The Conquer Kit: A Creative Business Planner for Women Entrepreneurs (The Conquer Series)

This book is a wonderful help with business planning - whether you're just beginning, or are checking in for a new year or a new quarter. Great worksheets, solid ideas, but not a bunch of writing just to look important (and bore you to tears).

I've been looking for something like this forever and I'm so happy that Natalie has created it -- a business planning book that appeals to my creative side and is an excellent snapshot of everything you need to consider when running a business. I have 3 copies for myself and I keep it on my desk at all times as my "big picture plan". I'm constantly referring to it when I feel lost and struggling in my business.

This book has been a great tool for me. I am slowly starting on creating my business while I work full time and am wife & mother. I can take it at my own pace. It is great because it really speaks to me & encourages me. Which is exactly what I need. Still working through The Conquer Kit. The author is quite an inspiration!

I like the approach to this book. It is a fantastic starting point for someone in business planning stage or looking to better specialize an entrepreneur or solopreneur run company. It works for people developing products or services. I felt a few points seemed a little too millennial geared/trendy (like the Conquerer quiz about work/leadership style). As someone who's focus is on talent/career development, I know many women will not directly identify with a particular "style" as described - so I don't see this being a book that sticks around as another female's business bible. But overall, its thought provoking, well organized, and fun to work on! I really liked some of the inclusions, like words of intention, pillars of success, etc. There are some great tools in here for someone looking to get started who doesn't know the first thing about business (profit/loss statements, financial tracking, going to market, finding a name).

Love it

I thought I was a pretty good planner, but this book blows me away! I brought it on a recent business trip and I got so much planning done. Everything is thoughtfully presented, clearly explained, and truly inspirational. I have clarity for my business, and it's all wrapped up in one place.

Great workbook for starting a business! This book was incredibly helpful with planning my new business and answered a LOT of questions I had. For someone already running a business, it may not be as relevant but it was perfect for a newbie who needs direction and clarity.

The first chapter is mostly nonsense fluff for navel-gazers who use MBTI types like a horoscope. The other chapters are much more practical, but the trendy girl boss language makes the author sound like she’s a 17-year-old TikTok influencer. I’m still using this book to help with business planning because it has its charms (the finance chapter is pretty good) but I’ve also ordered a much more comprehensive book with language and explanations that sound more like an adult’s writing. I’ll report back if that book is better than this one.

I think this is a brilliant guide for those starting to build a business. Personally I read through the whole thing in entirety, and then went back to the beginning to focus on the work - which I would recommend, it helps you see how important the initial exercises are rather than rushing through to the more 'traditional' parts of business building. I'm still working through it all now and it's definitely been great!

I absolutely love this business planner. It helps to focus your goals, aspirations, as well as gives you tips and information to be successful for each section. I understand the previous comment where she said she felt childish filling out the creative aspects in only a small portion of the book, but I did not feel demeaned to do so; as it's a creative business planner! Though I did use a different journal to write my answers so I don't mark up my and to use it for when i'm "re-creating" my vision and business models. Definitely useful, fun, and inspirational! I wish there was a unisex form of this planner, or one geared towards men as I recommend this to everyone.

I absolutely loved this book. It’s so simple and clear! It gas helped me with ideas that I already knew but I definitely understood a lot better and deeper with these exercises! A must have for all the women who want to start their business!

I love working with Natalie MacNeil's books - I am a part of her Conquer Club, and have found her simple 'How Tos' and analytic advice fabulous help in growing my business.

I loved the colors, texture and content. It has good tips to develop a business idea in a simple and easy way.
