It was up to her to appoint herself. That night led to what eventually became a six-figure freelance career as a sought-after marketing and copywriting consultant, all while sipping coffee from her front porch in Costa Rica. <p/>She then launched The Middle Finger Project, a blog and online course hub, which has provided tens of thousands of young women who disobey with the tools and mindset to give everyone else's expectations the finger and get on your own path to happiness, wealth, independence, and adventure. <p/>In her first book, Ash draws on her unconventional personal story to offer a fun, bracing, and occasionally potty-mouthed manifesto for the transformative power of radical self-reliance. Employing the signature wit and wordsmithing she's used to build an avid following, she offers paradigm-shifting advice along the lines of: <p/> <b>-</b> The best feeling in the world is knowing who you are and what you're capable of doing.<br> <b>-</b> Life circumstances are not life sentences. If a Scranton girl who grew up in a trailer park can make it, so can you.<br> <b>-</b> What you believe about yourself will either murder your chances or save your life. So why not believe something good?<br> <b>-</b> You don't need a high-ranking job title to be authorized to contribute. You just need to<i> contribute</i>.<br> <b>-</b> Be your own authority. Authority only works as long as you trust that someone smarter than you is making the rules.<br> <b>-</b> The way you become a <i>force</i> is by being the most radically real version of yourself that you can be.<br> <b>-</b> You only have 12 fucks a day to give, so use them wisely.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for <i>The Middle Finger Project</i> <p/> "I f*cking love a woman who knows what she wants and how to get it--and even better, is willing to share her secrets so we can all get ours too.

Growing up in a trailer park in rural Pennsylvania, Ambirge dreamed of a stable, middle-class lifestyle. But after a series of misfortunes, including an abusive relationship and a death in the family, Ambirge found herself in a K-Mart parking lot, alone, homeless, and wondering what all her aspirations amounted to. The low moment forced Ambirge to find an inner strength that catapulted her over the year that follows, from sleeping in her car to getting a job in advertising to running her own successful online media company. Ambirge writes about her struggles and mistakes with candor and sharp humor, heightening the appeal of her call for "radical self-reliance," which amounts to confidence in pursuing one's passions for a living. And along with all the snarky irreverence, Ambirge gives a wealth of advice on entrepreneurship, including tips on battling perfectionism, negotiating, and selling ideas. Ambirge's blunt tone and helpful advice will appeal to any woman looking to shrug off a dreary, conventional career for a life of adventure, passion, and happiness.<br><b>--Publisher's Weekly</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ash Ambirge is an internet entrepreneur, creative writer, speaker and advocate for women being brave & doing disobedient things with their careers and their lives.
