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 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

She has a deep passion for helping women of all walks of life gain the confidence and skills to tap into their ambition and achieve success in their own business endeavors.
Boss Up Ain’t Your Momma’s Business Book
I first heard of this book in a Young Living Facebook group that I am in. And before you ask yes, I have fallen in the Young Living rabbit hole. I am OBSESSED. Then I heard that Line at the tippy top of the line that I am in. It seemed that the whole wide world was rushing to get a copy. I had some Audible credits left, and I don’t trust Amazon to keep them for a year so I was looking for a book that sounds like I would be interested in am as all the people that knows me in real life know I am a women obsessed with all things Young Living SO I used an Audible credit to pre-order this and when it downloaded onto my phone I dropped everything to listen.
While I half-assed my Young Living sales thingie, seriously I think I have only sold three kits to family members and I do have a Ghostwriting business, and I love business advice, and I felt that some of the information could pertain to me.
When I started listening to she began to talk about being a mom, I almost put it down and was ready to get my credit back. I hate to DNF, and I feel like I owe it to the author to give the book a chance, so I told my self that I would give it an hour… She thankfully went on the business advice part after informing us all that her kiddies was not her sole reason for living.
I found this full of advice. And no you don’t have to be a network marketer to benefit she had I think seven success principles and that advice was priceless. For example, she explains all about how to tell a story to captivate a potential customer. I knew that before but Lindsaytells in such a way that it was captivating. Lindsay also goes into depth on each success principal. The part that I like most is that she explains the success of principals in such a way that is accessible. Most business books that I have read were loaded down with jargon that required where a friend sends us a million an advanced degree to comprehend and implement. It stills makes me mad when I hear a person spouting off a way to do things that only apply to people high up on the corporate ladder. I mean I know that network marketing is not the most relevant job out there, but that doesn’t mean that the productivity giants has to come up with ways of doing something that looks a whole group out.
I also loved it when she pointed out that the people who post pictures of their product and especially the Network marketing people need to cut it out as they are doing nothing but annoying people. I am sure we have all have had that experience where a friend on facebook sends u a million message a day telling how great the company is and asking if you too would like to join them on a “team”. And what really gets my bipolar rage going is when they won’t take no for an answer. And Lindsay Teague Moreno is bold enough to call people out for this. I am almost afraid to go on facebook for fear that I will be accosted bt yet another person wanting to sell me shit. If it were just one friend and one network marketing thingie, then I would buy something and keep my mouth shut. Maybe…Probably. As it is, I feel as if 99 percent of Deaf people I know are hawking products. There is Young Living, LulaRoe, Mary Kay, Beachbody and damn sure I am missing a few. I wish I had loads of money to throw around, but I don’t, and it gets to be exhausting trying to tell people that no I am not going to but your whole LuLu Roe again this month. Esp since I have 50 pairs of them ALREADY.
I have to be honest with you for a minute. At one point, I almost DNF the audiobook because she was going n and on about how she was not fulfilled being a stay at home mom. Thank God the book changed around the chapter. That was when Lisnsdey started to give advice that all Small Bussiness owner could use. I even took notes so that I could put it into my “second brain” ( Second Brain is a concept that I learned about from a woman in the new Mastermind that I am in. I have found my people) and get this after those first three chapters Linsedy stays on topic with how to be successful with business and she never (at least for this book) goes by to complain about her kids.
