Excerpt from the new book..

I really think my NEXT one may be my BEST one... ♫

Excerpt from the new book..

TRY - To Ready Yourself daily so you do not have to encounter a situation that calls for you to be at your best and you are not able to give just that, your best. The worse thing an individual could do is take the success they have earned for granted. As Mike Tyson witnessed, the problem with being at the top is that it requires more than what you did to get there, in order to stay there.

The pressures that come with being an American Icon can sometimes prove to be overwhelming even for the toughest of individuals.  As you pursue your dreams and goals let each day serve as a day that you improve and take the steps needed to be ready when that long awaited opportunity comes knocking at your door.

Allow other people to inspire you with their stories of triumph, yet do not be fooled to think that your story will be written the same way. My best friend once told me, “The amount of time it took for one person to see the fruits of their labors may not be the same as yours.” This is very true and I myself have been a victim of thinking that if it took one person 10 years to reach a certain level that I am striving for it will definitely take me 10 years as well.

However, we do not know what God has planned for us which makes being ready even more important. Your opportunity may come as soon as tomorrow or even next week. It may come next year, so while you actively wait do all you can today so when the chance you have desired arrives it will be much easier to embrace and be ready for.

Remember, preparation equals separation and those who prepare will always have a better chance to separate from those who do not. Start by creating a simple yet effective plan that you can practice daily. Allow this practice to prepare you to maximize each and every skill that is within you. Never let a day go by where you do not do something as it pertains to getting ready to catch your dreams.
