How to do the impossible, do it yourself, and do it now.
Tiffany Pham was born in France to Vietnamese parents. Moving to Texas without speaking a word of English, she founded her own company, Mogul, from her laptop, having taught herself how to code. ELLE UK has described Tiffany as 'one of 30 women under 30 who are changing the world'.
Mogul is an award-winning platform that enables women worldwide to connect, share information, and access knowledge from each other. In this book, Tiffany writes the new rules for following your passions and forging your own path.
Tiffany chronicles her path to becoming one of the most successful entrepreneurs of her generation, and offers punchy, accessible advice, highlighting that to be successful we have to pinpoint our passion, value our voice and remain true to ourselves, as well as being incredibly strategic.
With tips and wisdom from 12 key women ‘moguls’ (including Nina Garcia, Editor-in-Chief of Elle magazine and Dr Jen Welter, the first female NFL coach) You Are A Mogul is an indispensable roadmap to an empowering career that is demanding and challenging—but also exciting and full of opportunities if you know where to look.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Entrepreneur Pham delivers a slim, familiar guide to following one's dreams. As a child, Pham moved from Paris to Plano, Tex., with her family; she had to learn quickly how to be adaptable. Determined to succeed, she attended Yale and Harvard Business School and went on to found Mogul, a networking site for women. Aiming her advice at young women, Pham instructs her readers not to get discouraged by layoffs or other forms of rejection, but to follow their "big dreams" while retaining their "authentic selves." The goal she emphasizes is not acquiring wealth, but understanding and identifying a personal skillset and passion. The guide largely following stories from Pham's own life, such as her taking on the distribution of an indie film while still in business school is bolstered with stories from real-life "moguls," such as Elle magazine editor-in-chief Nina Garcia and Jen Welter, the first female NFL coach. While the advice is solid she urges readers to choose a supportive partner and seek out mentors and role models there's little new, and some "essentials" are unrealistic and unhealthy, such as her insistence on sleeping only four hours a night. Though well-intentioned, this book amounts to little more than brand extension.
