This month, Vitale & Company reread You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero. This book inspired our CEO, Vitale Buford Hardin, to take the bold leap into entrepreneurship, ultimately leading to the creation of Vitale & Company. As we celebrate our business anniversary this month, we wanted to highlight the book that sparked this journey—one that embodies empowerment, resilience, and taking action toward your dreams. As we at Vitale & Company continue to grow, we're excited to continue to help others discover their own power and potential.
Sincero’s book goes beyond typical self-help; it takes a mirror to your potential and reflects it back at you pushing you to look within yourself. It's real, raw, and focused on one key message: change starts with you. As Sincero puts it, “You need to go from wanting to change your life to deciding to change your life.” Inviting readers to adopt this mindset that "we live in a world of limitless possibilities," sets the stage for growth. To truly embrace Sincero’s wisdom, you must first accept that you create your own reality. As Sincero says, “You’ve spent a lifetime creating the one you presently have, largely based on your limiting beliefs.” Focusing on positivity and abundance can create the lives we truly desire, unlocking our full potential.
Real change requires bold action, stepping out of your comfort zone, and taking responsibility for what you can control. It’s about overcoming fear with gratitude and surrounding yourself with positivity, even when it feels uncomfortable. Sincero urges us to embrace self-confidence and break free from limiting beliefs: “You’re going to have to push past your fears, fail over and over again, and make a habit of doing things you’re not so comfy doing. You’re going to have to let go of old, limiting beliefs and cling to your decision to create the life you desire like your life depends on it.” It's about embracing an abundance mindset and taking responsibility for what you can control so that you can live the life that is in front of you. Sincero reminds us, “The life you want is right here, right now.” This book shows us how to escape cycles of self-doubt, discover our inner strength, and ultimately “kick some ass.” Sincero’s powerful reminder that “All of us are connected to this limitless power, and most of us aren’t using but a fraction of it” urges us to recognize our own potential and realize that it is within reach.
So, whenever you need a reminder of just how capable and powerful you are, pick up Sincero’s book and remember—you’re a badass!
