Are you where you want to be in life? Have you reached your personal and financial goals? Have you even thought of or found what your passion is? Well, this book was written to inspire; and prove that no matter where you are, who you are, or what you've done in the past, you can achieve success. What makes me qualified to write such a book or offer such advice? I come from the mean streets of Detroit, Michigan. I have been shot, stabbed, so ill that I was knocking on death's door. I have had health issues that had me confined to the floor for months at a time. I dropped out of high school, became homeless, and have been incarcerated several times. Struggling to find myself for over 20 years of my 46 year existence, I made a choice to change. My decision to change came when I hit rock bottom mentally during my last prison sentence. In 2004, I received a 46 year sentence. By 2015, the judge I went in front of was so impressed by my 180 degree turn around that he released me. I wrote this book expressing and explaining what it took for a person like me with a checkered past to become successful. I obtained my G.E.D., Earned my Associate's and Bachelor's Degree, and found what my passion is: inspiring others to reach their full potential. I have written several books, but this is the one I'm most proud of. I hope you enjoy reading this, as much as I did writing it.
