Exuding honesty and energy, Lisa blends these wonderfully insightful stories with important business lessons she has learned along the way, such as how she empowered herself in ways that helped her harness her creativity, disrupt the system, and be fearless in all of her endeavors. Inspiring as well as instructive, Messenger’s book offers up other big-think insights such as:
-Invest in yourself
-Know your “why”
-Realize that failure is another word for experience
-Break free of the traditional thinking around what a career should look like

Raves and Reviews
Full of stirring wisdom that's particuarly relevant to entrepreneurs but also to anyone chasing success
– Publisher's Weekly
A fast read—and an inspirational one: Australian serial entrepreneur and author (Happiness Is, 2009) Messenger tells it like it is, offering a path to success that involves not only hard work but also guts and no small amount of determination. And she inspires by simply telling her own story, following a bare-bones outline of 10 actions. From “believe in yourself” (sound familiar?) to “do good,” Messenger peppers every overpromoted cliché with real stories. Like the time she dreamed about starting a publishing empire while atop a Marrakesh roof. Or how she overcame the fear of public speaking. Even her brand tips—connections are king; secure all your names as fast as you can—have relevance in today’s insanely busy work world. And it all ends with this: “Make money so you can make a difference.” Simple advice, well-put.
