Synopsis

First, we leaned in. Now we stand up.

In this “much-needed combo of real talk, confessions, and lessons learned along the way” (Chelsea Handler), Jaclyn Johnson—the founder and CEO behind Create & Cultivate, the fastest growing online platform for millennial businesswomen—offers a rallying cry for a new generation of women who are redefining the meaning of work on their own terms.

Jaclyn suffered a massive blow in her early twenties. She was on an upward career climb and confidently moved across the country for a job—and then, was abruptly let go. Attempting to turn that closed door into an open window, she launched a company with a trusted business partner. Soon after, she discovered said business partner had made detrimental decisions to the company without her knowledge. Before she knew it, she was in the throes of a brutal business partner break up. She was only twenty-four.

Determined to bounce back, Jaclyn overhauled the mess that was her life and by the time she was in her early thirties, she had sold a company and launched the much-buzzed about Create & Cultivate platform—and advised and invested in multiple million-dollar projects at the same time. So, how did she do it?

In WorkParty, Jaclyn shows how she turned distrust into determination, frustration into fuel, and heartache into hard work—and how you can, too.

With stories from leading female entrepreneurs including Christene Barberich (co-founder of Refinery29), Alli Webb, (creator of Drybar), Morgan Debaun (founder of Blavity), Jen Gotch of Ban.do, Rebecca Minkoff, and Kendra Scott, you will learn the tips and tricks from the best in the business while cultivating the passion and happiness you need to succeed. “This is the book you need to take your career to the next level—on your own terms” (Refinery29).

Goodreads review by Katherine D. on October 09, 2018

Can I be frank? READ THIS BOOK INSTEAD OF GIRLBOSS. This book was a lot better than I honestly thought it would be. The cover attracted me first, because it looked cute and fun. I recognized the business and as someone who has always been interested in going to a C&C event, it seemed really interest......more

Goodreads review by Caroline on March 23, 2019

3.5 stars Well, it's certainly a better read than #GIRLBOSS, that's for sure. There's a lot more practical advice, for one thing, although I was still left wanting more at times (like the section on salary negotiation, for example). I could have done without the excessive use of terms like "tribe" an......more

Goodreads review by Rachel (morethanthepages) on July 25, 2018

Think of this book as your personal assistant to you creating your business and mentoring you and telling you how to run it in the most straight up way a friend could even tell you. She has a blogger background so it’s important to remember that her style of writing comes off as a blog style writing......more

Goodreads review by Izzati on November 22, 2021

This is real talk. For women, by a woman. For aspiring entrepreneurs by a successful enterpreneur. I read through this book as if I didn't have tomorrow to read it. Granted, I'm in the mood to read, but you have to give credit where credit is due, and Jaclyn Johnson made this such an easy read. She......more

Goodreads review by Becky on July 22, 2019

Without aspirations of starting my own business, but always on board with girl power-y messages about breaking through glass ceilings, I was cautiously interested in reading this book. ⁣I was initially pretty turned off by all the buzzwordiness of it all. Everything felt like a catch-phrase or sloga......more
