Summary
In Believe IT， Jamie Kern Lima， founder of IT Cosmetics， shares the wild but true story of how a once struggling waitress turned her against-the-grain idea into an international bestselling sensation， eventually selling the company for over a billion dollars and becoming the first female CEO of a brand in L’Oréal’s 100+ year history。 Faced with self-doubt， body-doubt， God-doubt， down to her last few dollars and told: “No one is going to buy makeup from someone who has your body，” Jamie reveals for the first time what really went down， how she almost didn’t make it， and the deeply personal and powerful business lessons you can use to go from underestimated to unstoppable。 With radical vulnerability and honesty， Jamie also shares deeply personal stories of heartbreak and resilience—including accidentally finding out that she was adopted when she was in her twenties， and the reverberations this has had on all aspects of her life。 Spellbinding， riveting， with raw vulnerability， and down-to-earth warmth， Believe IT shakes your soul and shows you that you， too， have what it takes to achieve the impossible。

I had no idea who Jamie Kern Lima was until last October when I heard her speak at the KBB World Summit。 After she mentioned she had this book coming out， I knew I needed to read it， as well as be part of the Launch Team somehow - which happened， so I have had a wonderful advanced reader copy （ARC） to enjoy。 She brings her authentic self to the forefront in this book filled with all of her lessons and steps forward and backward as well as her faith and trust that her vision was meant to be。 I la I had no idea who Jamie Kern Lima was until last October when I heard her speak at the KBB World Summit。 After she mentioned she had this book coming out， I knew I needed to read it， as well as be part of the Launch Team somehow - which happened， so I have had a wonderful advanced reader copy （ARC） to enjoy。 She brings her authentic self to the forefront in this book filled with all of her lessons and steps forward and backward as well as her faith and trust that her vision was meant to be。 I laughed （squirrel is all I am saying） and cried where her story so deeply resonated with mine。 She is a woman who brings scrappy and authentic to the forefront of how to get things done AND keep your compassion versus hardening your heart as so many women tend to do。 She shares her life， and those of her loved ones， with allowing every word to lead to the concept of a way to keep going when you can't。 。。。more

I received an early preview copy of this book for promotional purposes。 I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book。I remember the first time I saw Jaime on QVC。 I was flipping the channels and went back to QVC because I could instantly tell that Jaime was set apart from other presenters I had seen before。 There was an authenticity， vulnerability， and rawness to her。 I immediately connected with her message and her cosmetics line。 I was thrilled when I discovered she wrote a book。I loved this book ri I received an early preview copy of this book for promotional purposes。 I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book。I remember the first time I saw Jaime on QVC。 I was flipping the channels and went back to QVC because I could instantly tell that Jaime was set apart from other presenters I had seen before。 There was an authenticity， vulnerability， and rawness to her。 I immediately connected with her message and her cosmetics line。 I was thrilled when I discovered she wrote a book。I loved this book right away。 I felt like I was listening to Jaime tell these stories in person instead of reading about them。 She shares the good and the bad and the how all these experiences propelled her forward in her purpose。 The thing I love most about this book is that different parts of the book will stand out for different readers。 We each have our own unique path， direction， and purpose。 I am thankful to Jaime for writing this book， sharing her struggle and heart with us， and helping others gain the tools they need to achieve their dreams！ So many people will benefit from reading this book！ 。。。more

