Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m living in New Delhi, India with my wife and 2 teenagers. I contributed 19 years of my life in building a world class company from scratch. I was Executive Director of Ansun Multitech (India) Ltd (www.ansun.com) till 2005. The company was promoted by me in 1986 and from 3 employees we went up employing 772 people. I handed over this company to my brother and re-invented myself for the love of following my passion. I participate in Real Estate, Stocks, and now latest being Writing.
My maiden book “Print Your Own Money- A Wellness Guide to Financial Freedom” was launched worldwide in March 2014. The book is about educating my Indian countrymen to explore online business oppurtunities and become Entrepreneurs instead of exchanging their time for money. I’ve explained the process of changing the mindset and have explained the elements of a journey of creating wealth.
I’m writing my second book and shall be launching in July 2014.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Print Your Own Money- A Wellness Guide to Financial Freedom, is the name of my book. The inspiration of writing this book came to me after seeing the youth of our country migrating from rural place to big cities to earn money. Back home they’re landlords, owning land, but when they migrate to cities they become slaves and exchange their whole time for money. In today’s world so many wonderful opputunities exist for online businesses which just needs a laptop and an internet connection, and a lot of money can be created with those businesses. My idea is to awaken the youth of our country to migrate back and deploy their energies in developing such businesses and enjoy their life living with their loved ones.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes many of them. Being a new writer I lack discipline and waste lot of time in unproductive things. Another unusual habit is writing quickly and mindlessly at times.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I generally like to read growth-oriented books. I do not have any author whom I follow but I like reading motivational books. I also like reading about future.
What are you working on now?
A book on passive money creation. That is living life on your own terms and own pace.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Being a new author I am yet to learn about book promotion. But I’ve started advertising, lecturing in schools and colleges, and using promotional websites like yours for example.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never be in a hurry. Complete your mind mapping and work on individual chapters with 100% dedication.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Life is in your own hands so pave your life the way you want it. Never follow the crowd, rather follow your passions.
What are you reading now?
Lords of the Land by Dana L. Thomas. A very old publication of 1977 about how real estate developed in USA. I had bought this book in 1984 in New York, and lost it. I found the lost book recently so reading it thesedays. Times have changed but I’m enjoying it.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I plan to write half a dozen books in this year itself. The idea is to create passive money by way of royalty for my future.
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?
I’ll see that time. I like good reading material so I’ll mooch around that time, but let me get deserted on an island first.
