You Do You, A Book That Will Make You Feel More Confident

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. PLEASE READ MY DISCLOSURE FOR MORE INFO.

Last week I listened to the audiobook You Do You by Sarah Knight and I really needed it!

As a recovering perfectionist with the dream to live my life the way I intend to by creating my business I could totally relate to this book.

I am very open about my dreams and there’s something that I noticed when I talk to my family in France: they don’t believe that I should spend time doing what I want because they think that it’s unrealistic.

Well, after months of hard work and now that I can show numbers, yes they believe in my abilities.

I love to share my evolution with friends and family because I want to inspire them to be confident enough to follow their own dreams, no matter what people around them say!

And okay it feels good to say “See I told you I could make it happen!”

So if you feel like:

• you don’t have time to take care of yourself
• you feel the need to justify any decision you make
• stressed out because it’s not perfect
• your definition of success is different from the American dream (a good job, a beautiful partner, well-behaved kids, two expensive cars and a big house)
• you need a confidence boost
• people are not supportive of your life

You Do You is for YOU!

   • You should smile more (How to break free from the Cult of Nice.)
