Summary
Details

Boat Burning for Beginners is a bold and inspiring collection of real stories from women who stopped waiting for ""someday"" and built businesses-and lives-on their own terms.

These women didn't start with all the answers.

They left behind steady paychecks, comfortable titles, and clear career paths, driven by something harder to define: a spark. A restless pull toward something more.

In these pages, you'll find:

The pivotal moments that forced brave decisions The private doubts behind public successes The practical realities of starting from scratch without guarantees

Each woman faced her fears and made the courageous decision to bet on herself-without a safety net. Along the way, they navigated illness, immigration, single motherhood, burnout, and the uncertainty that comes with choosing a different path.

This isn't a step-by-step guide.

It's a permission slip.

It's a wake-up call.

It's a reminder that you're not alone-and that the fire inside you was never meant to stay small.

Whether you're dreaming about starting something new, feeling stuck in a life that no longer fits, or already building your own venture, Boat Burning for Beginners will reignite your belief in what's possible.

Featuring powerful true stories from:

Abigail Seymour - Jamie Matusek - Jennifer Johnson - Janna Paulson - Geri DiVita - Shelley Larsen - Jessica Campos - Theresa Pore - Melinda Garvey
