Our First Review

I'm going to have to ask you to forgive me some book news here. Technically all of this info should live over at the book website, but I have a feeling I won't be able to contain it all over there. We got our first review today from Publisher's Weekly and it's positive! Big huge sigh of relief. While I'm trying to brace myself for the inevitable negative review, I have to say it's nice to start on a positive note. You can read the full review here, but this is my favourite part:

The authors cover the fundamentals of crafting a mission statement, developing branding, handling finances and legal issues, hiring good employees and expanding your business with admirable clarity, bolstered by success stories, helpful exercises and sample budgets.

I know it's dorky, but given how much work went into editing that sucker, I'm kind of thrilled by the "admirable clarity" part. It makes all those rewrites feel a little more worth it. Oh and if you're keeping track, we've updated the name of the book's blog from Boss Lady to LaurenandEmira.com. Since the book didn't end up being called Boss Lady we didn't want to confuse things. Besides, this way it's about building the Lauren and Emira empire, which was always the plan anyway.
