Ball Gowns to Yoga Pants: Entrepreneurial Secrets for Creating Your Dream Business and Brand by Shellie Hipsky
4.0
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do." -Steve Jobs, Cofounder, CEO, Chairman Apple Inc. (p. 18)
Dr. Shellie Hipsky is the author of Ball Gowns to Yoga Pants: Entrepreneurial Secrets for Creating Your Dream Business and Brand, a book on how to make your business dream a reality. Dr. Hipsky has written almost a dozen books and is currently the CEO of Inspiring Lives International. Once a Professor, Shellie made the decision, and began the hard work of creating her own business and realizing her dreams.
In Ball Gowns to Yoga Pants, Dr. Shellie gifts the reader with 10 Success Secrets. Eah chapter elaborates on a secret. This elaboration includes: anecdotes from Dr. Shellie's life, anecdotes from now successful entrepreneurs, as well as areas to reflect and take notes on your own business goals. The book is well organized and builds on the previous chapter. Dr. Shellie, who is a former tenured professor, also incorporates the teaching strategy of gradual release. This means that each chapter, Dr. Shellie puts more and more ownership on the reader, after explaining the steps needed to begin your business journey.
Now- I have no real interest in starting my own business in the near future. However, my husband and I regularly talk about opening our own board game store in our golden years. So this book is not currently relatable to me, I did find the information worth nothing and storing away for the future. Dr. Shellie is a proponent of the Law of Attraction. In short, the Law of Attraction "is the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life." She also encourages Vision Boards and other tangible representations of your goal. Though many may consider this a "new age" concept, Dr. Shellie also impresses the fact that hard work and perseverance is necessary to start your own business. She also is honest and states that you will flounder at one or more steps along your journey, but that you must keep your eyes on the prize.
I would recommend this book for those interested in starting their own business. It is a compact, informational, and practical guide to starting the journey of starting your own business.
Happy Reading!
