Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an attorney and a businessman. I attended the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for both undergraduate (political science) degree and law school. Early in my career I practiced law with a small firm and as in- house counsel for several corporations in the Twin Cities. I have also owned several small businesses and worked for a number of other companies in Minnesota.
So far I have written and published two Kindle books on Amazon.com– both dealing with finding your calling, making a career plan and following the plan to achieve career success. I do not really consider myself to be an “expert” career counselor, but during my career I have both applied for many different jobs and hired and managed many employees. I have also counseled corporate clients on a myriad of employment issues. I am hopeful that everyone, young and old alike, who is looking for a job or a new career will read my eBook trilogy and follow the detailed road map I have laid out. Visit my web site at www.daretobewealthyandhappy.com to learn more about the trilogy and read my blog.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My first book is entitled “The 101 Best Jobs in America” and the second book tells you how to get one of the top jobs. Observing the recent struggles of my son Jerome in attempting to obtain suitable employment in the film industry inspired me to do the research which resulted in the Dare to Be Wealthy & Happy trilogy. I found it hard to believe that a student who graduated Summa Cum Laude from America’s number one rated cinema and television arts program at a very prestigious (and expensive) university found it impossible to get a job paying a “living wage” in the field for which he studied!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
The goal of my book trilogy is to give anyone working on their career all the information and motivation they need to improve their chances of getting the best job they are capable of. There is nothing more important than discovering your true calling and passion in life and then working toward finding a career that will enable you to make your passion your life’s work.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
A wide array of authors and books have influenced me over my career but this year I have focused on classic self-help authors such as Napoleon Hill, Norman Vincent Peale, and Anthony Robbins.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the third book in the Dare to Be Wealthy & Happy series coming soon on Amazon.com– Manifest the Career of Your Dreams.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My marketing efforts are so new that I have not yet discovered what works best.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just keep working the program! There is a lot of great advice available on the Internet!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up!
What are you reading now?
The latest book by Tony Robbins about MONEY.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I intend to write a book about the best colleges in America and the best college majors to pursue.
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?
