Sometimes, you wonder how much easier life would be if you simply had a manual to guide your every step. Unfortunately, this is real life, and things don't come that easily for many of us. Every new day comes with unlimited possibilities, and every decision may impact the rest of your life-positively and negatively. So, why wouldn't you want a guide to at least go through life in easy mode? This book from Bianca Wise is a deviation from the norm, as the author takes us through the story of her life. She explores her unconventional path from the inner city of Baltimore, deciding to leave a vested, solid, steady career to build a successful seven-figure business in less than 5 years. Bianca presents the life lessons she gained from her mother, family, friends, and co-workers as ten pillars, which she aims to inspire her readers to put on the armor of self-belief and take responsibility for their lives in any situation. ¿¿¿Bianca uses her story to engage the readers throughout this book, not to instruct them on how to live their lives. She wants everyone to create their own stories, and when the time is right, they can choose to tell their stories to inspire others too. She wants them to be confident that they lived the life that was meant for them, not another person's dream. This book will open you up to the mindset you need to achieve success, remove distractions from your life, and maintain an environment that facilitates your success. Some of these insights may seem logical and others may be challenging initially, but the concepts in this book will change your life. Bianca encourages every reader to apply them to their lives as it fits them. This is the book you need if you're seeking the assurance that you can also achieve your dreams by forging your own path to success. Race, gender, sexuality, religion, spirituality-your circumstances don't have to define you if you recognize your role in the outcome of your life. Your success story is on the other side of sacrifice and hard work. This is Bianca's story, and you can read all about it in her new book!
