What Customer Say About Us
Readers share how Collett Thorpe’s books gave them confidence to start businesses, validated their struggles with chronic illness, and reminded them that courage, resilience, and honest storytelling can change lives and inspire hope.
I've read so many business
books written by people with MBAs and startup money. This is the first one that felt like it was written for me. I'm a working mom with a high school diploma and an idea. Collett's story gave me the confidence to actually start instead of just dreaming. Would defo recommend.
The honesty in this book is
refreshing. Collett talks about the mistakes, the failures, the times she wanted to quit. Most business books only show you the success part. This one shows you the fundamental middle part where you're figuring everything out and wondering if you're crazy.
My wife has Lupus and
I bought this book to better understand what she goes through. Collett's honesty about the daily reality opened my eyes to things my wife probably didn't want to burden me with. Every family member of someone with chronic illness should read this.
I bought this because I've been
thinking about starting a daycare for years but kept talking myself out of it. I don't have a business degree. I don't have tons of money saved. I kept thinking I wasn't qualified. Collett's story showed me that being qualified isn't about credentials, it's about being willing to learn and stubborn enough to stick with it.
I was diagnosed with Lupus
eight months ago and I've felt so alone. My family tries to understand but they can't really get it. Reading Collett's story made me cry because she put words to exactly what I'm experiencing. The invisible pain, the frustration when people say you look fine, the guilt about canceling plans, all of it.
Great read overall! The part
about embracing your scars instead of hiding them hit me hard. I've spent years pretending I'm fine when I'm not. Her message about finding strength in adversity and choosing how you respond to suffering gave me a new perspective. This isn't just for Lupus patients, it's for anyone dealing with ongoing health battles.
