You Are a Badass <\/em>Author Jen Sincero “Took One for the Team”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You Are a Badass <\/em>author Jen Sincero was once unimpressed with her life. Sure, she had published a couple of books and had family and friends, but she wondered, \u201cIs this the best I can do?\u201d She was barely able to pay the rent each month, dated a series of \u201cweirdos,\u201d and wondered about her deeper purpose. Her life felt lukewarm with \u201coccasional flare-ups of awesomeness.\u201d Deep down she knew she was \u201ca total rock star,\u201d capable of a great relationship and doing important things professionally, but she just couldn\u2019t seem to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincero decided to make some serious changes to get her act together, committing to the process of creating a new, better life. She embarked on a self-improvement journey that was at times colorful. She tried a series of self-help methods, including seminars where she had to shout \u201cYou\u2019re awesome and so am I,\u201d along with writing a love letter to her uterus, bonding with her spirit guide, participating in a ceremony where she married herself, taking her inner child on a playdate, and spent money that she didn\u2019t have on life coaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Are a Badass <\/em>author Jen Sincero \u201ctook one for the team,\u201d in essence wading through all the good and bad of the self-help world for the rest of us to pull out the essential things that helped her make major shifts in her life. And it worked \u2014 she was able to get herself out of a rut and find personal and professional success. Within 6 months of her decision to change her life, she tripled her income by creating an online writer-coaching business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She decided to take every bit of useful self-help wisdom she found and share it with others via this book. So many people are unhappy and feel unfulfilled with at least some areas of their lives. This book\u2019s goal is to help people get clear about what makes them happy and feel most alive and give them the tools to go out and create the brightest, best, \u201cbadassiest\u201d version of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a New Life<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The good news: Creating a better life requires only one simple shift: Going from wanting<\/em> to change your life<\/a> to deciding<\/em> to change your life<\/strong>. Wanting is easy; you can want things while laying in bed or sitting on the couch watching TV.  Deciding<\/em>, however, means jumping in all the way and going after your dreams with, as You Are a Badass <\/em>author Jen Sincero puts it, \u201cthe tenacity of a dateless cheerleader a week before prom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a new life means doing things you never thought you\u2019d do, believing in things you can\u2019t see, and pushing past your fears while you stick to your decision. It will be challenging, but it\u2019s certainly better than living with regret, feeling that your life is passing you by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This process requires an open mind; you\u2019ll need to roll with some \u201cout-there\u201d methods, but living a life you\u2019ve never lived means doing things you\u2019ve never done<\/strong>. Besides, you got to where you are now by doing what you\u2019re doing, so it\u2019s time to change it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This world offers limitless possibilities for you. If you work hard, take some risks, and go for your dream, you can live the kind of life you used to be jealous of. You Are a Badass <\/em>author Jen Sincero was able to do it and so can you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
