Real Stories of People Who Found Their Inner Courage to Go For It!

There is power in true stories of accomplishment. When you learn how someone else overcame a challenge that you too are struggling to overcome, it can set you free..

Mark Victor Hansen and Maritza Parra

“How Did You Do That! is that book—that book you’ve been looking for that could inspire you to change your own life.  In this collection of amazing true stories you’ll find the courage to finally go for it and do that thing you’ve been yearning to do.”
Foreword by Mark Victor Hansen

I am a co-author in a new book filled with powerful stories about achievement of heartfelt desires and the courage that overcame incredible obstacles. I want to tell you about this book today, for two reasons…
First, it’s a great book sure to inspire you! But also because I am very excited to be a part of this book, and I want to ask you to support this fabulous book launch today.
How Did You Do That! features International Best Selling Authors such as Mark Victor Hansen of the Chicken Soup series, Barbara DeAngelis and 30 other folks just like you …

Here are just a few of these inspiring and powerful true stories

1.    Living Full Out
Diagnosed with degenerative eye disease at only 16 years of age, Nancy Solari went on to achieve her dreams as a singer and performer.  She attended college, enjoyed an internship with Good Morning America, and worked at Entertainment Tonight.  Although Nancy is legally blind, she lives full out – hiking, rollerblading, bicycling, bowling — she even shoots pool!
How did Nancy do it?  She achieved her goals and life dreams because she refused to accept anything that would limit her.  Obstacles most people would find daunting, she was able to use as inspiration.  Nancy’s story will inspire you and fortify your courage, so that you don’t adjust to disabilities or fears by downgrading your dreams – instead, follow her lead and live full out!

2.    Slum Lord Queen to Safe Homes Angel
Bonnie Laslo offers a delightfully surprising cooperative business model.  She could have been content making her fortune as a property manager and real estate investor, but instead Bonnie created a unique approach to become what she calls a Home Guardian.  She works cooperatively with her tenants in impoverished neighborhoods to transform the community and improve their lives in every dimension.  Her management team educates their tenants about basic – but important – financial skills, such as how to open checking accounts and create resumes.  You will be amazed how Bonnie found a cooperative way to resolve issues with neighborhood criminals so tenants are safer.
Bonnie has applied this principle to many businesses, and believes this approach of building cooperation with her consumers is the primary reason her business is recession proof.  Bonnie’s story shows how you can create an innovative approach in any industry, making your business cooperative with your consumers.  The rewards are far beyond monetary.

There are many more stories like these.  Stories of humble beginnings and heroic endings, but they are also stories of “how” — how they did it and how you can stop making excuses, start following your passion and create the life you want, too.

When all you know is the beginning and ending of a success story, getting your own “happy ending” can seem like a fairy tale.

But when you know how people overcame their obstacles, their story becomes real— and it can help you find your own path to your dream.

I am proud to be a co-author of this powerfully inspiring book, and excited to bring you a great special offer.  There is a wonderful assortment of empowering tools and priceless wisdom from leading experts to support you on your personal journey to achieve your dreams.  All completely FREE when you buy just one copy of the book today.   Go here to check it out:  www.DoThatBook.com
If you are facing any hurdle in life, you will discover at least one person whose story will provide the answer and inspiration you need to clear that hurdle from your life.  To achieve the kind of success these authors tell you about.

Then, very soon, people will ask you…  HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!

    I just ordered my copy from Amazon! I’m always talking about the importance of “feeding” your mind & heart with good, inspiring stuff so here’s your opportunity to learn from other people who have overcome and persevered to make their dreams come true… (& just for the FTC… I’m not an affiliate for this book, I’m just incredibly honored to be a part of it AND excited to learn from the other stories!)

    The Living Full Out Story reminds me of this quote:

    “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming “HOLY CRAP what a ride!”

    Dear Maritza: you are always surprising us. What an honor and I might add a very well deserved one, to be in such good company. I ordered my copy and are looking forward to reading it. Congratulations and thanks a lot for sharing your experiences and your lessons learned.

    Maritza, I have been a fan of Mark Victor Hansen and Barbara de Angelis and I know everything they do is quality stuff. I am looking forward to reading all the motivational stories in this book. There is no better way to be inspired and learn lessons of turning trials and tribulations into real life victories, than to hear them directly from the people who live them and have, like you the courage and generosity of sharing them. Thank you and God Bless.
