Become a Badass: A Step-By-Step Guide to Living Your Best Life is a self-help book by Jen Sincero.

She explains that “Game” is not having luck with the ladies, but rather your ability to find success in any situation by positively affecting other people’s lives.

If you’re having trouble finding the motivation to improve your life, this book is meant to change that. In it, I’ve broken down 30 simple lessons that any person can learn in less than 2 minutes each.

Can you learn how to be a badass?

Let’s start by looking at some modern-day examples like Daniel Craig, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elon Musk, and JK Rowling.

These people are not admired because of what they are, or where they came from.

They are respected because of what they do, and what they accomplish.

They don’t sit down. They don’t shut up. They make big moves, and they raise others along with them.

Do you know what the least interesting thing about them is?

Their average – or slightly below average –  beginnings.

These badass humans weren’t born. They were made. Through the challenges they faced in life and those they set for themselves, they became icons.

These people have grown to see obstacles as opportunities to learn. They see goals, and they’re willing to do just about anything to get there. This is also one of the characteristics of a leader.

That’s not to say you should trample everyone in your path — you can be a source of inspiration. People who stand up for what’s good and right, despite the risks, are true badasses.

Badassery isn’t a quality that’s easy to come by. It’s earned by perseverance and struggle. It’s granted only in pursuit of a vision that’s bigger than the person who imagines it.

So yes, you can learn how to become a badass. It’s a journey that you can begin right now.

Step 1: Be true

be true and be a badass

One thing you notice right away about badass people is that they are unapologetically themselves — uncompromising.

That doesn’t come easily to many people. Standing out is impressive when you’re successful, but what about before that?

It’s just being weird. It often leads to negative judgment and even discrimination.

Just think about the online abuse people like Serena Williams endure, for their appearance and attitude. The traits that make her badass, also make her a target.

Showing your true self also opens up the possibility of disappointing people you love. There are so many outside expectations to live up to. You want to make your parents proud, excel at work, make your partner and children happy.

For example, imagine telling people you are about to walk away from a respectable career to start a mountain trekking business:

  • Your parents: “Sure, just throw away that degree.”
  • Your spouse: “Nope.”
  • Your friends: “Have you lost your mind?”

The thing is, getting caught up in other peoples’ expectations makes you forget to live your truth. You lose sight of your values. You slip into earning validation instead of developing what makes you unique.

In fact, you may not even know what makes you unique. Your first step to becoming more badass is finding out who you are. How do you define success? This is much more important than what you think other people want for you.

In short, you need to learn how to find your purpose in life.

One of my biggest regrets is that I didn’t get a chance to live my life on my own terms. I was always good at feeling sorry for myself, making excuses instead of doing the things I really want to do.

Seriously, though. I’ve gone through the ingredients myself, and I’m still using them to this day.
