Book Club | Community promotes the idea of cultivating a positive mindset. Sincero encourages readers to focus on positive thoughts and to visualize their success, fostering a mindset that attracts positive outcomes. I know it can be easier said than done. • Take Bold Action: Readers are encouraged to take bold and decisive action to bring about the desired changes in their lives. Sincero believes that taking action is a crucial step toward achieving personal and professional goals. It doesn’t have to be BIG action. • Embrace Fear And Uncertainty: The book acknowledges that fear and uncertainty are part of life, but instead of avoiding them, Sincero suggests embracing these challenges as opportunities for growth. My takeaway: I originally read this book when I needed it the most. I was suffering from burnout and at an impasse in my career. It really spoke to me on overcoming the barriers I was setting and taking a chance on myself, and that brought me to where I am now. Hearing Joelly’s take of reading it at a similar struggling point in her career was a great way to reconnect with the messaging. So, if you are wanting something more in your career or your life, this could be the time to discover your inner badass. What should I read next? I have a pretty extensive library of business books that I’m excited to share with you, but I’m always looking for something new to read and to inspire me. If you have any suggestions for business books that are meaningful to you, please let me know at JGR@ppai.org, and after I give it a read, I’ll share my impressions in PPAI Magazine.

When I would work with distributors and suppliers to write their LinkedIn bios, one thing that came up constantly was how rarely we recognize how cool we and our stories are. This book will really help you actualize it. 10% OFF THRU 4.15.24 MUST USE PROMO CODE PP0324 10% off current website prices, does not apply to freight or additional charges Made in USA 15 Sq.
