Promise: How to Avoid the Traps of First Time Authors
Thank you for having me. I look forward to a very lively discussion, and hopefully, this interview will prove valuable to all of you. Life is about decisions. The life you are living is the life that you’ve created, and it’s based upon the decisions that you have made and the habits that you have formed. You aren’t a victim of circumstances, and you aren’t powerless.
You should not wait for success to happen because, if you do, it’s going to be a very long wait. You have to take the initiative, seize control, create opportunities, and make something happen. There is something that you can do to release the potential that’s within you, but it’s up to you. This is a process that takes time, and it requires a plan, along with the commitment and discipline to follow through. However, to do this, there are two things that you have to do. You have to develop the mindset and habits for success, since how you think and how you act define you as a person.
So, you have to have a plan, with goals, and have the willingness and ability to follow through. That is the basic premise of my book, It Starts with You. It comprehensively and specifically instructs you on what you need to do in order to develop the mindset and habits for success.
