Almost Reckless
A Creative and Pragmatic Approach to Taking Risks
Amy Smilovic’s cult fashion brand, Tibi, was a thriving $70 million business when she realized she was working toward someone else’s idea of success. So she threw out the rulebook of how things should be done and went with her gut instead.
Today Tibi is more successful than ever, and all on Smilovic’s groundbreaking entrepreneurial terms.
In Almost Reckless, she invites you to get comfortable with embracing smart risks in pursuit of your own vision. Sharing her story and drawing on her years of helping others identify their values and principles, Smilovic teaches you to hone your gut, and your trust in it.
