Bitch, Stop! Please . . .

An Entrepreneur’s Journey of Innovation, from Chaos to Clarity

When Sharmin Ali presents her ambitious dreams as a teenager, bursting with curiosity, then continues through her persistent journey over the next twenty years to become a successful entrepreneur who has visited more than seventy countries, meeting interesting people and obstacles along the way, you have to keep up.

Bitch, Stop! Please . . . is her story. Each challenge turned into a stepping stone, each win further proof that self-reliance is not an easy way to go, but the surprising turns are worth it. From the frantic activity of New York to epic landscapes of Chile, from dynamic cultures of Africa to the Old World charm of Europe, she embraced the richness of many worlds, each new place a chapter full of adventures that expanded her horizons and strengthened an entrepreneurial spirit through connections with people who showed her examples of courage and innovation, over and over again.

From a tiny village in India where she discovered sustainable farming to a tech hub in Silicon Valley where she observed groundbreaking innovations, every place and person added a new dimension to her understanding of business and life.
