Extremely practical and insightful book. It's remarkable how the author has managed to pulled together so many elements that go into running a business, to make a coherent step by step guide to grow the business you want.
Highlights many pitfalls and doesn't shy away from topics such as burn-out, and contains many valuable lessons.
Have already found myself dipping back into it - there is a lot of ground covered and is certainly will be revisiting it again and again.

Karen has put together a great no-nonsense narrative examining the potentials and pitfalls of self-employment and the entrepreneurial dream. She advocates a change to the way we push ourselves (to exhaustion) to build a business we can be proud of and that sustains our life, family and fun times. At a time when technology is supposed to be helping us not hindering us, Karen shows us how to cut the madness, to lean back, face our inner fears and self-doubt, stop comparing ourselves to others, reground our true motivations and tune into our creativity and natural flow. It's all common sense we too easily forget in our busy day to days. The book provides the strategic guidance and practical exercises to navigating the business building process.
As a business owner who has been on a similar journey juggling life challenges, health challenges and business challenges, I wish I'd had this wisdom and practical guidance years ago instead of resolving it all alone. Karen describes her experience and feelings of exhaustion, indecision and hiding away through fear and doubt. She articulates the emotions so insightfully, she might just as well have been recounting my own story, it's spot on. The book helped me to see my journey is not untypical, that I'm on the right track and what I want is within reach. It's been a great reminder to get specific with my plans and to choose a business model that matches what I truly want in the longer term with what suits my preferred way of working with clients and energy flow.
