Women around the world have responded to Cara Alwill Leyba’s Girl Code with a resounding YES. Companies like Kate Spade and Macy’s 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 today’s 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 other’s backs. When we stop pretending everything is perfect, and show the messy, beautiful parts of ourselves and our work—which 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.
I’m convinced that there’s no reason to hoard information, connections, or insight. Wisdom is meant to be shared, so let’s start sharing what we’ve learned to make each other better. Let’s start building each other up. Let’s 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 won’t teach you how to build a multimillion-dollar company. It won’t 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, that’s what life and business are all about.

Great read for anyone needing a shift in perspective!
I’d like to start by saying I’m not a female entrepreneur. Although this book is geared toward women in business, it really resonated with me. I felt empowered, inspired, refreshed and generally more positive after reading it. I am a stay at home mother and although I’ve never aspired to be an entrepreneur of any sort, Cara has the ability to connect with all women and provides tops and tools in helping you discover what your ideas of happiness and success are. I’ve followed Cara’s journey from blogger to Master Life Coach and author, and I can truly say she practices exactly what she preaches. All of her success is a result of her hard work, passion and positivity. Ok fine, she’s my best friend! Lol but even if she weren’t I would really want her to be! She’s that good. She has somehow turned this eternal skeptic into a believer in all things gold and glitter.

MUST BUY!
This book is completely amazing!!!! I can’t believe how empowering and motivating this book was to me. The stories were so real. The book made it simple and straight to the point of what we have to do as women. As a entrepreneur I can relate to most of the things that were shared. They talked about the good and the bad the pretty and ugly. I think every woman should have this book rather if your an entrepreneur or not. I don’t want to give too much away about the book. Just cop it and I can guarantee you will love it. I brought another 1 just to give as an gift to any woman I feel deserves it. Hard working, educated, self employed just to give them a lil boost to say keep on going but don’t forget to pour you a glass and make a toast to your hard work.

Girl Code Unlocking The Secrets To Success,Sanity,And Happiness For The Female Entrepreneur
This book is a good book however I wish there had been more to it.This book was mostly a book contenting interviews.The author interviewed several female enterpreneurs such as Shirley Manson,Lead Singer of Garbage ,Rachel Luna ,Best-Selling Author And Expert Business Confidence Coach,Katie Willicox,Ceo of Healthy Is The New Skinny,as well as other female enterpreneurs The women were asked to share a bit about themselves,why they were inspired to do the practicular things they did,what there mission statement was which I thought was a really good question the author asked, How did they handle fear,What one thing female business owners need on their journey, What their typical day looks like,What inspires them right now,What women need more of?What do they need less of and a piece of advice they have for female entrepreneur just starting out.The authour also included her own story as well at the begainning of the book as well.She left areas in the book so people can write down notes .And some of secrets include You will evolve.Not everyone will get it .Envolve anyway. and The ability to self-promote,when done right,is the most powerful tool you have as an enterpreneur.So if you are a women especially one who is about to start her own business this is the book to get.

Awesome Read
WoW, Girl Code was a great read. As a female entrepreneur it motivated and inspired me. I was feeling drained and overwhelmed! This book has given me back my drive and the confirmation I was looking for to get up and carryout certain ideas I have in mind! I would recommend this book to ALL female entrepreneurs. P.S. if you can get the printed version do so! It’s got space to write notes and can be very helpful in reusing when your getting down and need to remember why you began your entrepreneural journey!ð I feel like the writer is a down to earth girl who genuinely cares about other women and wants to help them succeed!

Lovely book for women starting out on their entrepreneur journey that is motivating and encouraging.I found it very refreshing to find such a strong message of female empowerment and support.If all women read this book and supported one another this world would be a better place.

Recently finished reading this book and wow! this book is amazing, the writer had discussed journeys of various women entrepreneur through interviews. This book develops a confidence within an individual and most importantly one thing a loved a lot is that the writer had emphasised on women friendships and growth.

An incredible book for any woman looking to make a change in their life, no matter how big or small. Cara has such an authentic and real way of writing that you feel as if you’re talking to your best friend and she’s giving you literally the best advice you’ve ever given. It does not matter if you’re an entrepreneur. This book is honesty for every one and I’m so grateful it found it’s way in to my life! After reading Girl Code I knew I needed to change my life and now I had the courage to do it. I quit my full time managerial job to pursue the career of my dreams. Last week I accepted a promotion after 6 weeks on the job.This book will change your life!
