Writing is not for the faint at heart. If you really want to do this. Take this test and watch this video. Do the work. Write your best-seller; but remember to keeping the marketing mindset. YOU got to SELL the book if you want to be a BEST-SELLER.

Do you have a passport? What about your children? The Passport Party Project is a grassroots philanthropic initiative that will gift 100 girls (ages 11-16) with their very first passports over the next 18 months in selected cities nationwide. Truth be told, I'm very proud to be at the helm of this initiative because for me, giving girls a world view is what it's all about.
