This book was a quick and interesting read. I always like to read people's personal narratives and how they overcame challenges and achieved their goals despite roadblocks. This book was a great narrative where the author weaves in her life wisdom and lessons learned throughout.

This book was a quick and interesting read. I always like to read people's personal narratives and how they overcame challenges and achieved their goals despite roadblocks. This book was a great narrative where the author weaves in her life wisdom and lessons learned throughout. The admonitions to the reader to keep pursuing your dream are the most useful aspect of the book. Thanks for writing this! As someone who has had a few life challenges in pursuit of a PhD, I understand what it is to fight for one's dreams. I wouldn't have known about this book if it weren't for my learning about Dr. Bon Blossman and her work as an author from my previous viewings of Big Rich Texas! I hope you can write another inspirational/motivational book and/or video series! I think a motivational book would be popular.

I really enjoyed this and read it in a day. Dr Bon is motivational without being condescending.
She writes in a conversational manner that I think most people can relate to. She chronologically illustrates her life path, not so glorious at times but always honest. Throughout the book she is encouraging and supportive to the readers' hopes and dreams.
Reading this book, you get a good sense of what a good heart she has and her advice to teens comes off as I wish I knew then what I know now instead

Reading this book, you get a good sense of what a good heart she has and her advice to teens comes off as I wish I knew then what I know now instead of "do what I say not what I did".
I wish I had read this book when I was a teenager; this is a great book to empower all teen girls and women.
I hope Dr B's next book will cover where she gets her seemingly endless amounts of energy and how she manages to stay focused in her many pursuits.

Simplistic language so very easy to read but some truly inspirational messages from a wonderful lady's very varied background. Personally, I found it very inspirational and motivating and it has renewed my vigour to complete my second Masters level degree.
