Interview With Author Nathan Gewondjan
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. I was educated independently and, because of such have always been passionate about learning and freedom. I am a serial entrepreneur, investor, and best-selling author. I’m currently working on my next book which will be all about your purpose, why you do what you do, and why it’s so important to know.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Open-Minded Education: How to Do What You Love and Make Millions.
This book was inspired by my passion for doing what you love and pursuing your passion. I feel so many people don’t end up doing what they are passionate about because of fear that they won’t be successful. The premise of the book is that it doesn’t matter what you’re doing, it’s all about HOW you’re doing it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
When I write, I prefer to have movie soundtrack or some baroque period music playing in the background.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
As a teenager, I remember listening to Napoleon Hill’s book: Think and Grow Rich. This book had a huge impact on me. I also enjoyed book from Bob Proctor, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Wallace Wattles, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Robert Kiyosaki.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on writing a book about purpose. In it, I explain how to discover your purpose, why it’s important, and how to let it fuel your actions.
I am also teaming up with a friend in Ireland to write a book to inspire parents to teach their kids what they aren’t learning in school.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Thus far, the most effective means of promotion have been through Amazon ads, networking, and being on podcast shows.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Be patient. Be determined. Always be learning. If you put in the work now, it will be a lot easier down the road.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never, ever, ever give up. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. By small and simple things, are great things brought to pass. Consistently doing the little things every day, lead you to having massive success.
What are you reading now?
I am currently reading a book called: How to Read A Book by Mortimer J. Adler & Charles Van Doren.
What’s next for you as a writer?
My brother and I are getting ready to launch a series of online courses in tandem with the book Open-Minded Education to give our readers the opportunity to dive in a bit deeper in some of the concepts that will help them do what they love and make millions in the process. Along with this, we are publishing blog posts in line with the message of the book.
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 Holy Bible
The Book of Mormon
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
The Go-Giver by Bob Burg & John David Mann
