I’ve been a fan of Jamie’s brand for years but had no idea how she started out. This book is part memoir and part advice. It gives you examples of how perseverance pays off. I found it insightful and easy to easy. It was like having a conversation with a girlfriend. This book will linger with you after you finish.

I love Jamie's story, and her words are encouraging and inspirational, especially for young female entrepreneurs. I did feel that some of it started to feel a bit repetitive, but the ideas and information were worth repeating. Overall, a very solid debut!

This book provided you with all of the information to believe in yourself. Jamie provides you with the skills to achieve what you set your mind to. It's like having a cheerleader and a life coach in your back pocket.

I found this book to be very inspirational. Having followed some of Jamie's career., without knowing how it started., getting the full picture just made me admire her even more. Our advercities. may not be the same, but Jamie makes me feel that I can reach my dream.

Such a motivating book from a lovely entrepreneur! This book shares just how real and beautiful Jamie is inside and out!

This book felt like Jaime was sitting down and having a conversation with me. I really enjoyed it. Some parts were a little too personal for me to connect to, but I did glean a few wisdom nuggets!

I love reading books by authors that I can relate to! Nothing is more discouraging than seeing some successful and feeling like everything was easy for them. I appreciate honesty and feeling like the author is a real person and not a glossy fake. Jamie struggled and worked hard for what she accomplished. Being able to believe in yourself is such an important thing! I've struggled with it for many years and really needed to read Believe IT!

Not only was I provided a free copy of Believe IT via Net Galley, I also participated in the Launch Team. Because of how good the book is, I ended up purchasing the audiobook and convinced the library where I work to purchase the book. Jamie's enthusiasm and inspiration is contagious. This book came out when the world needed positivity - in the middle of a pandemic. I've made changes in my life due to the uplifting message of Believe IT.

Before you pass over this book thinking it's just another book full of motivational mumbo-jumbo, do yourself a favor and don't! Jamie Kern Lima's story is relatable, fascinating, and powerful! Her journey from struggling waitress to multi-millionaire CEO and philanthropist is a must-read! Jamie shares her story with honesty and vulnerability, imparting the lessons she learned along the way. She doesn't gloss over the difficulties she experienced or the doubts she had. She shares it all - the good, bad, and ugly. This book is insightful, thought-provoking, and encouraging. You will come away inspired and motivated to pursue your own dreams. I loved it so much I gifted it to both my daughters.

I loved hearing Jamie Kern Lima talk at Rise. I researched her a little more and found her story to be amazing. I was so happy to hear that she was releasing a book about her journey. I love that she (and her husband) believed in herself when no one else did. I think this is a strong book about believing in your intuition and going for your dreams.

Life changing , empowering yourself to trust your gut and take the mic back. This are but a few of the many this bits of goodness Jamie sprinkle through Believe IT. Her authenticity in sharing her journey and light with the word is touching. Believe IT is a must read for anyone that has lost their spark or wants to reignite their passion for life.

Thank you Jamie Kern Lima

Inspirational story to read. Jamie is very relatable to the everyday person. A lot of relevant lessons to apply to life no matter what field or season you are in.

Themes, Elements & Review Notes:

Jamie has been through so much in her life. I appreciated the way she talks about her faith and her experiences in life. Jamie is an amazing example of resilience and strength. She’s been through so many things in her life and thrived through it all where others might have had a harder time overcoming; finding out she was adopted, having a few miscarriages to name a few and then pair that with consistently hearing the word “no” in the first years of owning her own business.

Authenticity is a big theme throughout the book. Truly caring about her customers and knowing that her products were changing people’s lives is what continued to drive her to success. Believing in herself and her products and their overall mission and purpose played a huge role in her success. Themes include believing in yourself, lifting others up and paying it forward and the importance of having drive and determination to help you achieve your goals. This book also addresses the stigma surrounding mental health and the importance of making it something to not be embarrassed about.

Overall this book was enjoyable and inspiring. It doesn’t have clear guidance or steps to take the route that many self-help books take, but rather you find inspiration in her stories throughout. One great takeaway was Jamie’s idea of her ‘toolbox’. I especially loved the story about meeting Oprah and Jamie’s thing about the squirrel photo. No spoilers, you just have to read it!

Reading tip: The audiobook is narrated by the author so I’d highly recommend you tune in for the audio version!

In a Nutshell: Enjoyable and filled with so many inspiring soundbites. Doesn’t offer clear steps but offers a plethora of inspirational stories.

The journey Jamie takes you on is amazing. You will laugh, you will cry, you will lean to be the squirrel, but most importantly, you will learn to believe in yourself and know that you are truly unstoppable!

Great book by Jamie Kern Lima! I loved how she wrote about her journey and how relatable it was.

It really inspires you to really believe in yourself and that you can do it! Sometimes it is hard to really believe in yourself with all the self-doubt and pushback there is in the world, but Jamie proves that it can be done!

Get one of these for each of your girlfriends! I think even your guy friends can learn a thing or two.

I enjoyed reading Jamie's story. She opened up in detail her path to turning a dream to a reality. I appreciate the hardship, trials, and celebrations she shared within her life. It is a great reminder to anyone that life is a path unknown. Be willing to be flexible, take risks, and learn from your failures. Jamie story is a great reminder that nothing good happens overnight-its boring: filled with daily habits, routines, and coaching yourself to keep going!

This book is fabulous! It helps you to realize you can do anything to make up your mind to do. I loved reading about how Jamie over come rejection so many times but ended up coming out on top. This book has really helped me realize I can do more than I realize with the right mindset.

Book is extremely well written and addresses many of the topics relevant in today’s world, especially for women. It is encouraging in nature and gives the reader the opportunity to put into action steps to make those changes. The author has written it in a motivating tone that leaves the reader feeling better about themselves. I have followed Jammie Kern Lima for years and I am thrilled she has given people an in-depth view of her life, struggles and success.
