This book is written to help people live a life they love now, rather than waiting for ‘one day’, their annual vacation or even retirement.

Bleisure is about blending business and leisure, but it’s also a mindset that means you can have more balance and can do more of what you love.

For the last 15 years I’ve been working for myself and have visited 76 countries thanks to bleisure’. People have constantly asked me how I travel so much and the nuts and bolts of making it work. So this book is a guide to how anyone can embrace bleisure in their lives. Along with sharing my story and advice from my own experiences (and wisdom from lessons learned along the way), I feature a number of case studies on people who also live the bleisure lifestyle, so that readers can see how varied and adaptable it is.

The book was written to address a significant gap in financial literacy among small business owners, particularly women.

Having personally experienced the challenges of managing business finances without proper guidance, I wanted to create a resource that demystifies business finance and makes it accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. The main purpose of the book is to help business owners understand that financial management is not as daunting as it may seem and that by focusing on their numbers, even in the smallest way, they can create a profitable and sustainable business.

The book breaks down complex financial concepts into simple, actionable steps, helping readers to understand their profit and loss statements, improve cash flow, and ultimately take control of their financial destiny.

The overarching message is that everyone has the potential to run a successful business if they pay attention to the numbers.

Maggie Michaels DeCan

Maggie DeCan’s book is not just a memoir; it's a leadership guide for those seeking to make a difference in their organizations while staying true to themselves. DeCan leverages her decades of experience in both corporate and nonprofit leadership to provide invaluable insights for women navigating their careers. DeCan embraces authenticity, turning her struggles into powerful lessons in leadership that she shares with readers in a humor-filled, accessible style. Through her "scar-based leadership" approach, DeCan encourages leaders to embrace their imperfections and vulnerabilities. In a culture where authenticity is highly valued, she emphasizes that trying to be perfect is not only outdated but exhausting—especially for women. People desire realness in their leaders. When leaders share their “scars, warts, and imperfections,” it fosters an environment of openness and connection. “Scar-based leadership is the key to creating real relationships in work and life,” DeCan writes.

I wrote this book as an honest and practical handbook for business-owning parents.

I work with thousands of business parents through my online memberships and courses and so often they struggle with guilt, productivity, and realising their dream of family flexibility.

I wanted to help people:
1. Deal with mindset issues around their ‘why’ and parent guilt
2. Get really honest about their time and how to avoid setting themselves up for failure
3. Dig into money hangups and implement practical money growth and savings strategies
4. Work on communication with partners and kids – turning the business into a family friend rather than a time-stealing enemy
5. Look after themselves, avoid burnout and stop putting themselves last

This book tells the truth about what it really takes for parents just to run a successful business, make decent money and avoid burning yourself to a frazzle in the process
