Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hey! I’ve written a few books mostly for friends about different things that I’ve learned, but this is the first ‘professional’ one that I’ve written.
This first book was more of a trial run to understand the process and was written more for myself than other people. But other people asked about it so I made it available.
The next one, you’ll already notice I’m excited about because you should be able to feel the excitement as you read the words on your screen and hear them echo in your mind as you read along!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Shocking Truth About Success: 6 Mindsets to Steal to Reach Your Goals
Since you’ve read this far you’ll already be aware of the fact that I wrote this book more for my own lust in achieving success. It’s not a long book, but it’s a collection of powerful mindsets that I’ve personally used in other areas of life to see results in.
I’ve seen other people get results using similar mindsets in different life areas, including business and distilled them down into a short book for anyone to get into.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
You’ll notice that I have a habit of overly describing things so that you can intuitively, logically and gradually understand every part of what I’m trying to describe.
For example, if I’m talking about this gooey, warm chocolate chip cookie that I’m eating I want you to smell the fresh sugar, feel the warmth of it in your hands and taste the melted chocolate as it hits your tongue.
I want you to be able to experience the events with me. Some people are into it and others aren’t.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Tony Robbins is a big one, as is Robert Greene.
Tony for his exemplary work and Greene for his absolute mastery in diving into a subject. The knowledge itself is a big inspiration for me and Greene delivers on that every time.
But Tony’s infectious spirit is hard to forget about.
What are you working on now?
Another book as well as my life coaching/writing business. Since you’re still looking at your screen and reading the words I’m typing, that means you must be somewhat interested in where you can find more!
You can find me at MasculineCasanova.com
The next book will be about how to cultivate respect and charisma in your daily life, naturally, intuitively and rapidly in ways that allow you to get what you want without being a jerk about it.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
This is still all so new to me! I’m not sure just yet!
I guess I’ll find out!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Consistency in your writing is much more important than just about anything else.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
That quote inspired a thought: you can either go after what you want in life and possibly get it or possibly fail. Or you can ignore your own desires and soil yourself in misery.
As for me, I’ve made my choice. I’m going after what it is that I desire.
What are you reading now?
Currently, I’m going over a course by David Snyder, and I’m re-reading The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene.
Finally, for fiction, I’m going over the series of Sherlock Holmes stories.
What’s next for you as a writer?
The next book as well as back to blogging!
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
How to Build a Boat; For Dummies
How to Make a Spear; For Dummies
How to Fish with a Spear; For Dummies
I have no idea if those are real books or not, but that’d be my choice lol.
