The middle finger project: trash your imposter syndrome and live the unf*ckwithable life you deserve
(Book)
"After a string of dead-end jobs and a death in the family, Ash Ambirge was down to her last $26 and sleeping in a Kmart parking lot when she faced the truth: No one was coming to her rescue. It was up to her to appoint herself. That night led to what eventually became a six-figure freelance career as a sought-after marketing and copywriting consultant, all while sipping coffee from her front porch in Costa Rica. She then launched The Middle Finger Project, a blog and online course hub, which has provided tens of thousands of young "women who disobey" with the tools and mindset to give everyone else's expectations the finger and get on your own path to happiness, wealth, independence, and adventure. In her first book, Ash draws on her unconventional personal story to offer a fun, bracing, and occasionally potty-mouthed manifesto for the transformative power of radical self-reliance. Employing the signature wit and wordsmithing she's used to build an avid following, she offers paradigm-shifting advice along the lines of: * The best feeling in the world is knowing who you are and what you're capable of doing. * Life circumstances are not life sentences. If a Scranton girl who grew up in a trailer park can make it, so can you. * What you believe about yourself will either murder your chances or save your life. So why not believe something good? * You don't need a high-ranking job title to be authorized to contribute. You just need to contribute. * Be your own authority. Authority only works as long as you trust that someone smarter than you is making the rules. * The way you become a force is by being the most radically real version of yourself that you can be. * You only have 12 fucks a day to give, so use them wisely"--

| 505 | 0 | |a The guest list -- The rules were made up by some guy named Ted who ate a quarter pounder for lunch and has a dog named Wedgie -- $50,000 and a corporate discount at Denny's is not the key to happiness -- You should not "stick it out" or "make the best of it" or "just be grateful you have a job" -- "Welcome to the real world" is tiny penis syndrome in disguise -- The old way of working is dead -- No matter where you're starting, you can start again -- New! How to find your passion in 52 easy steps -- Every good idea is offensive to someone -- The world does not already have enough writers, photographers, designers, artists, nipple piercers -- You must be brave enough to cause problems -- Advice for hitting rock bottom with grace -- Act as if you are already a highly paid assassin -- Imposter syndrome is the mean girl at the party (and we hate her) -- Please follow your most dangerous ideas -- Selling yourself requires you to insist on your own brilliance -- Mo' offers, mo' money -- Do not let them money-shame you -- Perfectionism is an occupational hazard -- We must learn to become mothers to ourselves -- Doing work you love requires you to be brutally honest about what you actually love -- Growth comes from finding generous ways to share your work -- Picket fences are not a dangerous idea -- Full permission to do the crazy thing -- You are allowed to be selfish -- Plans are overrated -- There's a lot that's going to suck about this. | |
