PLANTING YOUR SEEDS AS A NOVELIST AND ENJOYING A GARDEN OF CREATIVITY

Preparing for success and the acceptance of doubt from friends
BREAKING NEWS
An exceptional rule in every success story that I have ever read involved generating, believing and investing in an idea that might not be the talk of the town in the premature stages of your plan, but in your heart, is the best thing since rice crispies. Seeing the potential in your dream is the first step to it evolving into your own personal masterpiece and like most lucrative business opportunities, obstacles are hereditary for the simple fact that time is of the essence and persistence will afford you to lose in order to gain. I also had some issues in the beginning with my first novel "My Kinda Girl" and it could be used as a tool to master your own book as for the simple fact that there are key elements you need in order to capture an audience. A lot of mistakes have been made due to lack of patience and unwillingness to listen which brings me to my first step.
RESEARCH
A good "Business" man or woman should never invest, begin or even ignore an opportunity without researching it first. When I was young, hearing teachers repeat the phrase "knowledge is power" seemed nothing other than the biggest cliche that I've ever heard until I grew to understand how important the substance of those words were, and realized that those who obtain the knowledge ultimately will become the voice of reason, therefore opening doors intended for advancement and growth into monetary and entrepreneur gain. Focus is most important and maintaining a modest approach towards your goal will prove that hard work does pay off.
Lost (adjective)
Unable to find the way to a place
Before dedicating any time of your life that you will never be able to receive again, it is imperative that research is taken very seriously and with caution. Finding out that money and time has been exhausted due to the lack of detail in any particular market just might become another sob story at your local bar during happy hour, so the proper research will determine if you are the talker or listener. It's up to you to decide.
CHANGING YOUR SOCIAL STATUS
Changing your social status is one of the most difficult concepts of reality when chasing your dreams occurs in one's life. When we grow as individuals, we can't control who crosses our path and share an occasional beer or two with until it's time to get serious.

As you get older, you'll learn that everyone doesn't share the same drive or carry the same confidence to make a legitimate name for there selves. It becomes difficult when you progress, as the same friends who have gotten used to the same conversation and falling for the same neighborhood temptation begin to look at you different when they take notice to your absence and it becomes visible that your status has improved. It has become quite clear to you that in order to be successful, you have to surround yourself around successful people or at least make an attempt to get close, but your so called friends think it's a waste of time to have a drink in social gatherings, establish an image and make the contacts that you need to get where you want to be, when for the price of two dollars, they can purchase a forty ounce of malt liquor and watch family guy at home. What some fail to realize is that you can have the talent and knowledge to end world hunger but who would have ever known if they never heard of you? In this process, you will be called a sell out or even fake, and please don't get my words confused by assuming that I'm advising you to forget about friends and loved ones when you make it rich, only the ones that are hurting you more than helping.
SETTING SHORT AND LONG TERM GOALS
Creating a african american romance novels to follow in order to pursue a dream is key in the completion of your personal happiness, and what lies at the end of the road is totally up too how many miles that your drive has taken you. Nobody's influence should determine how your time should be spent, what is most important to you or when it is your time to shine in this big world of opportunity. Everybody has a role model, mentor or someone to look up to but we are all individuals and it is not the person that we want to be, but the success and education that they've endured through the work that they have performed. It is only inspiring to read, watch or on occasions have the pleasure to be acquainted by someone with a similarity that gravitates yourself to them and modeling those same behaviors might not be a bad idea and failure should not be a threat.

As a teenager I thought it was amazing to watch an athlete perform at the Olympics and was even interested in running track or becoming a gymnast. At fourteen years of age, I asked my father to enroll me in a program but his reaction was selfishly retained for two reasons, one of them being maybe the embarrassment of his son doing flips and somersaults and two, the inability to believe that I could do it. Eventually, a one track mind will destroy not only your own dreams but loved ones as well for the simple fact that support is just as much as an impact on someone else's life than actually leading by example. It seems that my father and his love for physical sports just couldn't see himself sitting in the bleachers and rooting for his son in a gymnastic competition in oppose to realizing my goal and dream to one day win a competition and bring home a medal for my country from the Olympics. We all start with a small hobby that manifest itself into a dream which converts into reality, and from there ends with an accomplished life and regardless if there is someone rooting for you in the bleachers or not, setting your own goals sets the standard for your own personal triumph.
THE CONVENIENCE OF INFORMATION
Information is the biggest motive to obtain the wealth in order to discover the champion within ourselves. All three topics discussed in this brief text all come into play as the information that you gather in your accumulated data from prior research will guide your decision to increase profits without continuous failures and unnecessary mistakes. Along with what you have attained to help increase your social status, you will also see how societies implications can affect those who do not desire to widen their opportunity in this world. Not only has the research affected the way that you now see things in your own comfort zone, which introduces the affluence of changing your social status and feeling comfortable making that sacrifice to better your life. As you begin to gain the momentum to establish yourself and a respectable career, you will notice that everybody is not chosen at the same time to see that their life is just as valuable as the next. Case and point ladies and gentlemen, when your time comes and the moment that your have worked so hard for arrives then it is up to you by carrying the torch and lead by example for the next person inspired to pursue their own dreams as well. Learning yourself is the first step to overcoming the biggest obstacle known to being a failure and that's not knowing the capability of one's self. The convenience of information is and will always be available and there is no need to say "I don't know how" for any reason.
