Brave Review: Soar!

#BraveReview.

My current read “Soar!” is such an insightful book. The first few chapters have been captivating, vivid and practical.

Written by an author and a very dynamic individual. An Icon and Giant with tangible and sustainable results.

There is a lot to learn for those who long for more. Those willing to take risks, and step out to explore their full potential.

Maybe this may entail running an enterprise, a corporate organization, a non-profit or a path that requires going beyond average; raising the bar to soar high. The bottom line is, to rise, run, fly and soar, we must be equipped in stages.

Pilots only fly successfully with the guidance of the Control Tower. This requires adherence to instructions, precision of actions and direction.
It’s the same for us.

To Soar high in certain areas of life, our endeavors and purpose, we must be ready to pay attention to exceptional individuals who walk the talk. Applying their insights and instructions with precision.

If this is you or what you desire, then I encourage you to get this book.

From this book you will also get a glimpse of his life as well as tested and trusted principles. Wisdom that can only be found from those who have walked the path of process, time and purpose for impact.

Soar! by T. D. Jakes is a great read and highly recommend.

It’s time to build your vision from the ground up! 

It’s time to Soar!

Brave Review: Strategy Plain and Simple

Starting a business can be a daunting experience, but with a clearly mapped out strategy, you can obtain results that help you not only break through business barriers, but also scale in time and grow exponentially.

This is why I recommend this little but insightful book “Strategy Plain and Simple” by Vaughan Evans. Just like the title, it’s a pretty straightforward book, written in simple terms. This makes it easy to understand and implement.

It’s focused on three key areas:
1. Understanding the market.
2. Creating competitive advantage.
3. Managing risks.

These three key areas have been broken down further into small bites and explained in detail.
It’s such an insightful book that gives valuable and practical advice.

You’ve got to read this one to see for yourself.

Highly recommended for entrepreneurs, startup managers and business oriented individuals.

PS: This isn’t one of those bulky business books that may take you forever to read. 
So for those who love small and insightful books, this is one of them.

Brave Review: Becoming

#Becoming is certainly a book worth reading.

You’ll see things with a fresh perspective.
Through the eyes of a brave black woman. The first black and First Lady of the USA (2009 – 2017), married to the 44th and first black President of the United States of America, Barack Obama.

You’ll learn about her journey, her family, her history, her passions, her love, her race, her nation, her boldness, her leadership, her service, her influence, her contribution, her perseverance, her sacrifices, and so much more.

With simple, yet intimate words, you’ll also see through her humanity..How the decisions of her life, and roles through every stage of life, all leading up to the writing of her book “Becoming”; including the simple and complex details became pivotal to evolving into who she was and is even today.

In reading this book, you’ll most likely catch a glimpse of yourself.
Your own story.

One that matters so much and speaks of how incredibly powerful, strong, unique and brilliant we all are as women (and men) and how we can attain any height or achieve any feat we aspire to reach.

You’ll certainly have much to think about.

Without giving much away, you should go get the book “Becoming”, a #memoir by the #iconic and global Leader, Michelle Obama.

Brave Review: Divine

“Divine” is a novel that depicts the life of a modern day Mary Magdalene, only this time,  she is one named “Mary Madison”.
A novel about an influential woman in society, but one with a past. A past that evokes whispers. A past that is shunned by society and often never spoken of in public.

“Divine” is a difficult read.
It shows the horrors of many women in today’s society, trafficked, trapped and abused. Some whose lives may never remain the same or have the hope of experiencing some normalcy.
Survivors whose lives can only be redeemed by God’s divine love and comfort.

Mary Madison is only one of those many women, with many horrors.
Abused from a tender age, she is forced to face once more this past, for the sake of the freedom of a community of girls and women, those whom she has come to have such strong compassion for.

“Divine” also depicts friendship and love. Steadfast and Strong. One that stays consistent and committed through her difficulty.

“Divine” is a book that tugs at the strings of the heart and shows just how powerful God’s love can be, even in the deepest darkness.

It is also a MUST READ for every LEADER who cares about all those endangered by a corrupt and selfish system.
For every leader at heart and in position capable of implementing real change that can empower survivors of abuse and pain to truly live again.

Thankful for such a wonderful and eye opening story by Karen Kingsbury.

Brave Review: Marta’s Legacy Series

“Marta’s Legacy Series” by world renown author, Francine Rivers, a two part series comprised of two books: “Her Mother’s Hope” and “Her daughter’s Dream”, books about 4 generations of women.

Whose lives are affected and influenced by a series of events and past experiences that ultimately shape their future, and set in motion some patterns, expectations and perspectives about life.
One that is a reflection of the generation before.


If only these women could see each other through the eyes of another, then maybe clarity would “Dawn” upon them.However there is hope when Dawn, the fourth generation woman, whose story is told, seems to see things more clearly and becomes the bridge to Marta’s Legacy.

This is indeed a book for all women, mothers and daughters.
A book that reflects hope,  dreams, sorrows, healing, joy, victories and most of all, the “Mother’s Love”.
A love that is often expressed or not expressed in various forms.

This is certainly one of the best books you’d ever read about mothers, daughters, life and relationships.
As always, it is a great delight to read any books by the amazing of Francine Rivers!
We know you’d enjoy reading this one too.
