About the Book
When Trina Michaels steps off the plane after her two-year missions trip in Africa, she realizes that other than longing to see her mother and her best friend, her heart aches to fly back to the place that now feels more like home than anywhere she’s… ever lived. And to the man who’s stolen her heart.
Every now and then you read a book that surprises you. That is what reading Knockout Entrepreneur by George Foreman did to me. It surprised me!
Foreman does and excellent job of making the reader feel as though he is sitting with you sharing his views, experiences, and knowledge about what it really takes to be a successful entrepreneur. From sharing his story about the George Foreman Grill to the ideas to stimulate your success, Mr. Foreman does an excellent job of keeping it real for the intended reader.
The bottom line is that there is a lot of junk out there that offers no real value of what it really means to become a success. People are money hungry these days and will feed you anything to make a buck. In the end you are left scratching your head and wondering what the next step really is. I can honestly say that I could not put down the book. Every page of Knockout Entrepreneur has something of value. Whether is a good story, a good laugh, some stern truth or a practical tip, there is some value.
I have been a very bad girl. You see back in 2002 I married a great man but at the time we were both in a tailspin that not even we got. Sure we know that God led us to one another but it was for a healing purpose even through marriage. WOW!
Didn’t you know that marriage is work and not a trip to Disneyland?
I discovered that this man was not my knight in shining armor and that the house on the hill with two dogs, a white picket fence and us frolicking through the flowers singing that about our love for one another. No sorry it just did not work like that. Once we got married we realized that were so many parts of one another’s traits that we did not like. Yet, as many times as we asked God for a way out…He said no again and again.
This is an exhilerating post and one that I am elated to write.
As I discussed in an earlier post, I have been seeking God’s direction for this new level of living I am on. That direction from Him has been simply to SERVE!
“How do I serve others God?”
“Use what I have already given you.”
So I took an assessment of my skills, talents and spiritual gifts (yes, there is a difference) and then I looked at my passions and my personality. What I discovered was that my passions lay in direct correlation with helping others.
