Kill your fantasies now, to save your reality later.

Be careful not to set unrealistic expectations for objectives out of the gate. Dream big but if you set unrealistic goals and objectives for a book, it won’t serve the realistic goals you want to accomplish.

Q3: What is the single event that you will celebrate when the book is out? The “Champagne Moment.”

The first time a complete stranger reaches out to me to tell me the book helped him or her take steps to positively improve his or her life.
