Interesting how she pushed hard her book GirlBoss while her business was alreafy floundering. And now it's filing for bankrutcy. Can you trust any of the advice from her book?

If anything, she knew her business was in trouble so she hatched a backup plan: turn herself into an authority on how to be a successful businesseswoman while Nasty Gal still existed.




>Can you trust any of the advice from her book?

This is pretty much the norm for business books. This time it just isn't backed by survivorship bias.


Of course you can. She built a business from scratch to $100mm revenue and interesting enough for VC's to invest $65mm in. I'd love to be as succesful as that.
