interest was piqued when I was sent this book for review, because
I always like to hear the inspiring stories of powerful women like Nicole Lapin,
a successful and profitable television anchor and author. So, I decided to keep
an open mind despite a curse word being in the book title.
Because, as Lapin describes, being a Boss B!$% isn’t a bad thing, but a
very good thing. She says it is kinds of like being
Glenda the Good Witch, not the Wicked Witch of the West. Basically, being a
woman in control. A woman who is the hero of her own story. A woman who doesn’t
need saving because she has her stuff together. A woman who takes ownership of
her life, and is confident in her power to create successful life on her terms.
Being a Boss B!$% is being a woman
that owns being a woman and is comfortable in her own skin.
But, more than anything, Lapin says, being a Boss B!$% is a state of mind more than a title or
anything else. It doesn't matter where you work, if you work for someone else,
or if you don’t work at all. Being a Boss
B!$% all about how you feel and carry your
self. You can either let the days run you or you run the day. And a Boss B!$% runs
everything!
This is not a wimpy book or a light read, it is hefty at more
than 370 pages, and is broken down into 3 big Sections: Being the boss of you,
Being the boss at work, and Being the boss of your own business. It even
includes a dictionary of business terms (terms that you don't need a dictionary
to understand). So, if you can get around the cuss words in this book (the
author at the very beginning of the book at least admits that she does cuss a
lot), the author has a lot of wisdom and knowledge to share.
*I received this book for
free from Blogging for Books for this unbiased review.
