Who Knows Your Dreams
Visualize your dreams and then execute your plan. I
have to admit that I am a dreamer. I have flashing, fleeting day dreams that
flirt with my conscious. At night, I experience
my dreams in elaborate, scenes, and it is only when I wake up, that I realize
that “It was only a dream.” Without a
well-thought of and carefully researched plan, dreams remain a fantasy. Personally, I attempt to turn my dreams into
reality. The graveyard is filled with unfulfilled dreams and unaccomplished
goals. Successful, entrepreneurs, authors and others have visualized a dream
and then executed a plan.
I became interesting in writing a book about a young man, Andre
Coppage, whose five younger siblings were murdered by a street gang. In 2000,
after years of following the case, “Code of Silence, the Andre Coppage Story,”
was written and updated in 2012.
Andre is an eye-witness to a brutal murder and as a result what happens to him and his family is unimaginable
From
2000 to 2006, Andre and I campaigned against gang violence. It was my dream to write
this story and I executed a plan. I wrote the book in the first person, I
literally became a young African American male. It was a difficult process;
however I embodied Andre, his dreams, his nightmares and his realities.
For several
years, I went on a nonstop marketing campaign.
Finally, my dream came true, I was an indie author, who was about to
sign a movie deal for my book. I thought
that I had executed a full proof plan, however I was blind-sided. The major network asked to talk to Andre, I
thought that he would know what to say, but before the ink touched the contract
the deal was tossed. I will not divulge what was said, but the network
executives refused to agree to the terms.
I have learned from this life lesson and I have since
then asked myself this simple question. “Who would you trust with your dreams?” When you have a dream that is so near and
dear to your heart, ask yourself this question, “Who knows your dreams better
than you?”
I am offering my EBook, “The Code of Silence the
Andre Coppage Story” for free from Wednesday,
August 14 to Friday, August 16, 2013.
