Are you ready to believe in you?

“Game-changing. Authentic. A must-read for every woman! Jamie is the real deal - and that’s rare.” (Glennon Doyle, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Untamed)

“Raw. Real. Powerful. Filled with vulnerability and grit. This book will inspire you to believe in your own power. It’s a book every woman needs!” (Sara Blakely, founder, Spanx)

Imagine overcoming the things holding you back, breaking through the barrier of self-doubt and fully becoming the person you were born to be!

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 best-selling sensation, eventually selling the company for more than 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, how she learned to trust herself, and the powerful lessons you, too, can use to go from underestimated to unstoppable.

With radical vulnerability and honesty, Jamie takes you on a journey through deeply personal stories of heartbreak and resilience - including accidentally finding out she was adopted when she was in her 20s and the reverberations this has had on all aspects of her life. Jamie also pulls back the curtain on her fight to change the beauty industry’s use of unrealistic images, on behalf of all the little girls who are about to start doubting themselves, and all of the grown women who still do.

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 believe in yourself, trust yourself, and go from doubting you’re enough to knowing you’re enough! Do you have big goals, hopes, and dreams but let rejection get in the way? Do you struggle with feeling like you’re not enough and like success is something that happens to other people, but have a hard time believing it’s possible for you? Do you let past mistakes and failures hold you back? Do you know deep down inside that you were created for more, but somehow still doubt yourself?

In Believe It you’ll discover how to...

• Overcome self-doubt
• Gain the courage to take risks and empower yourself and others
• Tune into and trust your own intuition
• Let go of your mistakes and insecurities
• Turn down the volume on your inner critic
• Handle the rejection, the haters, and the mean girls
• Boost your confidence
• Start your dream (and keep going!)
• And much more

​If you’ve ever doubted yourself or felt truly underestimated, this book will inspire a new kind of belief and confidence in you and your dreams!

Loved this audible. Listened in 2 days 😆

I listened to this entire book in 2 days — it’s that good. As a business owner who has just starting the physical product journey (but been in business on the service and e-product side for many years), there were many gems. 10/10 recommend.

WOW ... this book is changing my life!

I had purchased 3 Believe It books - 1 for me / 2 as gifts, but I was so excited to dive in that I ended up purchasing it here on Audible. All I can say is WOW ... this book has already changed my life in such wonderful ways and I'm learning, growing and implementing great new ideas into my businesses. I'm so inspired by the book that I'm starting a book club so that I can connect with like-minded people who want to implement positive change into their lives. Thank you, Jamie Kern Lima for writing this book and hosting the Becoming Unstoppable event for your book launch.

ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY LOVED IT!

This book was exactly what I needed to hear as a budding entrepreneur struggling with self-doubt and shame for not making the most of my opportunities. Jamie’s voice was loving and her message was so vulnerable, motivating, welcoming, funny and inspirational. Sharing her journey IN DETAIL is something that not many do and really put things into perspective for me. How did she do it? Now I know. Can I do the same? Maybe not in the same way, but I fully intend to figure out what magic I can create on my own. I’ve bookmarked so many parts and can’t wait to re-listen & read! I have the paperback version as well and am proud to display it near my desk as a reminder to Believe It. Thanks Jamie! xx, Omi

Authentic and inspiring

Janie is a gifted storyteller. She has a wonderful way of encouraging others while still being transparent and authentic about her past and present struggles. A must read for all women!

Will be coming back to this one

This is quite possibly one of the most important books I’ve ever read in my life. The lessons in it are profound and real. I highly recommend anyone who has ever struggled with self-doubt to read it. Even if you do not think you struggle with self-doubt you probably do and you still need to read this book.

Changed my mindset, changed my life

As business woman and founder of a company, this book changed my mindset and my life. I have experienced so many similar challenges as a woman in business and life, and felt like I was alone. especially when it came to the struggle to grow my business and keep that life balance.
Knowing that there are other business women and founders going through the same challenges, not only gives me a sense of hope and community but also inspires me to continue with my mission and vision. Thank you Jaime for sharing your story to inspire other woman that need it. like me.

I did not expect all that!

Thank you so much Jamie for this book! I pre-ordered it, but only just started listening a few days ago and the first sentence of the introduction had me hooked because its what Ive been told too and let hold me back for decades. Imagine if I didn't let it hold me back. Worse, imagine if YOU DID let it hold you back! This is perfect for those that need more confidence, but also those who think like the industry! I wish everyone that ever talks to anyone ever should read or listen to this book!! That would be everyone, lol. Thanks again girlfriend!

I genuinely felt your heart and soul.

Thank you Jamie for sharing your story, even the deepest part of you. I had so many moments while listening that I had to pause and re listen to take it in. I got so many powerful messages from your book. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to learn who you are, and to share this book with my daughter.

Inspiring!

I can’t say enough about this book except to say, i love it for being so real! It is timely to the current journey I’m on. God’s time, His direction, of course! You will love this book, trust me.

A must read for every woman with a dream!
