2 HOW TO GET PAST FEAR I'm nothing special. I get that. I come from humble beginnings. Zero silver spoon in my mouth. In school, I didn't fit in. I wasn't given much of a chance.

7 I stood at the American Booksellers Association event in Chicago with a copy of the cover of my book hanging from my neck. Famous literary agents snickered at me. One outright insulted me.

6 DISAPPOINTED Y esterday, I saw a woman lose hope. She was standing in front of me in line at a store. She opened up her purse to pay for her purchase. And then asked for a lottery ticket.

12 MAKE YOUR “I CAN” LARGER THAN YOUR “I CAN'T” Genius entrepreneurs all run one dominant mentality: do whatever it takes.
