I became a worldwide phenom in 2005 when I signed and delivered on a 14 - book traditional publishing deal and

received over $250,000.00 in Book & Film contracts.

5Tuesday, June 4, 13

But there was nothing traditional about me! I was unorthodox in book promotion.

6Tuesday, June 4, 13

VERY unorthodox!

7Tuesday, June 4, 13

I had received national & international media attention, even before the book deal

SURVIVAL...

20Tuesday, June 4, 13

assure you GREATNESS

21Tuesday, June 4, 13

GREATNESS IS IN YOU!YOU SIMPLY NEED TO

IDENTIFY YOUR “REASON”

T H E A N S W E R L I E S WITHIN YOUR INTERESTS AND YOUR INTERESTS LEAD TO YOUR ABILITIES.

28Tuesday, June 4, 13

In other words, I have been up and down the food chain of success...
