Linda: Probably the best book I have ever read on business! I used to listen to all the masculine talks about “you have to grind and hustle” and each time I followed that advice I burned out! When reading this book I understand WHY! And I also learned what to do instead in order to build a business based a more chilled approach! It has already transformed my business and private reality within a few weeks! Thank you

ClareW: Before I read Chillpreneur, I'd actually given up reading business books, because I couldn't identify with the authors at all. But this book has actionable, down-to-earth advice that centres on how things feel, rather than just cold numbers, and how to approach running a business if you want a life as well. Plus, though very informative, it's also written in a light tone that's fun to read.

Chillpreneur doesn't make wild promises, but even the one tiny piece of advice that I've put into practice so far worked as intended in less than a day. I'll be re-reading Chillpreneur several times, as a result.

Obviously, I have no idea whether all the many nuggets in the book will work like that, or would work in the same way for everyone,. But I can tell you that a) I rarely leave book reviews, and b) I've never before used the "share to family library" function on Kindle to enable my husband to read a book too. And yet, with Chillpreneur, I've done both of those things.

Finally, a message for the author herself. Thank you so much Denise, if you're reading this. I found your book to be genuinely different and special, and suspect that my year (and maybe, mine and my...

The Lexie Wilson Astrology: I have such a hard time relaxing (blame it on my Capricorn Stellium). I’m constantly pushing myself and so I have to learn how to “chill” and this book has helped me so much!
Denise is funny, realistic, and practical. She breaks down how simple business can really be and I feel like this book gives me permission to recognize that I do NOT have to push myself to exhaustion to be a successful entrepreneur. In reading her book, I’ve learned to look for the path of least resistance - which has made my online business so much more fun to run. I’ve changed my schedule to honor my natural flow and it’s allowed me to have more rest, be more creative, and my business has grown as a result of it. I had my first 5 figure month while implementing the skills from her book. So I’d say - this is worth it! :)

Johanne A. Pierre-Louis: This is the second book I am listening to via Audible. I have to express how amazing this book is. I am so happy to have invested into this book. The knowledge in this book is priceless. Although it is about starting, maintaining, and evolving your business journey, there are many skills, tools individuals can utilize in life in general. Before purchasing this book, I read the reviews and if I payed attention to the negative reviews, I would have lost on this wonderful gift. I purchased this book for two reasons. One, because I am interested in starting my business and wanted tips on how to operate a business from Denise's point of view, and two, I received Denise's other book "Get Rich Lucky Bitch" for free from Audible. I felt like I had to invest as much as Denise invested in me with her book. Hence, this is how I managed to be blessed in all areas of my life. The best about it all is that I have it on Audible and I can listen to any book while I am driving taking my children to school, running errands, or driving long distance trips to visit family.

The information in this book has touched me emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Emotionally by learning not to take...

Sampada Chaudhari: Denise’s new book Chillpreneur is a fascinating read. It has rewired my thinking and set straight my perspective on business, sales, hiring and more. In a tell-it-like-it-is style packed with humour, Denise doles out precious nuggets of advice to women in business. She not only encourages you to take the path of least resistance, but she also shows you how to walk that path.

What I loved most was Denise's optimism and her attitude of seeing a silver lining in everything. Love how she explains that setbacks and obstacles in business are only rites of passage that can’t be avoided. She makes it easy to follow this with her own examples of failures and mess-ups. It’s inspiring to know how she reframed challenges in her journey, instead of letting them derail her. Her perspective can help change how you feel about one-star book reviews or a crappy launch.

Her persistent advice on not getting caught up in perfectionism and putting yourself out is sure to get you out of your comfort zone. She recounts how she published average work at the start of her journey, that eventually led to success. She says she grew her business with consistency and not...

Nic Walsh: Hustling so hard you burn your light out has never appealed to me as a particularly awesome way to live. Yet, a high octane lifestyle celebrating sleep deprivation (come on people when I get a solid 7 hours sleep I feel like I’ve won the lottery, my energy is SEXY, and I’m a better human to my people), like some screwy badge of honour is often what is pushed upon folk as the only way to “get after it,” and get what you want out of life.

The awesome Denise shows us another way in her latest read, the way of a Chillpreneur, and I ADORE it and this woman – her way of working/ creating in a world fake leadership is refreshingly REAL, accessible and down to earth.

Divided into Four Parts, Mindset, Business Models, Money, and Marketing, so much ground is covered in this high impact book! Denise helps you find your chill when you crash into obstacles and your belief account is drained of funds. You know those times where you want to take out a “belief loan” at the Bank just to borrow some belief until you one day wake up and CHOOSE TO BELIEVE because …

People want your magic, not perfectionism

There’s so much I LOVED about this book! Running...

Nathalie Lussier: I admit it: I can't get enough of Denise's "tell it like it is" style, and I've read all of her books.

But what I love most about Chillpreneur is how Denise pulls back the curtain on all of the business lessons she's learned over the years, and puts it into a practical guide for women entrepreneurs.

I'm a seasoned business owner myself, and I spent much of the book nodding in agreement (when I wasn't laughing at Denise's jokes!) because so much of this rings true.

Beyond the useful information on everything from pricing to balancing life and business... what I love the most about Denise and her writing is that she's a normal person, who is out there to normalize wealth for other women.

She also shares some of the shortcuts and concepts that have enabled her to be successful on her own terms, and that's extremely beneficial in our society today. We don't need more hustlers on the verge of burnout or cookie cutter entrepreneurs.

The world is going to have a lot more chillpreneurs thanks to this book - less busy, more focused, and happier wealthier women... what's not to love? Grab your copy.

Bonnie Gillespie: I don't have to say much to sell you on "Chillpreneur." If you've consumed any of the many free resources out there from Denise Duffield-Thomas, you know what you're in for. She's charming, she's smart, she's funny, and she knows her stuff when it comes to identifying, removing, and then getting out ahead of money blocks entrepreneurs may unknowingly carry around!

What I love about the "Chillpreneur" concept specifically is how it's all about embracing the easy. Leaning into our true gifts. Knowing we're human and we will get stuff wrong. Remaining positive while staring down the impostor syndrome that affects us all. Denise kicks off her book with "Mindset" (which is how I kick off mine as well) because none of the practical work makes a difference if we've not learned how to play the inner game.

I'm all about finding joy along the journey and since Denise came into my life, I've gotten way more chill about that... all while upping my passive income to 48% of my annual revenue. Oh... did I save the best part for last? Denise's money mindset work gets results! Start with the book, bingewatch her vids, get yourself into her courses, DO THE WORK, then come back and...
