In #GIRLBOSS vertelt Sophia Amoruso het verhaal van haar ongelooflijke succes. Ze laat zien hoe iedereen succesvol kan worden, als je op jezelf vertrouwt en je instinct volgt.
Sophia Amoruso is de oprichter en CEO van kledingbedrijf Nasty Gal, een organisatie met een omzet van meer dan 100 miljoen dollar en meer dan 350 mensen in dienst. Maar het eerste wat ze ooit online verkocht was geen kledingstuk – het was een boek dat ze ergens gestolen had. Tot haar tweeëntwintigste had ze allerlei verschillende baantjes en geen enkel idee wat ze wilde doen met haar leven. Toen besloot ze eens te proberen wat vintage kleding te verkopen op eBay. De rest is geschiedenis
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this appealing business memoir, Nasty Gal founder and CEO Amoruso shares her rags-to-riches story. Having eschewed college, Amoruso moves home, opens an eBay store for vintage clothing, and, after a lot of hard work and many a "Venti Soy No Water No Foam Chai," finds herself the CEO of a $100 million fashion business called Nasty Gal Vintage. Amoroso's tone and language may give this book a youthful audience, and kudos to that: few business books keep the teen set riveted while simultaneously inspiring fiscal responsibility and good business sense. It doesn't hurt that the author has a rebellious streak. A chapter titled "Shoplifting (and Hitchhiking) Saved My Life" turns into a valuable lesson in how to turn one's life around: "I had always wanted to do something awesome, and instead I was just racking up a soap opera's worth of skanky experiences." When Amoruso reminds her reader to pay off her bills and not spend beyond her means, she gives the message a powerful spin, based on her experience of missing a credit card payment at age 19: "I built the company with no debt by choice no one would even give me a credit card, never mind a business loan." Amoruso's authenticity comes through here and is, no doubt, one of the many reasons for her remarkable success. lllus.
