Introduction
After switching from one odd job to another, Sophia Amoruso managed to build a multi-million dollar business before the age of 30.
Did she go to an expensive college? Did she attend marketing and business courses? Definitely not!
As a teenager, her teachers thought there was something wrong with her.
Amoruso was diagnosed with depression and Attention-Deficit Disorder, or ADD. She hated high school and finally managed to drop out for homeschooling.
At 17, she began living with friends, renting closets under the stairs for $60 a month. Taking mediocre jobs to pay the bills, she often ended up either being fired or quitting after becoming bored.
In #Girlboss, Amoruso tells how, after years of hitchhiking and dumpster diving, she found herself becoming an entrepreneur, selling the thrift vintage clothes she had always loved.
