What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My books “7 Secrets to Success” which talks about how to achieve success in business and life and my second book “Beware Which Wolf You Feed “which is about happiness in every second of our life, are based on my theoretical and practical knowledge and have been written with the aim to help as many people as possible reach their goals and live their life to the fullest. I consider this being my personal mission. A mission is a statement of purpose and the purpose of life, in my opinion, is life of purpose. This is my purpose and I do hope that this book will change the lives of your esteemed readers as well. Success and happiness are rare things that multiply when giving away
