My new book, Today We Are Rich, is the prequel to Love Is the Killer App.
By prequel, I mean 'the story behind the story.' It's an examination of the principles I was taught growing up that shaped my point of view...Abundance. When I wrote Love Is the Killer App, I was a business leader at Yahoo, and really didn't have a total understanding of the WHY behind my WHAT.
I knew that being loving, giving and helpful was how I achieved my success -- but I never told the story about what made me that type of person. A decade later, I'm older and a little more in touch with my roots. I now realize, that the reason I believe in generosity so much is because I am a confident person. Not confident because I'm on a roll, but faithful as a result of lifestyle design. That's not something you'll discover in my first book.
We live in a world where the success stories are too focused on how-you-did-it VS how-you-were-shaped. For many of today's popular authors, too much of their person story is left out - mostly, just the highlights are included for a dash of color. Sometimes, and it's rare, a leader finally writes his or her memoir, but it's not thought of as an advice book.
So, what's your story behind your story? Have you plumbed your childhood, identified the elders that shaped your values and exposed all of your warts to your followers. Trust me, if you'll do it, you'll emerge much happier and more importantly, much more relatable to the average reader.
So fun article is! I know more from it.

As long as your love one is still alive. Show them that you care and love them unconditionally.

No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is,
won‘t make you cry.
