The origins for this 'Secret Book' began with the years I spent in the corporate world, adhering to its structure and procedure. When I had to leave its comfort, I decided on a new path as an entrepreneur. Out on my own, I discovered both its freedom and its uncertainty. The lessons I learned form the core messages for this book. As an entrepreneur, your strength lies in your identity, knowing who you are. Your power to succeed comes from your integrity, your code of honor. And lastly, your creative force springs from your inspiration. These three form the platform that will support your venture and shape your potential for success. Learn these 'secrets' here, and discover how to apply them.
