Oh SLAP!
The #1 Guide to Making Better Decisions and Living a Self Empowered Life
—- Lori Gentles
Oh SLAP!
Oh SLAP! Is an inspirational book about making better choices. It’s about self-leadership and self-empowerment in every aspect of your life. There are so many books written about leadership. Those books focus on a leader – someone other than you and what they need to do for others. This book is different, it is unconventional, and it focuses on the reader as leader – accountable for their own destiny and leading themselves. This book will not let the reader escape the concept of total personal responsibility for the outcomes in their life. Excuses are useless and reinforce entitlement and victimhood. Words are not minced in this book. It’s a dose of tough love with the goal of awakening the inner spirit of individual greatness. Hence the title Oh SLAP! It’s like a swift but loving slap on the face intended to wake the reader, and motivate them to fulfill their dreams. My intention is to inspire, give hope, activate your power of iChoice and help you achieve freedom (mental, time, financial), which is priceless. At the end of the day I want us all to be better versions of ourselves.
What led you to write this book?
This book has been a labor of love. It is an inspired message. The message is simple (take responsibility for yourself) but unfortunately the message is not widely lived. It’s often easier to blame others for our plight in life instead of doing the hard work of self-reflection, self-development. Being in the people business my entire career, I have seen too many people spend their days and years being stuck, unhappy and complaining about their situation. They don’t feel empowered. They wait on others to empower them – failing to to realize that they can empower themselves. Empowerment is a mindset, a state of being. Empowerment simply means you embrace your power. One dictionary definition says empowerment is the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one's life and claiming one's rights.
