Reading Before You Begin by Dr. Anu Khanchandani felt like sitting across the table from a mentor who truly gets you, especially if you’re a woman staring down the daunting yet hopeful path of starting something of your own.
Dr. Anu Khanchandani doesn’t offer generic motivation or textbook business advice. Instead, she peels back the real emotional layers that hold women back, guilt, fear of judgment, and the constant tug-of-war between ambition and responsibility. What struck me most was her emphasis on starting not with a “big idea,” but with an honest “why.” That shift in perspective is what made this book feel so personal and powerful.
What I appreciated deeply is how real the stories felt. Women from different phases of life, each navigating their inner doubts, came alive through her words. The tools and exercises, especially the clarity prompts and the Life-First Business Filter, were so actionable that I found myself pausing to reflect multiple times.
What makes this book stand out is its refreshing honesty. It never tries to glamorize the idea of entrepreneurship or push you toward big, shiny goals. Instead, it shows you how to begin with what you have, as you are. Whether you're a mother, a professional on a break, or simply someone who feels stuck, this book reminds you that your feelings are valid—and your dreams are still possible.
If you’re a woman who’s ever whispered, “Maybe I could start something,” this book doesn’t shout back. It gently says, “Yes. And here’s how.”
