Mid-summer of 2015, wondering what next after finishing my novel, I got a sudden epiphany: “The world is full of sorrow—inspire people.”
“But how?” I protested, being just one very insignificant atom in a giant universe.
“Post your original, unpublished, motivational/inspirational quotations on Google Plus,” the relentless voice whispered.
I thought I was losing my mind. The amount of time and work involved, not to mention giving away prized intellectual property for free? How could this be?
Reason, thankfully, did not prevail. I began posting quotes on Google Plus, and to my surprise, they were an instant success! People all around the world began sharing them, and within one month, I had over 1 million views.
Encouraged by the early success, I persevered, and since then I have had over 8 million views and my quotations have been featured in various newspapers, blogs, and magazines around the world, including Inc. Magazine, garnering thousands-and-thousands of dollars’ worth of free publicity. I have also been endorsed by 17 bestselling authors, Grammy Award winning artists, renowned scholars and C.E.O’s of large corporations. Doors have been opening like never before since; a testament to the timeless wisdom of helping yourself by helping others.
