Liberate Your Business: A Radical Guide for Entrepreneurs Building Inside a Broken System is for people who started businesses to do meaningful, values-driven work—and then found themselves burned out, ashamed, and quietly wondering if they’ve become the very thing they wanted to resist.
If you’ve been told your exhaustion is a mindset problem, your boundaries are “bad for growth,” or that harm is just the unavoidable cost of entrepreneurship, this book offers a different truth: you are not failing. Business as we’ve been taught is failing you.
Written for ethical entrepreneurs, feminist founders, and mission-driven business owners, Liberate Your Business draws on anti-capitalist, feminist, and liberatory frameworks to dismantle the myths of hustle culture, endless growth, and supposedly “neutral” systems. It shows how capitalism shapes our beliefs about productivity, leadership, worth, and success—and how those beliefs quietly reproduce burnout, inequality, and harm, even in well-intentioned businesses.
This is not a how-to guide for quitting capitalism or achieving moral purity inside a rigged system. It’s a grounded, honest guide for entrepreneurs who know opting out isn’t realistic, but refuse to keep operating on autopilot. Through sharp analysis, reflective exercises, and practical reframes, Becky Mollenkamp helps readers unlearn internalized capitalist conditioning and build businesses that prioritize human needs, collective well-being, and long-term sustainability—without pretending the system isn’t still broken.
Inside, you’ll find:
Clear language for the invisible pressures shaping modern entrepreneurship
Reframes that replace self-blame with systemic understanding
Practices for ethical leadership, consent-based decision-making, and accountability
Tools for redefining success beyond profit, productivity, and scale
Liberate Your Business is not about doing business perfectly. It’s about doing it consciously—with eyes open, values intact, and the courage to stop normalizing harm. For entrepreneurs who want to keep building, but not at the cost of themselves, their teams, or their communities, this book offers a way forward that is honest, humane, and deeply liberating.
