Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I signed a two book deal with a company called TCP who were industry leaders at the time. This was a multi million dollar company that sadly went under prior to my books being released due to being mismanaged. This ended up being a gift and a curse because I got my book rights back and was able to release them myself. This inspired me to start Rocky D Publishing in hopes of taking over where they left off.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated but surrounding myself with positive people who are go getters; people who want to see me succeed and who are successful themselves. My family also motivates me. I don’t want them to have to work as hard as I’ve always had to since I was 13 years old.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to invest in my company by hiring professionals to help me with things that i currently do myself. Things like building a professional website and advertising. I would also use some of the money to help an aspiring author achieve their dreams by signing them to a book deal in hopes that they would be the first of many.
