THE HARD 90 MINDSET

I have read virtually every mindset and leadership book as an employee in the corporate world, and this rivals any best seller out there as easy to read and digest, but also thought provoking with new ideas to implement."

Cooperstown dreams
I received the book as a gift. As a teacher the message of 'Never giving up', 'Working for your dreams' and 'Respect for your purpose', was received loud and clear. It is a wonderful story that all parents should read with the hope to help their child realize what their dreams are and help them get there."
