Praise for Align Your Business with the Real You
"More than just a roadmap for career success, Align Your Business with the Real You gently steers Musser’s followers onto a path of autonomy, as she puts the responsibility for change squarely on readers’ shoulders in respectful, compassionate terms. When it comes to delegating, she appeals to readers to “stop trying to do it all so you can redirect yourself toward meaningful achievements,” and her definition of alignment charges readers with the task of organizing their lives according to their true selves—a concept that she builds from the bottom up, starting with how to listen to yourself and accept life’s many curveballs.
Musser’s pointers are an interesting blend of insight and practicality, leaving readers with opportunities for reflection as well as resources for further learning. To increase utility, the guide culminates in a handy summary of each step and its connected lessons, including a rundown of the many creative exercises Musser offers (a word search cleverly tailored to the lesson 'stop overthinking and get going' is particularly memorable). While navigating the gap between business and personal success can be tricky, Musser’s direction leaves readers with a full toolbox for 'owning yourself and the life you choose to live.'”
-Booklife Review (Editor's Pick)
“Align Your Business With the Real You: Connect with Yourself, Create What Matters Most, and Define Your Success belongs in business, economics, and entrepreneurial libraries. Jennifer Musser’s focus on linking personal vision and ideals of success with basic business concepts and objectives gives her book an edge of authenticity that stands out from other business and personal growth titles.
...Musser creates a novel opportunity in her exploration of a new way of approaching business.”
-D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
“After reading Align Your Business with the Real You, I felt a lot lighter. I felt like I had ideas galore that I had never thought of. And on top of it all, I felt gratitude for everyone and everything around me. Musser's stop-and-smell-the-roses technique is the perfect fix for any entrepreneur who has woken up tired."

Rating: 5
-Literary Titan (Five Starred Review)
“Mental health challenges and a lack of self-care are contemporary issues discussed in houses, offices, and social media platforms around the globe; and Musser fully recognizes these points of interest and empathetically makes it known that without a clear sense of self--mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually--success (whatever that looks like for you) will be harder to attain. Musser’s caring demeanor is evident in her stylistic choices, which includes personal stories as introductions to chapters, and chapters that are consistently broken down to help readers reflect, learn, apply, act, and ask, all actions that positively feed into the thirteen lessons that should be learned while self-reflecting.”
-Feathered Quill Book Reviews (Five Starred Review)
“In her work, Musser effectively displays her passion for bringing potential entrepreneurs to the realization of their best work by encouraging them to listen, focus on, and organize the situations that are truly rewarding to them and to offer actual examples of practical ways and means of accomplishing realistic, fulfilling goals.”
-The US Review of Books
“Readers who enjoy non-fiction books which explore psychology, small business development, entrepreneurship, and the connections between mental health and business will thoroughly enjoy this book. The very humanistic approach to business the author utilizes and the lessons and experience the author brings to the book are excellent.”
-Pacific Book Review (Noble Book Designation)
