From eBay to own brand – #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso

Sophia Amoruso is a very interesting and inspiring millennial. Why? She is the founder of one of the fastest-growing retailers in the world, Nasty Gal and has written #Girlboss, a book about her and the brand’s story. She started her business with selling vintage clothes and accessories on eBay, nowadays she is the leader of worldwide recognised brand and business.
#Girlboss is not a usual self-help personal development book; it is more like a good peptalk given by a person who turned her hobby into a successful company and shares her real life experiences through the pages.

“A #GIRLBOSS is someone who’s in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it. As a #GIRLBOSS, you take control and accept responsibility.” – says Amoruso at the beginning of a first chapter.
This book is better as a story than as a business guide – which is probably why Netflix is turning it into a series.

#Girlboss is a mixture of a memoir, a manifesto and a business book. It won’t tell the reader how to achieve success but it can give some ideas and it’s definitely a good reading experience. Amoruso’s book can inspire young people who are thinking of setting up a business.
The book is available on amazon.co.uk and amazon.com.
