THE HUNDRED-HOUR WORK WEEK .

I picked up The Hundred-Hour Work Week looking for motivation, and it delivered more than I expected. As someone balancing a full-time job while trying to grow my Etsy shop, I really connected with Jomell’s journey. He’s honest, passionate, and offers straight-to-the-point advice that actually works in real life. No fluff—just real talk and actionable insights.

Balancing work, family, and trying to get a business off the ground isn’t easy — but this book reminded me why I started. Jomell’s story is powerful, and his mindset advice is some of the best I’ve read in a while. It’s not just about hustle — it’s about focus, intention, and grit. Highly recommend to anyone feeling stuck but not ready to give up their job.

Honestly, I didn’t know if this book would speak to someone in my shoes—but it got me from page one. Jomell’s hustle is real, and his energy hits hard. What stood out most was his focus on starting from zero—no handouts, no silver spoon, just grind. It’s practical, it’s honest, and it fires you up to get moving.

This book gave me the wake-up call I didn’t know I needed. I’ve been talking about launching my side business for years, and this finally got me moving. Jomell’s approach is tough-love but relatable. My only wish is that it had a companion workbook — I’d love to go even deeper.
