Discovering the
Greatness of Being You is a digital pictorial of motivating words and inspirational images. I created this book as a gift to anyone seeking encouragement on demand. I’ve spent the last 10 years helping self-starters value their life experiences. I’m continually finding ways to help people identify their strengths, minimize their weaknesses and monetize their dreams. I use my experiences as a marketing consultant and graphic designer to help my clients generate income doing what they love. On the pages of this book, you’ll find seeds of positive thoughts to keep doubt, fear, and negativity from prohibiting your success.
