I was reared in a small town called McLaurin, Mississippi. My family did not have a lot money but I appreciated what my parents provided for my siblings and I. I would often go visit my friends who lived in nice homes and often wondered why my family did not have one. During these times, I always imagined owning a nice home, car and having a beautiful family. In 1992, as high school junior, I found out that I would be having a child and my dreams were in jeopardy. People were saying that I would not amount to anything due to my situation. After hearing these hurtful words, I was determined not to be a high school dropout. I knew that I had to work harder than the next person and I was ready for this challenge.
I do not remember one person talking to me about going to college, taxes, credit scores, investing, etc. so in my book, I give simple explanations on the importance of each of these topics. I give simple examples of how not having a college education or trade could affect your income over a lifetime. I give information on how to attend college for free and how to earn a high paying job after college. I explain the importance of seeking a career instead of a job.
Success Starts Here is simple but life changing book for everyone. It reminds and teaches us that success first starts in our mind and that if we follow these simple but practical steps, we will be successful. Success Starts Here is a positive book that helps everyone overcome life obstacles and roadblocks.ver menos
