Recommendation

Do you end each day feeling utterly depleted? Are you eager to further your career but unsure how to advance without sacrificing your well-being? You’re not alone. Leadership coach Amy Kemp’s sharp insights and real-life examples illuminate why many working women feel exhausted and stuck. Kemp challenges readers to rethink how they approach their working lives and personal responsibilities. She provides strategies for shifting your mindset toward money and leadership, outsourcing unpaid labor, setting boundaries, and embracing structure in ways that fuel success.

Summary

Success results from a good strategy — not endless hard work.

Working harder and longer doesn’t equate to success. It only leads to burnout and frustration. Amy Kemp experienced this truth firsthand when a financial adviser pointed out that despite her dedication and accomplishments in direct sales, she wasn’t earning enough to meet her family’s long-term goals. Instead of doubling down on her workload, Kemp changed her mindset, identified limiting beliefs hindering her progress, and restructured how she worked.

Challenging the limiting belief that success results from endless effort allows women to take a more strategic approach to building their careers — one that generates greater fulfillment and financial sustainability. Reworking your mindset, rather than increasing your work hours or responsibilities, leads to greater income, influence, and work-life balance. Kemp transformed her financial situation by reassessing her priorities, setting boundaries, and charging appropriately for her expertise, and she has helped other women do the same.

Demand compensation that matches your value.

Society tends to discourage women from speaking out, taking up space...
