Blog postThis Sunday February 28th, 2021 makes 5 years I've been an author and it's surreal. I can truthfully say that time flies and I never thought I would be writing this long. I've written and published 28 books with another 32 books as a goal. I have a contract with GOD to write 60 books so I have to uphold that. I've accomplished a lot in that short amount of time but I'm nowhere near done.
I wish I can say it was easy but it was nowhere near it. From bad boo

Blog postHave you taken the time to think about how hard you are working? No? Maybe it’s time you do that. Are you distracted on a daily basis (friends, social media, television-Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple TV)? These are the things that hinder us from accomplishing our goals.
Are you giving it your all when it comes to completing your tasks? How often are you writing down your goals and checking them off? These are imperative things in accessing how har

Blog postBeing an author is one of the biggest challenges you'll ever face. Writing the book, editing, synopsis, book cover, pricing, bookstore websites, marketing, promotion, it's a lot of work. Is it worth it as a self-published author? It surely is and I wouldn't change it for the world. There's a lot of decision-making that has to be done on a daily basis along with budgeting yourself. With that said, here are some pointers when it comes to authors:

Blog postWhen it comes to making decisions regarding my books, there are a lot of books that don't make it. There are times I might think of a book idea, I'll write the title of the book, develop a quick concept for the book and then down the road decide that it's not good enough to write. I'm careful of how and why I choose to write the content that I do.
I'm not someone who just randomly decides to write a book because it's cool and it's trendy. I spend time watching -
Blog postSometimes we need someone to inspire us to keep us going and work harder. The question is who is that one person who inspires you to work hard? Is it your mentor, entrepreneur that you follow for inspiration, or maybe it's a close friend or family member.
For me, my best friend is someone who inspires me to work hard. She has a lot of goals for herself so it forces me to step my game up. She’s in school bettering herself for her career, she’s lau

Blog postThe title of the blog explains itself. Now, there are two things I want you to always remember when it comes to telling people your goals. #1 there are the people who don’t want you to accomplish them (because of jealousy, they want to be like you, they don’t have goals or a combination of all three) and #2 there are the people who think they know how you should go about accomplishing your goals.
Now that that's out of the way, let me break down t

Blog postEveryday will be different no matter how much you plan. You’ll face some challenge or something will happen that will change the landscape of your day. The only thing with that is, how do you handle that if and when it happens? That’s why I wake up motivated daily.
Waking up another day means it’s a new opportunity to reach someone new. Whether that’s on social media, in person or just a close frie

Blog postYou know when you want something so bad, you would do anything as far as the work goes to achieve it? That’s what I deal with when it comes to my writing. Everyday is a new opportunity to impact someone with a poem, a story line, a book or a podcast. There’s a motivation and drive for me to continually get better at my craft.
Just think about your goals right now. Think about how bad you want to see the end result of all the hard work you’re doing. I

Blog postWith social media, television and a plethora of other things to distract us, we all can lose mental focus on what we’re doing in the moment. I’m not going to lie, I get distracted from time to time when I’m working on a book or project. So how do I stay mentally focused?
For starters, I’m thinking of the end goal, publishing the book. Along with that, I’m determining my future through my mental focus. My habits determine how far I’ll go and whether o

Blog postDream. Drive. Determination. Dedication. Discipline.
The five D's that I live by everyday. And also the thought of sitting at a desk for another 30 years before I can retire and hopefully live comfortably, pray I have my health and hopefully live longer than 10 years. Yes, this goes on in my head. Every. Single. Day. That's why I live my life like everyday is going to be my last.
So I ask you the question, do you have the mental d

Blog postGary Vaynerchuk always has good insight on things that are going on in the world. The one thing he always says is to go to senior homes or go speak to people who are in the later part of their lives and talk with them. He always says that they will speak their truth and share the regrets they have. Since he's done it, I got to thinking about what he said.
Now comes my story, I work in the medical field currently and I speak to all walks of life four d

Blog postEvery book I write, I always listen to music. It’s important that I do because it gets me in the right state of mind and it also allows me to get into a zone. Once I’m in that zone, I can write for hours non-stop and everything just flows smoothly.
Now to get into what I listen to when I’m writing books. I listen to a lot of ambient music so it’s a relaxing, chill vibe. If you’ve never listened to ambient or electronic music, it’s really good to

Blog postThe title of this blog explains itself, get yourself into a zone. That’s what you have to do to get to the next phase of your journey. It’s not easy, but it has to be done a lot of times. It means shutting yourself off from the world for a while.
That means no social media, no family and friends, no hangin’ out, no goofing around, no binge watching television shows and documentaries, you have to cut off anything you know is a distraction. The

Blog postI’ve been writing poetry for over 20 years on and off. Now I’m a published author and it’s just cool to me. It’s not this glamorous excitement that people get upon meeting me and knowing that’s what I do. I guess people don’t fully understand how much work it truly is just to write one book alone.
Which brings me to my next point, people get more excited at my accomplishments than I do myself. Maybe because I don’t feel accomplished yet in any way. I

Blog postWith all of my books ready for this year, I’m currently working on my biggest project...writing a 12 book series for next year. Next year, I will be publishing a 12 book series named, “A Woman’s Worth.” This will be a huge series that I feel will impact and shape society as a whole going forward.
A Woman’s Worth will be a series of powerful, impactful messages while addressing women’s issues that go on in today’s world. These books will have positive

Blog postYour daily habits and routines will determine your success. You determine whether you are successful or not, not anyone else. When things don't go right, it's on you, no one else. When you fail, it's once again on you. You can't embrace only your successes because that's not reality. Everyday, you have to understand that your success is predicated on whether you chose to do work today.
It's you tha

Blog postThe most impactful people have routines and every single day. CEOs of the biggest companies in the world have routines that they follow all of the time. I watched a YouTube video on it and I’ve read articles on how CEOs of big companies do the same things daily.
When it comes to my daily life, I wake up at the same time daily and do the same things. My work schedule has been the same for 4 ½ years and I eat at the same times most days. But it’s not

Blog postThe reality of this world is….men deal with struggles. I do, I’m not going to lie. I deal with it daily and part of it is because of my personality and who I am and the experiences that have gotten me to this place. It’s a place of uncertainty and whether I’m good enough for anything in my life. Writing, podcasting, clothing line, me as a man, you name it, I think about it.
Another reality is, most men won’t admit to what we think about and struggle w
