This book is a short, no-fluff guide to writing a book that matters! *Excerpt from Chapter 3* "I don't personally know you or what your book will be about, but I do know this: writing your book will be an emotional roller coaster. You will go through many unpredictable highs and lows of emotion. Your inner critic and inner hero will engage in unrelenting combat until the very last word is typed. This is the grueling work of an author that our readers never see, and therefore never come to appreciate.Encourage yourself with this thought: the emotional battle is temporary, but being an author is eternal. Your words will eventually be immortalized in print, touching the lives of others through your written legacy long after your death. This great achievement won't be handed to you; you must first earn that right. The only thing that stands in your way is the blank page (or screen) in front of you." *Excerpt end* Do you have a message to share with the world?

This is NOT your typical health book. We're not going to talk about counting calories or what specific exercises you should perform. My focus is different. I wrote this short book to remind every visionary of three things: 1. OUR SOCIETY NEEDS YOU2. YOU HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT TO COMPLETE3. YOU MUST MAKE YOUR HEALTH A PRIORITY Leadership is the most important position on earth. No societal progress happens without a leader spearheading that change. Good physical health is the engine of leadership, and the energy it generates is the fuel we use to make a difference. This book will emphasize one critical point: The significance of your visionary assignment demands that your health become a priority. Once you understand how significant your visionary assignment is to the world and how your health effects the execution of that assignment, you will naturally begin to make better health choices. You will learn: -The chief responsibly of a visionary leader-How to discover your visionary assignment-Why your visionary assignment is so important to the world-Why leaders must be proactive about maintaining their personal health-Why ignoring your health could lead to the early termination of your vision-The three critical beliefs that form the mindset of a Health-Conscious leader This is book #3 in The Visionary Library Series - An ongoing series of books dedicated to helping visionary leaders create positive change in the world

On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. shared a dream for black America. A generation later, America had its first black president. Less than a decade later, black America was back in the streets protesting and one generation away from being the nation's permanent underclass. One of the most talked about topics in America today regards closing the black/white wealth gap. Corporate America is attempting to address the issue. Governments from the local level up to the federal government are attempting to address the issue. The night before his assassination Martin Luther King, Jr. addressed the issue. However, the issue had been addressed in 1865 when General William T. Sherman asked a direct question of Garrison Frazier in Savannah, Georgia. Sherman had completed his March to the Sea at the culmination of the American civil war. On the brink of the Union's victory Sherman asked the spokesperson for 20 black men, what can government do to ensure that you as freed slaves can take care of yourselves? Frazier responded, "e;Land."e; With land the former slaves responded, they could take care of themselves and "e;have something extra,"e; or positive net worth. Sherman responded by issuing Field Order #15 granting 400,000 acres of confiscated land in 40 acre plots to the freed slaves' families. Shortly thereafter, the federal government created the Freedmen's Bureau, the 400,000 acres were repossessed and given back to the former confederate slave owners, and the freed slaves fell subject to compulsive labor agreements and back in bondage. Following this, which was the best opportunity for black American self determination, blacks have pursued several paths to the Promised Land only to find themselves farther away than at any time in history.
