What
inspired you to author this book?
I
believe everything rises and falls on leadership. I noticed some shortcomings
in leadership traits for my junior leaders and dealing with the Uptempo of our
organization. I could not always catch all of them for Training. So like the
saying goes, “If you got a problem, you better have a solution.” So in Liu of
me retiring wanted to give my two-cents on building the legacy of leaders, I
wanted to give hope to the hopeless. Inspire and empower others to seek their
purpose.
Where
did you get the inspiration for your book’s cover?
The
book is about seven qualities, so it shows seven people on the front cover
representing each one. The red one describes you as the “leader,” which is also
the first chapter of the book.
Who
has been the most significant influence on you personally and as a writer?
My
wife and kids have been the most significant, personally. I wanted to show my
kids you can achieve anything you put your mind to. My wife has always
supported me behind anything I’ve strived to do.
What
were your struggles or obstacles you had to overcome to get this book written?
Struggles
or Obstacles I had to overcome when writing this book was selecting key topics
and grammar. Choosing a title was difficult. I think I got ahead of myself at
one point. It was all self-published, so those were about the only thing
outside of trying to find the best person to go with to sell the book.
Tell
your readers about your book.
It’s
exactly what it’s titled, its direct, transparent, a quick and easy read. A quick
go-to reference, very relatable while using a spiritual base foundation, which
equals No Excuses why you or any of your students, employees, and
soldiers take the time to read it.
Who
is your target audience, and why?
My
target audience is mainly any students, employees, managers, and soldiers
between the ages of sixteen to forty-five. Those inspiring to become a leader
or just need a little boost of motivation to get back on track. Multiple parents
have told me it helps them to be a better mom or dad.
What
do you consider your greatest success in life?
My
greatest success in life WOW there are so many, but if I had to go with the one
I would say God allowing me to be a father. I have four lives that are not
going to learn by what I say but by what I will do. It is a huge obligation and
blessing that I can never take for granted.
What
one unique thing sets you apart from other writers in your genre?
The
one unique thing that set me apart from other writers is that I have a lot of
experience I am very passionate about leadership I truly feel it is my purpose
to provide this support and information to everyone. I truly feel If you are a
human being you are a leader, it’s all about just finding our purpose to
fulfill it.
