What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
This book titled “Bounce Back Strong: Master Wealth Habits and Turn Setbacks into Success: A Proven Path to Resilience, Self-Discipline, and Financial Freedom” will change your life.
The inspiration came from over 30 years of being in the grind and studying what made some strong and prosperous despite facing tough challenges. I discovered that becoming successful is a choice and that your mindset has a lot to do with how you handle adversity.
I thought, why not create “The Ultimate Guide to Overcoming Setbacks and Mastering Wealth Habits” to help anyone change toxic habits or face adversity, and create positive life changes?
Why not let the reader know that their vocation must align with their inborn talent so they live more fulfilling lives?
I also discovered that if their passion is not aligned with their vocation, their job will become tedious and they won’t excel. This book helps them find out their life’s calling and fulfill it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I create like any other writer. First I brainstorm, then outline the book idea and validate it via survey. Once that’s done I do research and create rough thoughts as I write in bursts of 8 am to 12 noon daily. Afterwards, I take a two hours break. During which, I do other things like playing with the kids and checking emails, social media and having Lunch.
I start working again at 2 pm till 6 pm. Daily, I put in 8 hours of writing.
