Jacqueline Wales
- Founder and CEO of Fearless Fifties™ and The Fearless Factor™, motivational speaker and self-help expert

Being Fearless is not the absence of fear, but the choices and decisions we take as a result of facing our fears.

What if you could eliminate fear and stress in your life? How much happier would you be?

What if you could truly learn how to love yourself? How much closer would you be with a loved one?

What if you could go anywhere joyous and confident? How would confidence impact the decisions you face?
Learning how to create all this is what living your best life is all about.

The Fearless Factor is a timely the new self-help book from in –demand speaker and entrepreneur Jacqueline Wales. This guide helps women move from ?stuck in fear? to ?moving forward? with practical and inspirational advice on seizing the life they want – and know they deserve!

Packed full of stories from the trenches, and insight from women around the world who have ?been there, done that, The Fearless Factor is a must-have for women who are ready to confront their fears and move on to the next stage of living.

Using the jungle of life as her framework, Wales takes readers through the process of facing their biggest fears, whether they be related to money, relationships, career, age or motherhood, and gives prescriptive ways to overcome those fears and succeed in life.

From learning how to dump emotional baggage that is useless and potentially dangerous to succeeding at stepping away from needing jobs or people to fill them up, readers can learn to detach, let go, and trust their own instincts for what is good for them.

In The Fearless Factor you will learn how to:

Feel the Fear And Do It Anyway® – Fear is a natural emotion. The word fear is one of the strongest words in the human emotional language. We would rather say we are anxious, worried or nervous, than say outright we are afraid. Make a Commitment to Change – The only constant in life is change but most people avoid it because they think of it as unsettling, confrontational and uncertain. Making a commitment to change is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.

Know Your Outcome – What do you want? Setting priorities are essential. Knowing what it is you want to achieve is critical to your success.

Enjoy the Journey – Allow yourself time to explore. Change is a process that takes time to unfold. We take steps forward, and then we step back, so we are learning to dance with ourselves. Have the Right Attitude – Keep it positive and embrace the failures. Having the right attitude is critical. If you go around with negative expectations you’ll get negative results, but if you can create an expectation of good, then the odds are higher that you will achieve that.

Fear dominates headlines, drives decisions, and can prevent readers from achieving true happiness in everyday life. The Fearless Factor teaches them to face their fears head on and take control of their future.

About The Sari Shop Widow

thesarishopwidow

Pungent curry, sweet fried onions, incense, colorful beads, and lush fabrics – THE SARI SHOP WIDOW is a novel set on the streets of Edison, New Jersey’s Little India, where a young businesswoman rediscovers the magic of love and family. When Anjali Kapadia’s posh sari boutique in New Jersey is on the verge of financial ruin, her wealthy uncle from India comes to her rescue.

But the wily, dictatorial uncle arrives with some unpleasant surprises—a young Indo-British partner named Rishi Shah for one—and a startling secret that disturbs Anjali.

Falling in love with the mysterious Shah only adds to Anjali’s burgeoning list of complications. Torn between her loyalty to her family and her business on the one hand and her growing attraction for a man who could never fit into her life on the other, Anjali turns to her family and cultural roots to make a life-altering decision.
