Real Impact explores the influence of personal growth on success. What inspired you to write this book,
On a podcast, I was asked, “What was the most powerful suggestion I gave to my students? I said, “Develop the habit of reading something positive, that aligns with your goals every day.” This sparked the idea of creating a tool to help anyone form a daily reading habit, regardless of their schedule.
And how do you hope it will resonate with readers seeking to create a meaningful impact?
By using the book as intended readers can form a life-changing habit that positively impacts not only them but everyone they encounter.
In your book, you emphasize the importance of mindset in achieving goals. Could you share a pivotal moment in your life where a change in mindset led to significant personal or professional growth?
In high school I disliked classes and reading; football was my sole focus. But, my size prevented me from playing; so enrolling in the band to play drums was my alternative. A visiting College symphonic bands visit and a performance by their marching bands drum section became a life-changing moment, that fueled a burning desire to be part of that drum section. My band director explained that College acceptance was the Gateway. Despite failing grades, I dedicated myself to studying for the next 3 years; ultimately improving enough to gain acceptance into college and into that percussion section.
Many readers are drawn to self-improvement books for practical advice. What are three key takeaways from Real Impact that readers can immediately apply to their lives?
1. People are creatures of habit, and those who form success habits ultimately become successful.
2. Form the habit of reading something positive everyday that will move you towards your ultimate goal.
3. The stories poems and quotes in this book have an underlying theme. The characters who ultimately became successful had four things in common; a burning desire, undying faith, a strong will, and they took Massive Action.
You write about the value of building strong relationships in making a real impact. How have relationships shaped your own journey, and what advice would you give to those looking to strengthen their personal and professional connections?
Not applicable.
As an author and thought leader, what has been the most rewarding aspect of writing Real Impact, and how has it influenced your own understanding of success and fulfillment?
Researching and writing the book was extremely enjoyable, but the most rewarding aspect is the positive feedback from readers. Here’s what I hope readers gain:
1. A pathway to success
2. An entertaining and engaging reading experience
3. Stories with elements of surprise, mystery, and heartwarming themes
4. Powerful poems and quotes that will motivate and inspire
5. A great gift option.
My sincere hope is that readers will use the book to find wisdom in every aspect of their lives.
