Agent You by Nicole Lynn is a motivational and action-oriented book designed to help its readers become their own most effective advocates。 Each chapter is designed to help the reader learn a new theme pertaining to professional and personal advancement and includes activities to further reinforce the chapter’s message。 Lynn uses a mixture of personal testimony and life coaching to illustrate her lessons in practice。 The book imparts important and effective tools for developing a better attitude Agent You by Nicole Lynn is a motivational and action-oriented book designed to help its readers become their own most effective advocates。 Each chapter is designed to help the reader learn a new theme pertaining to professional and personal advancement and includes activities to further reinforce the chapter’s message。 Lynn uses a mixture of personal testimony and life coaching to illustrate her lessons in practice。 The book imparts important and effective tools for developing a better attitude toward achieving one’s goals， but Lynn makes clear from the outset that it is written as a book meant to get its reader to take action。 While the general lessons were helpful， I mainly enjoyed the autobiographical chapters of the book because they humanized Lynn and really helped illustrate how she put the lessons she learned into practice。 The “Mamba Mentality” and the “Fail Forward” lessons were particularly inspiring; in the world of sports business， these were two very important and powerful messages。 We often only get to see the “highlight reels” of our heroes’ lives， so reading about her failures makes you appreciate her success even more。 The self-help style of the book is helpful for those who are genuinely lacking and/or searching for guidance with: getting to the next level in their careers， finding their purposes， and finding motivation to conquer their own obstacles。 。。。more

"You will lose， but you win when you keep going。" （Nicole Lynn）I had the pleasure of reading this book a couple of weeks ago， and it is filled with practical advice and wise insight， especially for those of us who are overcome with the magnitude of things we must do in order to pursue our dreams。。。or sometimes even just to survive。We get caught up in how much needs to be done and temporarily conquered by the What Ifs and How Longs， but Nicole reminds us to start where we can with what we have。 S "You will lose， but you win when you keep going。" （Nicole Lynn）I had the pleasure of reading this book a couple of weeks ago， and it is filled with practical advice and wise insight， especially for those of us who are overcome with the magnitude of things we must do in order to pursue our dreams。。。or sometimes even just to survive。We get caught up in how much needs to be done and temporarily conquered by the What Ifs and How Longs， but Nicole reminds us to start where we can with what we have。 She gives great advice on how to do that， no matter where you are， what you have （or lack）， or what you want to do。There are so many quote-worthy lines， paragraphs， and CHAPTERS in this book， but this one resonated with me so much。 I feel like I've lost over and over and over， no matter how hard I work to heal， to grow， and to move toward my purpose。 I often feel like I'm running against the clock and I'm going to lose to it too。 So on the very day I read this line， I desperately needed this reminder。I've already begun the "homework" inspired by her book and taken small steps toward goals which have overwhelmed and held me captive me for quite some time now。If you're feeling stuck， need motivation， or just want to hear more about Nicole's journey， this book is well worth your time！ 。。。more

First of all Let Me Say Bravo Mrs。 Lynn。 I have followed this woman's career since the beginning and to read the book was an honor。 I didn't realize everything she went through to be the successful person she is。 I wanted to be an agent and worked with agencies but didn't have a law degree and honestly wasn't going back to school at my age to get one。 Instead I opened a few businesses。 a sports relocation business， got my appraisal license and now my beauty company。 This book helped me in my dri First of all Let Me Say Bravo Mrs。 Lynn。 I have followed this woman's career since the beginning and to read the book was an honor。 I didn't realize everything she went through to be the successful person she is。 I wanted to be an agent and worked with agencies but didn't have a law degree and honestly wasn't going back to school at my age to get one。 Instead I opened a few businesses。 a sports relocation business， got my appraisal license and now my beauty company。 This book helped me in my drive to make these businesses a success。 I even stepped out and got married after 7 months of dating。 This book lit a fire that was truly needed and appreciated。 This book is the support on paper needed。 The questions within the book make you think and truly evaluate your life。 Thank you Nicole Lynn。 Thank You for letting the world in 。。。。。。 。。。more

