Successful as F*ck
A No BS Tale of Screwing Up and Succeeding Anyway
by Riah Gonzalez
Genre: Memoir 

Picture
Psst! Does anyone know what the hell they are supposed to be doing with their life? Are you letting other people’s opinions determine your trajectory while you figure it out? As Dr. Phil would say, “How’s that working for ya?”

Successful as F*ck: A No BS Tale of Screwing Up and Succeeding Anyway frees you to embrace the bullshit of life and find joy on your own terms. Author Riah Gonzalez dives deep into her traumatic past and turbulent healing process to prove that it is possible to hit rock bottom and still come out stronger on the other side… with your wit intact! Her stories and introspections cut straight through the platitudes and redefine success with unapologetic authenticity.

More than a memoir, Successful as F*ck is an anthem for anyone who’s faced adversity, and a guide for younger generations to avoid the possible pitfalls – and should they find themselves in times of woe anyway, a friend to help them survive, overcome, and thrive.

Riah Gonzalez is an accidental entrepreneur, taco enthusiast, and lover of 90’s pop. As a young mom with minimal support, she quickly learned that her success would look different than that of her peers. The life lessons she learned through trial and error led her to encourage others through her debut book, Successful as F*ck: A No BS Tale of Screwing Up and Succeeding Anyway.

When she’s not writing, Riah empowers female entrepreneurs with her Virtual Assistant Matchmaking company, Linq Consulting Solutions. She lives happily in the soggy Pacific Northwest with her high school sweetheart husband and three beautiful daughters.

For more of Riah’s hilarity and badassery, visit riahgonzalez.com.

Marcy, thank you! The story is told through the lens of my life, but the experiences are universally relatable. We all desire achievement and approval. Finding what brings us fulfillment can be challenging, especially as we stumble through life. But there is hope! Dang, if I can reach an international bestseller with this book (which it did!), then we all can do a lot more than we give ourselves credit for.

Wendy, I cannot wait to hear what you think. It astounds me how much life has occurred just in the year since starting this book. The response I have received has made me realize that it's okay to be honest about who I am, my flaws, and all. Imperfection does not diminish my badassery. :)

Thanks, Susan. It was a challenging story to live and equally challenging to document. What can I say? Life is a multilayered experience and I'm just along for the ride. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the view.

Bernie,
Thanks for asking! It took about a year from start to finish. The end product is approximately half of what I wrote, but I purposefully edited it down to the most impactful version of the manuscript. Totally worth it.
