Girl Code: Unlocking the Secrets to Success, Sanity, and Happiness for the Female Entrepreneur

Women around the world have responded to Cara Alwill Leybas Girl Code with a resounding YES. Companies like Kate Spade and Macys have brought her in to teach the Code. Inc. magazine named Girl Code one of the Top 9 Inspiring Books Every Female Entrepreneur Should Read alongside Lean In, #Girlboss, and Thrive. A few years ago, I made a crazy claim in the first edition of Girl Code: that in todays competitive marketplace, the fiercest thing a female entrepreneur can do is to support other women. Something dynamic happens when women genuinely show up for each other. When we lose the facades, cut the bullsh*t, and truly have each others backs. When we stop pretending everything is perfect, and show the messy, beautiful parts of ourselves and our workwhich all look awfully similar. When we talk about our fears, our missteps, and our breakdowns. And most importantly, when we share our celebrations, our breakthroughs, and our solutions. Im convinced that theres no reason to hoard information, connections, or insight. Wisdom is meant to be shared, so lets start sharing what weve learned to make each other better. Lets start building each other up. Lets live up to our potential and start ruling the world. Girl Code is a roadmap for female entrepreneurs, professional women, side hustlers (those with a day job plus a part-time small business), and anyone in between. This book wont teach you how to build a multimillion-dollar company. It wont teach you about systems or finance. But it will teach you how to build confidence in yourself, reconnect with your why, eradicate jealousy, and ultimately learn the power of connection. Because at the end of the day, thats what life and business are all about.
