What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book, “How to Be a Self-Made Millionaire: What Are the Secrets of Success?” was written for those who dream of financial freedom and success and those who look at successful people and wonder what the secret of their success is. In my book, I unveil the secrets to obtaining and maintaining wealth as I give practical and direct steps that anyone can follow to achieve success and amass wealth.
There are many out there who feel as though they can never achieve their goals. I want them to understand that everyone has the potential to achieve financial success if they are willing to put in the hard work and commitment. I want them to stop allowing fear and insecurity to hold them back from their dreams. I want to encourage them to take control of their present circumstances and their future! They can do that by following the steps I lay out in the pages of my book. They are the master of their own destiny. They can set the course for their own bright future, and they are my inspiration for writing this book.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love writing outdoors with a fresh muffin and a cup of hot coffee. I am also hyper-focused on providing value to others!
What are you working on now?
My third book, “Guiding the Next Generation to Thrive and Build Continued Success for Your Family Legacy,” is at the editor and will be in formatting next. I’m currently writing “Key Strategies to Encourage Your Children to Succeed and Learn to Flourish Independently.”
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I trust Nishoni Harvey to promote my books. She can be reached at HerUniqueStylePrints@gmail.com.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up! You can succeed at anything you set your mind to if you put your all in it. Set SMART goals, and work toward those goals. If you need someone in your corner to push you or to cheer you on, make sure you find that person and tell them exactly what you need! Otherwise, they won’t know, and if they don’t know, they can’t help you. Share the experience. Experience the moment. And never give up.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Treat your writing like a job. Schedule it into your day. Schedule your doctor appointments, shopping trips, and everything else around that time. It’s a non-negotiable block of time that is not to be moved or interrupted. It is “Writing Time.”
During “Writing Time,” turn off all interruptions. You are at work. Your job doesn’t allow you to be on social media, check personal emails, fraternize, make phone calls, or text; neither does “Writing Time.” This time is sacred. Keep it that way.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am turning my books into courses that will help others more.
