What does it take to achieve your personal and professional goals? When is the right time to take calculated risks, and how do you prepare for the moment when opportunity presents itself?

If anyone can show you how to do this, it's Nicole Lynn. As the first Black female agent to represent a top three NFL draft pick (landing quarterback Jalen Hurts a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles), Nicole worked her way from childhood poverty to become a Wall Street financial analyst, then attorney, and now top agent to elite athletes and entertainers.

In a male-dominated profession, her success was earned through a combination of hard work, preparation, self-advocacy, tenacity, and faith.

"In this book, Nicole reveals her incredible journey and how she got where she is today." -Gabrielle Union (from the foreword)

Agent You shares Nicole's key strategies for creating a plan and executing it, even in the face of self-doubt and external obstacles.

In Agent You, Nicole will teach you how to:

  • Discover and stay focused on your purpose.
  • Develop your personal brand and advocate for yourself.
  • Prepare for big opportunities.
  • Land your dream job.
  • Manage your workload and still prioritize self-care.
  • Each chapter includes exercises to help you implement the strategies presented, so you can start working toward your goals today. You define what success looks like, unlock a plan to succeed on your own terms.

    What will your legacy be? Regardless of what life's challenges you face, everyone can own their success story and walk in their purpose — and Nicole believes you are your best agent.

        Authenticity reigns. Lynn's life experience as a high-powered sports agent and attorney infuses almost every single sentence of this powerful business memoir, from her "dirt poor" childhood to her regret about her half-brother's death. This very honest (and sometimes painful) look at her 13 rules of the road starts with "find your purpose" and concludes with "curate your tribe." Lynn's "Purpose" chapter looks at Nelson Mandela's life with the intent of enabling others to find a cause/skill they're naturally good at, they enjoy, that makes an impact, and that they'd do for free. Every chapter following features her self-discovery: what Hail Marys (pivotal life-changing moments) mean, how a "me statement" will define you, why losing can be a good thing, when to let go and let God, and, in the end, how to identify true friends. Each chapter includes a number of exercises and questions, which are also gathered in one of the appendixes, lending readers a model to arrange (or rearrange) their lives.
