A call for women everywhere to forget perfectionism and start winging it.
 
Emma Isaacs forgot to draw up her life plan. She doesn't have a list of five-year goals, and she doesn't believe in work-life balance. Yet somehow she's managed to found a multimillion-dollar global organization, become a highly sought-after speaker and media commentator, and be recognized as a prominent voice in women's leadership—all while raising six young children.
So how does she do it all? She dives in headfirst and wings it.
Women are notorious over-preparers and underestimators when it comes to their own readiness to try something new. But as Emma teaches, what most often holds us back are our own fears, excuses, and doubts. With her revolutionary manifesto, Winging It, Emma has written a rallying cry for all women to "do the things that scare you, build your wealth, make an impact, fail lots, and get up and try again."
Through hilarious stories, targeted prompts, and timeless advice, Emma will inspire you to get clear on what really matters and go after your dreams, one messy step at a time. Get ready to stop hiding behind the safe option or the perfect plan—and start winging it

      An exuberant guide to getting motivated and working toward one’s goals arrives from Isaacs, a first-time author and the founder and CEO of networking platform Business Chicks. Rejecting the “idea of having your life in perfect equilibrium,” Isaacs writes that she simply tries “to bring more health and sanity into my life” whenever she can, without worrying about getting it completely right. Isaacs bolsters her advice with stories from her career, and illustrates the importance of listening to one’s intuition by recounting her ill-fated partnership with a high-flying event producer whose promises always seemed a little too good to be true, though Isaacs “couldn’t quite put my finger on why.” The book shines the most when Isaacs delivers her message of banishing fear of failure, realizing that everyone is just making it up as they go along, and having “the flexibility to pivot and weave when the situation calls for it.” When she ends by asking “what are you waiting for?” readers are likely to feel she’s asking a very good question. Gutsy and go-for-the-gold, this caffeinated guide delivers.
