- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I didn't want to like this book. I thought it would be another pluck up and get going book that is an old and tired story. I was wrong. Her gumption is awe-inspiring and grounded in the truth of, if I can do it so can you. I offered the book so I could savour the story.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am still crying. What a journey, a plus to hear her voice
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5More than once I've heard my grandmother say "She's got a lot of pluck" and I always thought that this meant "She's got a lot of nerve". According to the dictionary, pluck is defined as spirited and determined courage. Well, the author of this book has all of this! She used her 'pluck', her courage and determination, to create the successful fashion company Sseko Designs. In this book Beginner's Pluck she relates the mistakes she made along the way and how she used those experiences to forge ahead and make success happen. You will probably laugh, you may find yourself shaking your head, but you will definitely find yourself thinking "I can do this also!" This is part memoir and part self-help, but author author Liz Forkin Bohannon will certainly keep your attention. I felt as if she was speaking just to me and I can understand why she is such a successful public speaker. In her conclusion. Bohannon urges readers to get back to who they are meant to be because: You are worthy.You are a unique and irreplaceable part of the Whole.You are created on purpose and for a purpose.You are.You've got pluck. I can't think of a better complement! If you are looking for encouragement and motivation to build or increase your spirited and determined courage, you will want to read Beginner's Pluck. I received a copy of this book from Baker Publishing and I am voluntarily sharing my thoughts in this review. These are my honest opinions.
