Boss Up! will help you put your business on the map and the ideas you’ve previously only dreamed about into the marketplace. It will help you overcome your fears and guilt to find a fulfillment that changes you and your families for the better. And it will help you break free of the hard and boring and allow you to have fun along the way. In Boss Up! Lindsay helps you gain the confidence to know … confidence to know that having ambition doesn’t make you a bad mother or wife. That it’s okay to have a desire for something more than endless sippy cups, clean-ups, Band-Aids, and groundings. That no matter your education or experience, you can tap into your passions and create businesses that give you increased flexibility, fulfillment, and financial security.
And Lindsay doesn’t just do this through commiserating but, instead, through giving you the tools for change. Using the lessons she learned on her own path to success, Lindsay shares real, solid business principles with ten distinct success philosophies that you will encounter on the journey to entrepreneurship, such as:
- Think Long Term
- Be Unapologetically Yourself
- Use the Unsales Tactic
- Understand Your Why
- and many more

Boss Up Ain’t Your Momma’s Business Book

While this book may not be perfect and there is much information in it that you can find elsewhere, it is presented in a fresh and entertaining fashion. The target audience may be moms who feel they want to do more with their lives or know they need to prepare for the day (it will come) when the kids no longer need 24/7 supervision or leave the home nest. This book also has value to the non-parental humans dreaming of starting a business or working online, including those who can still be considered a younger generation. The examples and references are current and authentic.
Lindsay relates her own experiences and opinions without making this an About Me (or) Do It My Way memoir type instruction manual. She acknowledges that it takes dedication and WORK to achieve your dreams. Standing out from the crowd will never be easy. But it is doable. Mentors, even if you never meet them, are available and invaluable. She gives practical and achievable steps to moving forward and maintaining your motivation. You can feel her energy across the pages.
I still struggle to find my own sweet spot, where my passions and interests and talent intersect, but she gives me hope that if I continue to dig, I will be prepared whenever I discover my niche.
I was happy to request this book via Netgalley to review.
Overall, I did like this book. I did feel like she got off-topic which is why I could only give this 4 stars. She definitely has many practical suggestions and multiple forms that could help provide focus and direction for any business. Her stories do add interest to the book for the most part. Thomas Nelson is typically a Christian publisher, but the book is not really filled with biblical principles. But she uses practical positive principles. This is not a book about getting ahead of others. Instead she emphasizes doing your best work for yourself and your customers. Thank you to #netgalley and Thomas Nelson for allowing me to review this book.
Boss Up! is the most entertaining self-help book I’ve read! Lindsay holds nothing back and I enjoyed how blatantly honest she is throughout the book. She offers great business advice that can just as well be applied to those looking to make a difference in their personal life as well.
I really enjoyed this book on business management from Lindsay Teague Moreno. I was not familiar with her businesses or other book, but I am glad I took a chance and read “Boss Up!” I work in the non profit sector and there was a lot of advice that I ended up highlighting for use in the way I handle projects, etc at work. I also found myself highlighting sections for my own personal use.
Moreno has a friendly, honest and funny way of speaking to her audience. While I am not a “mompreneur ” ( as Teague lovingly calls her tribe), I felt included and encouraged by the steps that were practical and useful, thanks to Teague’s sharing her missteps and victories in the book. Each chapter brings the reader back around to the reason they began their work/business and then gives the how to continue growth and expansion.
Teague is affable, vulnerable and at times, I found myself laughing out loud at her wit. She also is very much a truth teller, even when it hurts. There were hilarious stories of her parenting journey and how it applies to her business life, which I could relate to! There is a lot of sage business advice, amidst the laughter and the challenges of Lindsay’s life, which means it can reach across age groups or stages of business growth.
This book is helpful for women who straddle the line between business and home, attempting to balance it all. The truth is, we are all learning and trying the best we can to make our businesses successful, and that requires a will to learn, opportunities for growth, and encouragement to persevere. You will find that in “Boss Up!” This is a real world, honest gut punch to those who think running and maintaining a healthy business is easy–it requires a great deal of commitment and grit to see a return on your investment.
While I wasn’t specifically the target market for this book, I learned a lot and was excited to be a part of the launch team for this book, thanks to Thomas Nelson publishers. All opinions are my own and I chose to leave a review.
