Agent You is a must read

Agent You is the best book I have read all year. It is chock-full of great advice. My book looks totally used with notes all through each chapter. I was truly conflicted reading the book, the questions and assignments are very thoughtful and useful. You want to pause to complete the questions, but you want to also forge ahead to finish the book. The content is fresh, and honest. Ms. Lynn reveals both her triumphs and her struggles in a way that is relatable, and real. I am going to take her advice and shoot my shot. I am looking forward to sitting down with her soon to discuss her book, life, and next level on my show Kicking It with Brother Smalls on YouTube. Agent You is a must read.

This book will change your life

It’s encouraging, motivating-contains raw, detailed events that occurred in her life that makes you say ‘Wow’. And you don’t have to be a sports enthusiast because it targets you as an individual reaching your highest potential in whatever field that may be. Nicole provides tips, advice and practical assessments to help you take control of your life and to alwaysbet on yourself! One of my favorite lines is when she says, “It’s not about do you have what it takes but are you willing to DO what it takes to be successful because success isn’t always pretty”. I can see myself reading this book again because it’s one of those type of books.

“We are the Secret Sauce”. #WomenInSports

“We are the Secret Sauce”. #WomenInSports || 10/10 Definitely Recommend Agent Nicole Lynn has been nothing but a ray of sunshine in my life since discovering her over two years ago. Not only have I been able to witness greatness in the making, I was able to discover my life’s purpose along the way. Realistically, it was not easy, however looking back, I could happily say that I conquered the trials and tribulations thrown in my direction, and will continue to do so. Emphasizing on how grateful I am, Nicole and her book, “Agent You” gives its audience the reassurance and guidance that is found to be essential in life. By reading page after page, she recites and utilizes her own personal experiences to tell her story, as well as laying out her blueprint to success for the readers. Agent Nicole Lynn capitalizes her mission of putting her supporters onto “free game”, which I am all for. She is a great inspiration of mine, and I will forever adore her and her work tremendously.

Easy, Yet Powerful Read

Agent You is beautifully written as it masterfully identifies, articulates, and explains the most prevalent challenges most of us face on the road to finding purpose and success. Nicole’s candor, authenticity, and vulnerability are refreshing and, certainly, appreciated in a world where façades are typically preferred to reality and lack of transparency often leaves us wondering, “am I the only one?” Truly, this book will count as an asset to all who turn its pages.

Purchase This Book

I love what Agent Nicole Lynn did here. The advice, the authenticity, and the task are so amazing. She truly wants to see everyone win. This book isn’t for individuals, who want to be agents. This book was created for moms, women, young adults, business owners, corporate employees, and people still trying to figure it all out.

Be Your Own Best Advocate

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.
