Start with Yourself

Start With Yourself is a no-BS guide for anyone seeking meaningful success on their own terms.

An instant international bestseller, Start With Yourself is a new mindset for work and life.

It’s an essential framework that will give you the tools and mindset to unlock your full potential in life and business.

Based on the factors of her early life (she’s the child of a working-class single mother who grew up in a rough neighborhood in East London and dropped out of high school) you’d never guess that Emma Grede would go on to become one of America’s richest self-made women. This makes Grede singular and unique, but she’s convinced you can do it too: Start With Yourself is a blueprint to her mindset and how she thinks about business and life, structured in easy takeaways, so you can immediately apply her philosophy to what you’re trying to build and create.

Among her insights, Grede identifies what she calls “Old Thoughts": stale thinking, outdated ideas; set-in-stone rules ingrained into the culture about work life balance, the crassness of money and the unseemliness of ambition - which aren’t actually rules at all. They’re biases, Grede insists, system errors, and we must strike them from our minds in order to create a greater sense of control, even mastery, over our day-to-day and long-range goals.

Ultimately, this is a book for everyone tired of feeling like a bystander or passenger in their own life. Grede offers tangible and applicable-right-now solutions to create a mindset, an overall system of thought to manage emotions, clarify ideas, and illuminate the right next step - while always staying positive.