This is a review of Netgalley copy that I received in advance of the publishing date - that I paid for by being a part of the author's "pre-launch team。"Until January， I'd never heard of Jamie Kern Lima。 On New Year's Day， I watched an all-day motivational online program from Brandon Burchard， ONLY because Mel Robbins was on it， and I like Mel Robbins。 The program line-up included Jamie Kern Lima， founder of IT cosmetics。 At the time， I was like， "Cool。 Successful female entrepreneur" and moved This is a review of Netgalley copy that I received in advance of the publishing date - that I paid for by being a part of the author's "pre-launch team。"Until January， I'd never heard of Jamie Kern Lima。 On New Year's Day， I watched an all-day motivational online program from Brandon Burchard， ONLY because Mel Robbins was on it， and I like Mel Robbins。 The program line-up included Jamie Kern Lima， founder of IT cosmetics。 At the time， I was like， "Cool。 Successful female entrepreneur" and moved on。 Then I started seeing Facebook ads for her "launch team" for her book。 What pulled me in was the activity book/journal to use with the book and a program from her。 I'm a sucker for activity books/journals and online personal development programs if they have some validity。 In this case， she was a successful entrepreneur who hadn't inherited a business or wealth。After looking at the launch team goodies， I decided to spend the money on the Kindle version， which would give me access to a Netgalley copy。Here's the review:It's an easy read， and she， or her ghostwriter， is a good writer。Yes， there's some God talk， and a lot of it。 I suspected as much when I saw that she had Victoria Osteen as a speaker on her free all-day online "pump you up" presentation on February 22， 2021， the day before the book was available。 （It became available today。） There's a whole chapter devoted to her definition of her faith。 It's light on Jesus， no mention of Christ， and all God light。 Just putting that out there for those who want to know。 By praising Osteen， I knew what kind of mentality I was dealing with。My takeaway is this: She's worked very hard for a long time to be where she is。 She also probably couldn't have done it without her husband， Paulo， whom she met when they were both at an elite business graduate school。 Over at least a decade， they put so many hours in that they didn't spend time with family， they didn't spend time together as a married couple， and their physical health was in tatters for years。 You may be a business success， but what does that say about your life？ That's not my definition of a successful life。 She may have the time and money now to live life， but there was no guarantee that this would happen， and that after 40， she could finally start truly living。 Also， she does touch on her and her husband's addiction to work。 That's definitely something that they need to work on。 Addiction in any form isn't healthy。 I'm curious to know what they were both running from by being workaholics。 Typically， if you have one addiction， it will transfer to something else if not dealt with。 If you're looking for a "how to be a business success，" from this book， let me save you some time and money。 These are the book's takeaways on that topic: learn business， develop and protect a product， develop a good story about the product， have a partner who's willing to work for free， and be willing to dedicate your life's energy and time so that your business might be a success。While she does spend a lot of time talking about "raise up the women in your life，" which is inspiring， it's a bit light on that， and I'm probably going to read the Sallie Krawcheck book。It's also a memoir， with a lot about her struggle to deal with being "given up" at birth， even though she was adopted into a loving family that could take care of her。 I really hope that she's sought counseling from a licensed clinical counselor and not just a "pastor" to deal with her issues related to being "given up。" She doesn't have issues with being adopted， she has issues with being "given up" by an 18-year-old girl who became pregnant after a one-time sexual act back in the 1970s。 Her lack of compassion and understanding for a girl who found herself pregnant and scared in the 1970s was appalling to me。 Her wanting to be held like a baby （as an adult woman in her 30s or 40s） by her birth mother was troubling。 Her chat room on Facebook tends to be adoring fans who are familiar with her as a product - not her cosmetic line， which is baffling to me。Do I regret spending the money for access to the Netgally copy？ No。 It definitely shows that hard work and many sacrifices are probably necessary for a start-up to be successful。 I'm looking forward to seeing this 5-lesson program she created because the one thing that comes across is "You must believe in yourself， even when no one else does，" even though in her case， she also had an incredibly dedicated husband who she definitely gives credit to for her success。Who is this book for？ I'm not sure。 I read it because I'm looking at starting a business， and I wanted to be inspired by a successful female entrepreneur who wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth。 。。。more

Have you ever read a book so profoundly impactful that you’re not only still thinking about it after finishing— you’ve got a clear and soul-filling sense that it’s going to influence your life for years to come？ Yup— that’s how I feel about Believe IT。Unlike some personal development books that flirt with the memoir genre， Jamie gets vulnerable in a cogent， meaningful way that illuminates her learnings。 I found the narrative well-balanced， with vividly recounted memories lending needed layers to Have you ever read a book so profoundly impactful that you’re not only still thinking about it after finishing— you’ve got a clear and soul-filling sense that it’s going to influence your life for years to come？ Yup— that’s how I feel about Believe IT。Unlike some personal development books that flirt with the memoir genre， Jamie gets vulnerable in a cogent， meaningful way that illuminates her learnings。 I found the narrative well-balanced， with vividly recounted memories lending needed layers to the Jamie Kern Lima story— nothing about the personal anecdotes she shares are there gratuitously。Sharing lessons learned through an often emotional （and nearly always relatable） look at significant life events， we get to know Jamie and understand the circumstances that shaped her and molded her mindset。 Reading about the failures， the closed doors， the successes， the triumphs— I found myself equally impressed as I was motivated。 And she says as much herself in the book— part of her objective in sharing her story is to uplift and inspire other women to get past self-sabotage， realize their potential， and become acquainted with their own strengths and ability to persevere。I received an advanced review copy of this book， courtesy of the Believe IT book launch team。 This post is adapted from my review originally published to i open boxes。 📚 Connect with me on Instagram 。。。more
