Great read, simple and powerful message. Recommended for personal development.
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2024Loved this book and definitively recommending to my friends. It offers practical strategies and actionable advise. The narratives are inspiring with real life examples. It has a comprehensive approach to personal development, self-awareness, goal setting, time management, etc.
While the concepts are familiar to those in the business field, I believe that those are simple enough to resonate with anyone seeking to improve their personal life.

Clear and Insightful!
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024This book is full of practical advice on organizing my life.
Starting with mindset, Dafne shares how anyone can organize their life around what truly matters and how to spend our most important resources. Our Time, Energy, and, of course, our Money.
I read the book and hired Dafne to help organize my solopreneur business. What I got was more than I thought I would. She helped me get clear and focused.
I highly recommend this book to anyone feeling a bit lost on how to organize all the hats one wears.

Good introduction to personal development from the business world
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024The Strategic Business of You seeks to adapt strategies that are generally used in the field of business to develop one’s personal life. For the most part, the author succeeds, although it seems a stretch to imply that Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs was primarily designed for the corporate world. Each of the strategies is clearly delineated, illustrating how it can apply to both business and personal life. As the book progresses, the author shows how the combination of strategies can become synergistic, supporting a more robust approach to improving one’s life. The material is somewhat basic; I can see it acting as a bridge to personal development for those who have primarily been focusing on their careers.
