She Thinks Like a Boss - Business Affirmations: 200 Affirmations for Women in Business, Entrepreneurs, Solopreneurs by Jemma Roedel

April 24, 2022 Melanie Hawken

Jemma Roedel

Book Review

If you are a woman entrepreneur who wants to build a successful mindset for positive thinking, growth and banish limiting beliefs, then She Thinks Like a Boss: Business Affirmations: 200 Affirmations for Women in Business, Entrepreneurs, Solopreneurs by Jemma Roedel is just what you need to read.


Breaking into business is hard, and Jemma Roedel, author of She Thinks Like a Boss: Business Affirmations: 200 Affirmations for Women in Business, Entrepreneurs, Solopreneurs, believes that you need to think positive and stop letting your own self doubt hold you back. You might set out with high ambitions, but there are always obstacles that stand in your way. Something or someone that tried to halt your climb up the career ladder. But you can’t afford to think like that anymore. There’s always going to be that little voice of self-doubt in the back of your head, questioning your every action, making you feel as though you’re not good enough…Which is why you need to equip yourself with a series of affirmations that will drown out the self-doubt, give you a positive belief to cling on to and the confidence to be the professional you know you are.

In short, affirmations can:

  • Improve your self-esteem

  • Keep negative feelings at bay

  • Give you an element of control over your life

  • Improve your relationships with other people

  • Give you the drive to see projects through to the end

In ‘She Thinks Like a Boss: Business Affirmations’, you will be able to access over 200 business affirmations that will improve your mindset, do away with any self-doubt and turn the entrepreneurial tide in your favour. It’s like having your own personal cheerleader and business coach all in one, guiding you through the ups and downs of business life and giving you a good dose of self-belief in the process.

Author Quotes

Daily affirmations will reprogram your brain to only think positive thoughts. 

Talking about yourself in a positive light will install new beliefs in your subconscious mind as well as boost your self-confidence.

You can speak your affirmations out loud as many times as you like until you’re really focussing on the thought and the feeling. This means you will always begin your day by doing something positive. 

About the author

Jemma Roedel lives in the South East of England, UK, and has a passion to help women in the workplace and in business. She is the owner of the She Thinks Like a Boss brand, with the mission to help professionals be more confident and grow their skills. With an amazing team behind the brand on call to help across all areas of business, her first book in the She Thinks Like a Boss series was born on the subject of leadership.


Why LoA loves it…

We all know that self-doubt is something that can creep into our entrepreneurial lives at any time, particularly if there are challenges and hurdles to overcome in business. At times like these, it becomes even more important to boost our self confidence, and affirmations are a great way of keeping us on track and positive. Jemma has captured the power of affirmations for entrepreneurs in her book and there are so many useful ones to tap into and to point our positive thinking processes in the right direction. A definite must-read for all those women entrepreneurs needing a self confidence boost. — Melanie Hawken, founder & ceo, Lionesses of Africa
