“Your book is a springboard and integral strategic part of your overall game plan. Being an author positions you strongly upon your platform. It is the passport which will start you on your journey to becoming the recognized authority in the niche or space that you work in or aspire to work in.”
“You are not an "author," you are a writer. If your books are still selling like hotcakes ten years after your demise, THEN you're an author.”
“To call yourself an author takes publishing one book. To call yourself an inspirational author is the work of a lifetime that requires being constantly kicked in the stomach, only to get back up on your feet and show the world how you survived it each time.”
“You become mature when you become the authority of your own life.”
“Remain humble in your journey as an author and your audience will embrace you. Remain grateful for every publicity opportunity that comes your way, and the media will embrace you.”
“(On being in a position of leadership) Even if it's your dog, you've got authority over somebody. Start treating him better.”
