What I Told My 19-Year-Old Niece About Success, Regret, and Getting Ahead

When Millie asked me about my book Why Am I Not a Millionaire Yet?, I smiled--because that question isn't just the title of a book, it's a question I've asked myself more than once in life.

This is a follow up to An "Aha" Moment with My Niece: Why Young People Should Read My Books

I told her the book isn't about chasing money. It's about chasing clarity. It's about looking at your habits, your mindset, and the invisible limits you might not even realize you've set for yourself.

In the book, I talk about missed opportunities--not because I wasn't capable, but because I wasn't ready. I wasn't disciplined. I didn't recognize the value of time, focus, or even the power of saying no.

I wrote it for young people like Millie--to help them see that becoming successful doesn't just "happen." It's built, slowly, through choices you make every day. And sometimes, you don't realize how close you were until you look back and say, If only I had stayed consistent...

I didn't write this book to brag or complain--I wrote it to reflect. To help young people like Millie--and maybe even you--avoid some of the detours I took.

If you've ever wondered why your goals feel just out of reach, this book might have the clarity you didn't know you needed. It's not too late to shift. But it's way more powerful if you start early.
