I truly enjoyed this book as Lorraine shares her story. I appreciate all of her honesty and the self reflection tools after each chapter. I found myself thinking and reflecting in different ways than I have before.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll be inspired to REACH! for your own definition of success
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2016

It's a quick read with a lasting impact. I could have read it all in one sitting, but I had to take a break because it gave me the FEELS big time and with those FEELS came tears. Lorraine's story is unique to her, but there is a sense of universality because we all go through difficult times more than once in a lifetime; times when we feel broken and have to pick up the pieces that are left of us and seek out something new to reinvent ourselves. Her candid story of how she went from struggling to feed her children to achieving her vision of success is inspiring and encouraging. Each chapter ends with tools and exercises that will help you come up with your own definition of success and help you map your way there.

This book is a true testimony of perseverance. We all go through rough times in our lives. The important thing is that we don't allow it to consume us mind, body, and soul. Lorraine pushed through and has led as an example for us all. For all those who want to give up and quit, for those who just lose faith, we must remember to continue to REACH for our goals and believe in ourselves. If she can make it, so can we! Great and easy read. It really allows you to think and analyze and I just love the tips.

I read this when I was going through a rough patch and it definitely helped. I downloaded it on my Kindle for Iphone and I LOVE it! I read it twice, highlighting passages that would be inspirational for later on. This book is an easy read but SO great when you think that everything is going wrong-- Lorraine's story shows that things DO get better, and that there are good people who help you along the way.

At the end of each chapter there are exercises that will help you along the way.

Definitely a GREAT read (for both men and women!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Lorraine's story, an inspiring lesson for any entrepreneur
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2016
Verified Purchase
I bought "REACH" last week because I was going through a rough patch and I was feeling emotional. I really needed to boost my motivation to keep working in my new life as an entrepreneur and get back on track with the development of my recently launched business. Because of some anxiety and lack of focus, It's been many months since I've been able to finish a book, but this time, I couldn't stop reading this little treasure, that is Lorraine's story, and I was able to finish it in less than three days. A miracle!

I recommend this book to everybody, not only for you but for your loved ones. I'm already buying more copies as a gift for some friends, and I'm waiting for the Spanish version for my mom, who is already asking me about it, after I told her what I was reading about.

Lorraine, I admire you. Thank you for taking the time to write and sharing such an inspirational and brave story. This book is the first item in my new gratitude diary.

Full disclosure, I know the author from prior social media events. Even so, I was still moved and inspired by this book. Reinventing is one of my favorite words, and I loved reading Lorraine’s story, most of which to be honest I didn’t know before. This book made me cry a bit (at a Hair salon of all places) but mostly inspired me to continue growing as I kick off a new phase of my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars REACH! Gives it to You Straight
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2016
Verified Purchase
Lorraine, as an online media freelancer/solopreneur, I'm constantly looking for people to give it to me straight about what it really takes to 'make it'. You did just that. REACH! is such an honest account of how you went from zip to success on your own terms. While it's a very personal journey, the Self Reflection Tools and Exercises that you offer at the end of each chapter helped me outline a path for myself. Thank you for this book! Wishing you so much more success for you and your family!

5.0 out of 5 stars Your story is so inspiring!
Reviewed in Canada on May 23, 2019

Every single word that described your story was so compelling, so easy to digest. So non BS, and real, raw but at the same time with an uplifting note, that even when describing your darkest moments it was like you knew you were going to get ahead. You were going to succeed and get out of that hole you fell into. Love your style, live your honesty and I will recommend this book to anyone so that they also know there's success in every day life. We just need to clear our lenses and be open to see it. We need to be willing to do the work, hustling until we see the fruits of our work. Thank you Lorraine. ILIA.
