The Anti-Hustle Guide to Grow Your Business and Nourish Your Life by Jadah Sellner — Lionesses of Africa

Book Review

In her new book, She Builds: The Anti-Hustle Guide to Grow Your Business and Nourish Your Life, best-selling author and business coach, Jadah Sellner, creates a new entrepreneurial model for women. The model is centered around sustainable leadership – a practical framework women entrepreneurs can use to create a business on their own terms, prioritize their well-being, and break free from the toxic culture that leads to burnout and overwhelm.

As an entrepreneur, Jadah Sellner, the best-selling business coach and author of She Builds: The Anti-Hustle Guide to Grow Your Business and Nourish Your Life, knows what it’s like to be burned out, in debt, and just barely holding on to a new business. In the process of launching and building multiple companies, she realized today’s aggressive 24/7 hustle culture wasn’t working for her because of one simple reason: It was built by men for men. Jadah recognizes that women are spread too thin as they struggle to keep up with the demands of their lives. Determined to find a better way, Jadah created a new model that is not only more inclusive for women but healthier. To build businesses that last, she argues, we need to lead with love in life and business, which starts with ourselves and moves outwards to our families, our teams, our communities, and the customers we serve with clarity and purpose. Her new book, She Builds, introduces her new framework, which rests on the four essential principles of L.O.V.E. – Lead, Optimize, Visualize, Expand.

In She Builds, Jadah Sellner reminds us that there’s a whole woman behind a business and we need to acknowledge, support, and nourish all of her to form a truly solid foundation. Filled with inspiring personal stories, case studies, interactive exercises, and practical advice, She Builds will help women build their businesses in a way that works for them – with love.
