I know that in this generation, it’s quite difficult to embrace your uniqueness because no one wants to be the odd one out especially with all we see on social media but tell me where being someone else has ever paid off and I’d eat my words back. The earlier you realize and embrace your uniqueness the better for you. You must be ready to question everything that you see, hear or read, abandon anything (this includes habits) and anyone about your life that might be holding you back from being who you want to be and learn to create your own opportunities because the truth is, sometimes opportunities don’t come knocking at your door. You must be ready to be a fighter at all times and by being a fighter I mean, consistently fight for what you believe in without feeling bad about it. If you want to be a boss or excel at whatever you do then you must be ready to take control of your life and accept full responsibility of all your actions and inactions even the ones that you are not proud of. You own your life and you determine what happens in your life. This for me is one of the profound lessons from this book. Please note that these are not the only lessons from the book but these are the ones that got to me personally. Without wasting more word counts, I bring to you 8 incredible lessons I got from this book. The twist to her story is the fact that she achieved all these without a college degree. Most importantly for me, I see this book as a guide to becoming a boss from a woman’s perspective that is equally relevant in the man’s world. This book is also to encourage us to ask more questions and to know when to either follow the rules or re-write them. The main reason why she shared the story is to help us see how we can learn from other peoples story and also make us know that QUITTING is NEVER an OPTION. In this book, she takes us on the road she had to take to become the #GirlBoss that she is today.
