Girl, Stop Apologizing: Excuse 1

A Chapter by Chapter Review of Girl, Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis

The subtitle of Girl, Stop Apologizing is “A Shame-Free Plan For Embracing and Achieving Your Goals,” so I approached the book as encouragement for entrepreneurs. It is for women who want to start businesses and make money. The first excuse Hollis tackles is the one used by women who haven’t become entrepreneurs because “that’s not what other women do.”

The main focus of this chapter is criticism on a Facebook post from a few years ago (July 24, 2015). In the comments section, Hollis reveals that she has a nanny to help her with the kids. Her followers have some thoughts on that. I address this in The Ugly section.

The Good:

“In the absence of experience or knowledge, determination makes the difference between where you are and where you want to be!” (7)

“An excessive imagination plus a lifelong desire to prove my worth through achievement means I’m always aiming for the sun. You know that expression “Go big or go home”? I never go home. (8)
