Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m an author, personal development blogger, and entrepreneur. I have written one book so far called “The Destiny Formula,” and it’s about how to find your life’s purpose.
I am a believer in lifelong learning. My two main hobbies are reading and writing. If it were up to me I would spend my entire day doing both of those things.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is “The Destiny Formula.” It was inspired by some of the things I feel are wrong with the society we live in today.
I believe each of us were put on this planet for a reason and that we’re all called to do something unique. Unfortunately, the society we live in promotes conformity and attempts to make us all act, think, and behave the same way.
It seems to me like many people aren’t living out their purpose. They’re stuck in a path that was chosen arbitrarily. They’re not excited to wake up in the morning. They’re not living life in its truest sense.
I wrote the book to help as many people as possible break their way out of a broken system. I wrote it to inspire people and give them the courage and motivation to pursue the path they were destined for.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I wouldn’t say they’re unusual. I write in the mornings when I first wake up. I’m a useless writer at night time. I also drink an entire pot of coffee before I write.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’ve read so many books it’s hard to narrow down the list. But if I had to choose a couple I would go with “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” by Robert Kiyosaki, “Zero to One,” by Peter Thiel, and “The One Thing,” by Gary Keller.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on promoting the book I just recently published. After that’s done I will immediately begin to write my next book. The next book is going to be about the life skills we need for success that aren’t taught in traditional schooling.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use guest posts on blogs with large audiences for promotion. Paid promotions are another tactic I use as well.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
In the words of Seth Godin, “Ship. Ship even if it sucks.” You have to get your work out there. You’ll want to make it perfect before you share it with the world, but you can’t keep hiding forever.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Stop doing sh** you hate.”
What are you reading now?
“Antifragile,” by Nassim Taleb. It’s a beast of a book. I’ll probably have to read it over three more times before I’m able to fully grasp the concepts in it.
What’s next for you as a writer?
More books. My goal is to write one book per year until I’m dead.
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?
“The Alchemist,” by Paulo Coelho, and the first three Harry Potter books.
