Since I’ve written The Bombshell Business Woman, I’ve been asked the same type of questions frequently, so here is a Frequently Asked Questions post to fill you in on some more of the deets!
The Bombshell Business Woman Frequently Asked Questions
What is The Bombshell Business Woman about?
The Bombshell Business Woman: How to Become a Bold, Brave, Female Entrepreneur, is part my personal story and mostly actionable business advice.
The first few chapters of this book tell my story of going from a teen mom to a successful business woman. I tell the painful details of telling my parents I was pregnant at sixteen, the horrific details of my birth experience, and even speak to the darker days where hope seemed so far off from my reality. I start the book this way to eliminate any excuses readers may have as they are on their own entrepreneurial journey. I guess I felt like I could share my story to say, “If I can do it, you can do it.”
Then, I make a point of saying that the story is over, so it’s time to buckle up and get some work done. From that point on I dive deep into best practices, real life examples, and instructions on how to implement my teachings into the reader’s business.
What is a Bombshell?
A Bombshell, according to my definition, is a bold, brave, female entrepreneur. (Or really, a bold, brave, female professional if I can broaden my own definition!)
When you think about the term bombshell, you might think of a gorgeous woman who enters a room and instantly commands attention from everyone around her. But is this because she is strikingly beautiful? Or is it because she is overtly confident in herself, walking in with a refreshing, attention-getting boldness?
I say the latter.
Want to know why? You’ve got to read the book!
Who was The Bombshell Business Woman written for?
The Bombshell Business Woman was written specifically for female entrepreneurs who don’t want a lot of fluff to wade through, but do want detailed, to-the-point to-dos they can follow to improve their businesses and their lives.
That being said, many of the principles in the book can be applied in a corporate environment, as hiring, customer service, personal branding, working with creative vendors, and more are very much concepts that are relevant in all business leadership. Likewise, men could greatly benefit from the book if they can look past the glam, lipstick, and botox references!
What topics does the book cover specifically?
- How to embrace and exude confidence
- How to figure out what you were meant to do for a living
- How to create your business model
- Essential business principles to stay focused
- Establishing your company culture and why it matters

I haven’t started my business, yet. Will The Bombshell Business Woman still help me?
Yes! Lucky you! You will have all of the foundational instruction you will need to march your way into becoming a lady boss! You could use this book as your guide to preparing for your business launch, and then use it as a reference as you continue to grow.
I’ve been in business for several years. Will The Bombshell Business Woman still help me?
For sure! I wrote The Bombshell Business Woman after working with countless well-established, female-owned businesses. The common problems I saw, the steps that were routinely skipped, inspired the content of this book.
Actually, some of the principles I teach in this book are the same topics I cover with my Fortune 500 and even Fortune 100 clients. So whether you need to get brilliant with the basics or you need to deep dive into a new way of going about your business, this is a go-to resource for the challenges you face in your day-to-day operations!
Is The Bombshell Business Woman a Christian Book?
No, it is not a Christian book written specifically for Christians. It is a business book written for women in business. I talk about God as it relates to my personal story and life philosophy in the autobiographical section. However, once you get into the nuts and bolts of the business teachings, you will not see anything like, “So God doth command you to market your business for thine glory.”
Because that just doesn’t make sense.
Make no mistake, I am a proud Christian, meaning I live according to Matthew 22:37-40, which basically says to love God and love each other, and all of the other rules come after that. And love, according to Corinthians 13 , is patient, kind, it does not envy or boast, it is not proud, it does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered and it keeps no record of wrongs. It rejoices in the truth and protects, trusts, hopes and preserves because love never fails. (NIV paraphrased)
It’s just my job to love you, and I hope my life has shown that my personal faith walk is more about love and grace and less about judgement or condemnation. We are all made in God’s image. ALL of us. I enjoy and embrace the many walks of life represented among my Bombshells, and I learn so much through looking at life through various lenses. When I become perfect and all-knowing, maybe I’ll get all high and mighty, but even then…probably not. 😉
