My only complaint with Lindsays book is that I didnt have it when I started my business seven years ago. Lindsay has the sharp mind of a woman who means business but the heart and humor of a friend you want to talk to for hours. As an entrepreneur who doesnt have kids, I do want them in my future, and reading Boss Up! left me optimistic, not with it being just an option but a wonderful option for me.