As a single mother of one， an educator， a current doctoral student trying to navigate life's future course， along comes Nicole Lynn and her book titled "Agent You，" drawing a blank to who Nicole was even though someone told me to follow her on Instagram。 Undoubtedly the best decision was made by following her on social media; thank God I stumbled upon Nicole; from her life story to her classic powerful career moves and career transformation for women of color， she gave this reader hope that at a As a single mother of one， an educator， a current doctoral student trying to navigate life's future course， along comes Nicole Lynn and her book titled "Agent You，" drawing a blank to who Nicole was even though someone told me to follow her on Instagram。 Undoubtedly the best decision was made by following her on social media; thank God I stumbled upon Nicole; from her life story to her classic powerful career moves and career transformation for women of color， she gave this reader hope that at any age or stage， anything is possible by putting God first and following those gut instincts。 The introduction of "Agent You" starts as a page-turning profound look into how human and relatable she is for anyone growing up with or without the best of both worlds。 A self-help book is not the word to define this book more like a guide to envision God's plan by trusting the process sharing the sauce she speaks of without hesitation。 Knowing what it is to be broke or not giving 100% to something， then jotting down why even do the things we do in the first chapter， was life-changing。 What resonated with the most was these four believes Nicole simplified in her book for finding one's purpose， giving them the name of the "Four Somethings，" Something Good， Something Enjoyable， and Something Impacting the World， Something Free， using those as a way to set daily goals is simple and easy to remember。 Grab a copy of the book; being fortunate to start the advance copy was worth every minute， telling everyone how inspiring her story is more uplifting than saying she is the top female sports agent; Nicole has a story beyond this book simply from the introduction， which has helped doors open just by taking notes。 。。。more

I read Agent You at the perfect time。 I have been stuck in a rut for almost a year now。 I have big dreams and aspirations to work in sports someday， but I haven’t had the motivation to make those dreams happen。 That was partly because I didn’t know where to start， but this book was the push that I needed。 I have long suffered from imposter syndrome and this book is exactly what I needed as a reminder to go out and fight for me and to not settle。 I have looked up to Nicole Lynn for a few years no I read Agent You at the perfect time。 I have been stuck in a rut for almost a year now。 I have big dreams and aspirations to work in sports someday， but I haven’t had the motivation to make those dreams happen。 That was partly because I didn’t know where to start， but this book was the push that I needed。 I have long suffered from imposter syndrome and this book is exactly what I needed as a reminder to go out and fight for me and to not settle。 I have looked up to Nicole Lynn for a few years now， but I thought what she had was basically unattainable for me。 So， I am extremely grateful that she wrote this book。 It is a blueprint for people to go after what they want， achieve their goals and be their own agent， just like she did。 This is definitely a book to take lots of notes on and to re-read multiple times。 Even if you aren’t struggling like me， this book has so many great gems to take away about your career， your dreams and just life in general。 I will be telling everyone I know to buy a copy！ Thank you， Nicole， for writing this book！ It will change lives; it has already changed mine！ 。。。more

“Where you are going in life， everyone cannot come with you。” -Nicole Lynn This book offered so many gems but the above quote really made me sit up straight in my seat。 Agent You is more than just a personal testimony and， “self-help” book。 It is a book that really spoke to my spirit as I read the many pages。 Prior to this read I was not too familiar with Nicole Lynn but as I read， I felt like I was able to gain some great tips and life lessons on owning and becoming my own agent in life。 Nicole “Where you are going in life， everyone cannot come with you。” -Nicole Lynn This book offered so many gems but the above quote really made me sit up straight in my seat。 Agent You is more than just a personal testimony and， “self-help” book。 It is a book that really spoke to my spirit as I read the many pages。 Prior to this read I was not too familiar with Nicole Lynn but as I read， I felt like I was able to gain some great tips and life lessons on owning and becoming my own agent in life。 Nicole provides great recommendations along with actual tasks and steps to do。 The many topics include self-care， obtaining a seat at the table， owning your authentic self， staying ready， etc。 so many great topics！ The book is really easy to read and the topics were relevant to the world we live in。 I am thankful for NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC。 。。。more
