Although I enjoyed aspects of this book, it was not at all what I expected. For some reason I interpreted the title as being about ME/CFS. So, although surprised, I endeavoured to give the book a fair reading. I certainly admire the author for her strength of Will and perseverance in improving her life. The memoir aspect was the most enjoyable part of the book for me. However, the Christianity focus left me cold - sorry, not for me.
My thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for my honest review.

Tired of being Tired is 80% memoir, 2 % self help and %5 a straight sell.
Juliet Jones walks you through her life with Christ on her side. Mistake after mistake helps her build up to capturing he dream. The book tells you the step to your dreams as well as solicits you to one to her for help.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I came for the Christianity but was turned off by the selling certain people and certain systems. But Jones is so earnest in her story of her life, that it gave me some hope for my own life.

I don't know that I would recommend this to any one, but I did get some positive affects from reading it.

A little bit not as I expected, but I'll give it a go! I do like books where the author is straight forward, and here the author gives a lot of personal, intimate details. Overall a good book for the category

This memoir/self help book by Juliet Jones follows the author's growth in her personal and professional life. She starts out as the poor daughter of a single mom and ends up as one herself. Along with help from her family (and most particularly her mother) she strives for a better life for herself and her children. This includes moving repeatedly in order to better herself. This is one determined woman! She is a fighter who claws and scratches her way out of poverty in order to realize her dreams and who bases her life around her faith. Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this arc in exchange for an honest review!

Tired of being Tired was not exactly what I was expecting, nevertheless she had several good tips. The author describes her journeys as she tries to live out her dreams- the failures and successes and how she uses her faith to help her. She gives tips on how to help others take the leap to dare and live their dreams. Tips on networking, investing, marketing, ways to get passive income and more to help be a successful entrepreneur and keep yourself recharged. She talks about the importance of mental, physical, spiritual, emotional and financial health. Thank you to Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

What's certain about this book is that the author does not shy away from sharing her most personal struggles and joys and it makes this more of a personal conversation.
It was great learning about a new model the Dream-Build-Win model that she founded and how she uses it, and my motivation for reading this book was the desire to know how to step back and recharge. I've done this through sleep and listening to music, but now I am looking more for what would help generate income.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
