I don't know how she does it! is an oft-heard refrain about mothers today. Funnily enough, most moms agree they have no idea how they get it done, or whether they even want the job. Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile spoke to mothers of every stripe--working, stay-at-home, part-time--and found a surprisingly similar trend in their interviews. After enthusing about her lucky life for twenty minutes, a mother would then break down and admit that her child's first word was "Shrek." As one mom put it, "Am I happy? The word that describes me best is challenged." Fresh from the front lines of modern motherhood comes a book that uncovers the guilty secrets of moms today . . . in their own words. I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids diagnoses the craziness and offers real solutions, so that mothers can step out of the madness and learn to love motherhood as much as they love their kids.

The most powerful word in wealth building is choice. Too often, we limit our financial future based on conventional wisdom — on what we’ve heard from the media, or the tropes that we have trained ourselves to believe based on our situation or past. Financial freedom starts with understanding your personal financial drivers. It starts with taking control of your money and leveraging it to create your ideal future — not somebody else’s version of success. In her New York Times Bestseller, Wealthy by Design, Kimberly Foss offers the insight and tools you need to confidently design a sound investment plan that empowers you to make your own choices. By outlining the five, foundational principles of investing, Kimberly prepares readers to map their course with conviction and integrity. Drawing on her vast career of advising clients from all financial backgrounds, as well as her own rise from humble beginnings, Kimberly frames her advice around powerful and enlightening stories — and through them, you will learn how to leverage personality, situation and belief, while applying proven wealth-building strategies to fulfill your needs and dreams for the future. Discover financial empowerment and harness the power of choice, in five easy steps.

The Mom Test is a quick, practical guide that will save you time, money, and heartbreak. They say you shouldn't ask your mom whether your business is a good idea, because she loves you and will lie to you. This is technically true, but it misses the point. You shouldn't ask anyone if your business is a good idea. It's a bad question and everyone will lie to you at least a little . As a matter of fact, it's not their responsibility to tell you the truth. It's your responsibility to find it and it's worth doing right . Talking to customers is one of the foundational skills of both Customer Development and Lean Startup. We all know we're supposed to do it, but nobody seems willing to admit that it's easy to screw up and hard to do right. This book is going to show you how customer conversations go wrong and how you can do better.
