E-Book: You Don’t Need a Job, You Need Guts

Ashley AmbirgeI am so excited to share the love this morning for my friend Ashley Ambirge who launched her 127-page baby into the world. A ballsy, audacious, in-your-face, rock-star E-Book called You Don’t Need a Job, You Need Guts.

Note: I am an affiliate, but I would NEVER promote something I didn’t believe in 150% and think would be an awesome resource for all of you. I am very selective with what I share, and this made the cut without question.

As I mentioned in my December Hodge Podge, Ashley is one of the bloggers I most respect and admire. She lost BOTH of her parents and can only rely on herself for support. When I complain about being busy, I forget that there are amazing women like Ashley in the world for whom being busy is probably the very least of her concerns.

TMF E-BookAshley hails from Pennsylvania but currently lives in Santiago, Chile — following her dreams and working her ass off to make a living and inspiring countless others in the process.

Every time I read one of her posts, I want to stand up and start a slow clap. Then maybe throw a few fist-pumps, then raise a lemon-drop martini to toast Ashley in all her fabulous, brash, no-holds-barred glory.

I bought her e-book this morning within seconds of it landing in my inbox, and I’m already hooked.

A description (in Ash’s own words) for those of you who might be interested:

RED HOT, FIERY PASSION. SOUL SHAKINGLY GOOD WORK THAT MATTERS. POTENTIAL. POWER. PRESENCE. PIZAZZ. AND MONEY, BABY. MONEY.

You Don’t Need a Job, You Need Guts is a devilishly sassy digital publication that teaches how to stop surrendering your soul to the rat race and instead, create a meaningful, delightfully unapologetic career based around YOU + YOUR INTERESTS by leveraging the web + harnessing the magnetic power of authentic passion, guts & glory.

You demand more from life. You crave more than a fatally boring routine. You want to do work that feels good. You want to be you, exactly as you are. And, for once, have that be enough. Better yet, you want to get paid for it.

If this gets you as fired up as it did me, grab your own copy for $24.

    I need to check this book out — I normally am not much for non-fiction, but I’d try it if it was on this subject — this past year has been my first year out of college and the main thing has been SURVIVE and PAY BILLS and OCCASIONALLY TREAT SELF TO TACOS, so it’s been whatever job I can get.

    I know that I have to survive here in a well paying but soulless job for a while so I can prepare myself for a future AWESOME job that I love, so I might have to get this book to get some tips on how to make that sooner rather than later!

      Hey, Emmy!

      I’m that chick who wrote that book (love you, Jenny, for helping to spread the word), and let me tell you what–I’m ALL ABOUT TREATING ONES SELF TO TACOS. And martinis. And then usually another martini. ;)

      Best of luck as you forge your path!

        Aw, how sweet! Now I definitely want to check it out because you seem so nice and anyone who is a fan of tacos probably writes a good book. ;)

          As a matter of fact, I should probably stop eating so many tacos. Ha ha. Actually, here in Chile they eat a lot of hot dogs. With avocado on top. Fortunately, that doesn’t interest me much. :p Cheers!

            Ooooh! I want IN on this taco party!!! And I’ll bring cupcakes for dessert. Tacos + Cupcakes + Martinis. Keep it classy, you know?

            Emmy – making it through that first year out of school is definitely a roller-coaster. I think you’ll love Ashley’s book – and her blog if you haven’t already caught up on the archives :D

            Hope you both have a fabulous weekend!
