There are many people in the world that have it easy but I would say there are far more that Teresa Cobos I'm having a hard time even getting through this book. I have never heard of Nasty Gal before and had I known it was a vintage clothing brand I would have re-thought my purchase, that part is all on me though. She is a rags to riches success story with the typical troubled childhood and all. There are many people in the world that have it easy but I would say there are far more that have it hard, and much worse.

Sophia's never been a typical CEO, or a typical anything, and she's written #GIRLBOSS for outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success, even when that path is winding as all hell and lined with naysayers. She spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and dumpster diving. As Sophia writes, "I have three pieces of advice I want you to remember: Don't ever grow up. The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn't fashion - it was a stolen book. It was there that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay. It's deeply personal yet universal. OK?

She takes chances and takes responsibility on
