Fear Is My Homeboy: How to Slay Doubt, Boss Up, and Succeed on Your Own Terms

The media could not be loaded.  This book is everything I needed and more. I started my small business in February and I almost gave up so many times. Once I purchased this book it was almost like Judi made this book for me and me only. So many gems, so many things that “you need to hear”. Every chance that I get I drown myself in her words of encouragement. If you’re ready to hold yourself accountable and make fear your homie ? This is the book for you small quote “you must brace yourself for the tough stuff, no one gets out of this life alive”

I’ve really struggled to find a personal development book that I enjoyed reading. Someone recommended this book, so I bought it and gave it a shot.It is because of this book that I have said yes to things that scare me. It is because of this book that I crave personal development.It is written like Judi is your bestie telling you some hard truths!! So many mix drops!I definitely recommend for anyone just starting their personal development reading journey!

Thank you for changing my belief system! I feel that I am on the right path in life and have the proper tools!

I’ve had so many ah ha moments with this book and I’m not even finished! I saw Judi’s keynote at my work convention and knew I had to get this book! It did not disappoint. Be ready for some Truth Bombs!

I first met Judi at MPI WEC in Las Vegas 2017 and have been following her journey closely since then. I have been eagerly anticipating her book release and when it arrived I was thrilled. There were many favorite parts of the book but let me highlight my top 7:1) I love how Judi uses a variety of quotes to start off each chapter. I am a sucker for a good quote.2) I really appreciated the stories that Judi used throughout the entire book from her personal experience as well as observations she had from her peers and mentors. It gave the book a much more "real" feeling that other books which stay at too high a level and are impersonal.3) I also respected how Judi consistently gave different mentors and authors credit when she discussed successful strategies and action plans she learned and practiced. Loved that.4) The chapter on saying "YES" to a variety of opportuntiies that come to you when they come really resonated with me. I find too many people say "NO" and then regret it lately and this chapter hit home. Ironically, I have already been practicing this mindset for several years and reading it in the book made me nod my head and whisper "I knew I was on the right path."5) I also enjoyed how each chapter had a theme and the final chapter tied all the themes back together with definitive action steps and suggestions. Excellent way to tell the story.6) I could relate to the different times Judi would mention that even though she didn't have a strong relationship with her mom, she still was able to find a maternal role model and did not allow this to stop her from succeeding. Another very real and relatable element of the book.7) Finally, I love that Judi is unashamed for her love of hip-hop (I love hip-hop too) and spoke about how when she finally embraced this love, she was able to really find her ideal clients and her tribe. Great quick story that makes me love the story even more.I highly recommend the book and will be adding it to my Reading LIst for my college classes. Can't wait for the next book!!

Initially I got this book because it was super cute and it was a “self help book” but didn’t think I’d really care too much for it because I had just recently started back reading books for the first time in years. Definitely a great read for those that need that external motivation to get over the jump in their lives that keep them from moving forward toward their goals. I’d 10/10 recommend!

Such a good read. So many reminders and gentle pushes to do the things in your life that you’ve pushed pause on. This one is going back on my shelf to reread when I allow myself to get stuck in the fear mud again.

I could not have stumbled upon this book at a better time in my life!It's a must read for anyone that's ever felt doubtful or encountered any fear of makung any choice, in any point of their life (which is EVERYONE). 😀

This book has honestly been the best read in a long time for me.⁣I’m pretty confident and will talk under water to anyone who will listen 😜 or so I thought.. ⁣⁣I love helping people - I’m the type of person who gets more enjoyment from giving presents than getting them or helping people with transformations.⁣⁣But lately, when it comes to helping people in a business sense, I shy away. ⁣⁣This book taught me that we make up stories in our head about what people think, or why certain things occur when in actual fact, that’s not the case. ⁣We then get crippled by these stories and hide behind that fear.⁣⁣Fear is my Homeboy has taught me to recognise the BS I tell myself and thrive off that feeling to grow -I can’t recommend this book enough!

This book came at the recommendation of a friend - an action which in and of itself lives out the momentum message of its content. Naturally prone to high levels of anxiety, and self-doubt, this book has been both needed and practically empowering. The authenticity of the author’s heart leaps off the page and it’s impossible for your mindset not to be shifted! I am grateful for the encouragement in Holler’s words; my flamingo pink highlighting as I went through will allow me to return to affirmations enabling me to consistently reframe my mind in a state of courage and belief.

I am loving this book :) It was a recommendation from my own coach so I started listening to the podcast then finally got the book, i can hear Judi's voice as I read because its written like she's talking to you herself- just genuinely her...so positive, bubbly. I DMd Judi for advice and she replied so fast with a lovely voice note which just proves her commitment and love for helping people 💖
