Think about this: you’re in a room surrounded by all the things you like. You are doing the business that you love; you’re making a lot of money, wearing good clothes, living in a beautiful house, and driving your dream car. Does this sound like your life right now? No?

But it is possible to be that woman you just envisioned. It only takes time and determination to succeed.

It took Sophia Amoruso eight years to go from a broke anarchist to a millionaire businesswoman who shares her life lessons with people all over the world.

In a world filled with so many opportunities, there are quite a number of ways you can choose to make money — once you let go of fear, laziness, or whatever is holding you back from putting in the work.
Don’t ever grow up. Don’t become a bore. Don’t ever let the man get to you. ~ Sophia Amoruso
This summary will teach you how to learn from yours and other people's mistakes. It will teach you when to quit, when to ask for more, and when to ask questions.

Soon, you'll realize that nothing is as it seems and learn to not take anything at face value.
Being a #GIRLBOSS is possible, but it comes with a lot of learning and unlearning.
Your strength lies in your knowledge, and so does everything else.

Keep reading to find out how Sophia Amoruso turned her life around for the better, and how you can do the same and even more for yourself.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
