Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a real estate investor, Director of Call Centers, Financial Literacy Expert, Mentor and Motivational Speaker. This is my first book, but I plan to release one each year.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Proven Pathways To Wealth & Happiness- Over the past 7 years, my wife, Latasha, and I have made incredible strides to improve our credit scores by 200+ points, increased our earnings and began investing in rental properties. Through our journey, we have learned quite a bit about overcoming adversities, setting proper goals and taking action, Proven Pathways To Wealth & Happiness outlines that journey. As people have quizzed me about the steps taken to conquer my goals, I felt that telling my story would inspire many others, that had no college degree nor large sums of money, to realize that their mind is what real drives their success in life.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. None that I can think of.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Dr. Dennis Kimbro (Think & Grow Rich: A Black Choice) & Napoleon Hill’s Think & Grow Rich; Joseph Murphy (The Power of The Subconscious Mind); Gary Vee (Crushing It); David Bach (The Automatic Millionaire); Alex Haley (Malcolm X); anything by Suze Orman and so many more.
What are you working on now?
At this time my focus is on getting the word out about the book as it will help transform peoples’ financial lives. I am looking to do speaking engagements, conferences, seminars, one on one classes, articles and anything else to help people get ahead of their finances. For those that have it figured out and want to grow their wealth, I would like to mentor them on getting into real estate investing.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
www.nicodonprojects.com is one method to promote my book; however, I am somewhat old-school and still believe traditional promotion, like handing out flyers, going to book festivals and events and having a great conversation with my readers.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice to new authors is to partner with someone that has published a book or that has worked for someone that has published a book. This will help you see around the corner. We don’t know, what we don’t know and this can be costly when attempting to self-publish a book. Also, be patient and enjoy the ride. You are creating something that will last for ages.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Never limit yourself by your past results.”
We are constantly evolving, as are the things around us. Continue improving yourself and you may just surprise yourself.
What are you reading now?
The Wealth Choice- Dr. Dennis Kimbro & Big Potential – Shawn Achor
What’s next for you as a writer?
Speaking engagements, mentoring and more books or educational material.
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?
Not sure of the exact titles but these would be the topics.
– How to survive on the land
– Body-weight exercises
– Something by Langston Hughes
– The Bible
