Taking Charge of Your Career with Nicole Lapin

When you hear my unabashed enthusiasm and connection with today’s guest, Nicole Lapin, I think you will understand why we hit it off so quickly. Nicole, already an accomplished journalist by her thirtieth birthday, expanded her reach with the 2015 release of her New York Times bestseller, “Rich Bitch”. Yes, that’s the title. Before you start going nuts, CALM DOWN. Nicole’s premise is simple: she wanted to own that word and use it to entice those who might not necessarily pick up a personal finance book. Nicole’s latest book, which is laugh out loud funny, is called “Boss Bitch: A Simple 12-Step Plan to Take Charge of Your Career”. Despite the title of both of her books, they are not exclusively for women. Both are about taking charge, no matter who you are. Boss Bitch is about being a boss without having a business card or dozens of employees to prove it. Here are some topics that that Nicole explores: -Be the CEO of YOU by running your life like a business -Think like a boss by being entrepreneurial within an existing company -Getting, and crushing, your dream job -Be a hustler by exploring your passions and making extra money -The nuts and bolts of getting your OWN business off the ground Nicole’s steps jibe with one of the common themes of Better Off: Investing in YOURSELF, bettering yourself to become better off in life and in your career will pay more dividends than any investment! These are not unique concepts, but like diet and exercise, just a few small steps often lead to long-lasting improvements. I had so much fun with this interview that I can’t wait for Nicole’s next book! I suspect it will have a certain word in the title... “Better Off” is sponsored by Betterment. "Better Off" theme music is by Joel Goodman, www.joelgoodman.com. Please leave us a rating or review in iTunes!
