We All Must Start Somewhere

YES, SO MANY OF US think we know it all. And some of us were indeed blessed to have strong, well-rounded, functional
mentors there from birth, holding our hands, showing us the way throughout our adolescence. But so many others had to
find their way, and we had to make do with whatever resources were afforded to us. Without mentors, counselors &
teachers, where would we be? Well, as you know, educators generally produce books. They write what they know and
genuinely share their knowledge with the world as a means of sharing and making a living. So then, most of us are mentored
in school, from TV & Youtube, and of course, before the Internet came, there were BOOKS. Here are 10 non-fiction/self-help
books that influenced me

What Is
My Purpose?

Readers Are Leaders

Only in my 20s, but mores in my 30s did I actually learn to love to read. My
circumstances forced into it, with no other choice to keep myself occupied, and I learned
to LOVE it! I read VORACIOUSLY, until I absorbed over 1000 books, from non-fiction to
fiction, how-to books and autobiographies. Just say I learned a lot, and when I broke it
down to the X,Y,Z of things, reading taught me to be a successful author.

Whether you got a collectors

edition, picked up someone
elses interpretation, or listened
to the audio
Think & Grow Rich is the
absolute MUST-HAVE of
everyones success library.
ONCE I LEARNED THAT
DR. DENNIS KIMBRO rew r o t e t h e c o n t e n t fo r
African Americans FOR
ME??? I was sold. Read it
more than 20 times.

THERE BUT
FOR THE
GRACE OF
GOD, GO I

So VERY IMPORTANT to get along

with people. That is the absolute
challenge in life; to get along &
communicate with others
One of the most important
statements I took from this
book is

DONT CRITICIZE,
CONDEMN or COMPLAIN.

This book changed my life. It opened doors for me

that I didnt know existed. It taught me the secret
behind lifes possibilities and it made me realize
there were great options, if only I believed
I took this first book from
my Mothers success library
when I was 13. The book
just kept resurfacing
throughout the years. I still
keep a hard copy in this
digital age. Hard to give
away

What I took away from the 7 habits is the lesson

about the 4 Quadrants. That concept WOW
When Steven Covey passed on, I wrote a strong message
regarding Steven Coveys book and what it meant to me.
Dear Mr Steven Covey, You taught me to be a leader!
I Mastered Habit 1: I have been Proactive! I've done more than
merely take initiative. I've done more than recognize that my decisions
would guide & direct me. I took ACTION!

"Ask yourself the question Will This Matter a Year From

AS A MAN THINKETH,
SO IS HE
IF THERE
IS A
POWERFUL QUOTE that
changed my life, THIS WAS
IT!
I realize that James Allens
name is all over this title;
however Jesus says in Mark
7:15-16

"There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the
things that defile a man. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!" Jesus is explaining that we are not necessarily what we eat
but what we think.
Proverbs 23:7 backs Him up: "For as [a man] thinks in his heart, so is he.
No matter the origination of this quote, it certainly is the seed behind
so many other books. A Purpose Driven Life
The Secret and so on and so forth. Doesnt change the fact that this is
a powerful concept if adopted into your life.

Side-Note: The Secret

is no more than
As A Man Thinketh,
just re-packaged.

Think & Grow Rich is the

absolute MUST-HAVE of
everyones success library.

Ive Been Through Some Tough Times

But Dr. Robert Schullers words are branded on
my soul. Ive taken them everywhere through

TONY ROBBINS is a TOP INFLUENCER in my life

Amazing to be
