To my Grandma LaFave, whose dream to write became fulfilled in the next generation

Im a woman who works out on a regular basis. But the other day as I drug myself through my typical workout, something in me wanted to give up. I contemplated quitting the last five minutes of my workout when Nickis words about being a woman that doesnt quit rang in my head, A committed woman learns to choose what she wants most over what she wants now.

That day, I finished my workout because of what I had just read in 5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesnt Quit .

As a life coach, speaker, and Executive Director of Ministry Training, Im more passionate about transformation than just a lot of information . We can read books filled with great information; but if it doesnt lead us to become different and be transformed because of what we read, then its just a terrific story.

And thats what 5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesnt Quit offers transformation .

This book put practical application in my hands combined with biblical truth that will help me achieve my goals and live my best life. Whether you need to persevere through a hard marriage, career goals, or lose that last few pounds, this book will help you uncover the obstacles youre tripping over to cross your finish line.

The five habits that pour forth from Nickis teaching about Ruth take a familiar Bible story and shake out fresh insights that translate into real action in our lives.

Do you want to keep your word? Reach your goal? Stretch your comfort zone? Chapter after chapter will serve as motivation and wisdom.

Once you jump into these pages, you will find yourself wanting to call a girlfriend, coworker, or family member to share quote after quote that will challenge you and really make you think. Who doesnt love a book that naturally builds our private perseverance, but also creates the desire to share with those closest to us? Personal development and community building all in one resource!

I have watched Nicki struggle with giving up personally and professionally, yet muster up the courage, with Gods help, to conquer quitting. Even while writing this book, I know it would have been easier and more convenient for her to just put it off. But Nicki allowed me and others, to encourage her to the finish line. Shell do the same for you in this book, support you to finish!

The book youre holding is because Nicki is a woman who doesnt give up. Im so grateful she pressed on and you will be too.

Lisa Allen, Executive Director of Ministry Training at Proverbs 31 Ministries

To the Quitters,

I get you.

I am you.

I run when things get hard. I quit when I dont like how things are turning out. The thought of staying planted anywhere makes me feel like its going against the grain of who I am. In fact, this book youre holding almost didnt happen.

Because hello, my name is Nicki, and Ive quit everything. Im not even exaggerating.
