There are times when i feel like i’ve read all of the self help / motivational books on the (saturated) market and times when i wish there was a Career / Business ’self help’ book that could speak to us as women more directly.
For me ‘Put Your Dreams First’ is that book.
Written by author Thembisa Mshaka & with a Foreword by Ugly Betty star ‘Vanessa Williams’, Put Your Dreams First: handle your [entertainment] business – Industry secrets for your success attempts and succeeds at doing exactly what it says.
There is a reason why ‘entertainment’ is in brackets, there is a focus on the entertainment business but the experiences and tips that are shared throughout the book can be applied to other fields and your personal life ( a great chapter on the all important subject of Work /Life balance).
If you are outside of the US, this book is still for you , what captured me initially was the ‘Going Global’ Chapter. Reading the Les Nubians account about their experience in the music industry in France made me realise that for the most part our struggles and our triumphs are similar around the globe.
What Will I Get From This Book?
From this book you will be given an insight into the entertainment world by a women who has most likely worked with your favourite entertainer. If the entertainment business is where you are (or want to be) you will be informed and for everyone else you will be inspired to ‘act’ and Put Your Dreams First.
Already dubbed by readers and industry peeps as “Mentorship In a Bottle”, it really is a must have read for women wanted success and knowing how to get it the right way.
