I’ve been working with entrepreneurs and other successful professionals for the past sixteen years. As a business mentor, I see the complex interworking of an entrepreneur’s life. I have the privilege of knowing what goes on behind the scenes. I am humbled when I see what it takes for entrepreneurs to realize their achievements.

The Game Changer Book Series is a collection of these behind-the-scenes stories – stories that most people never realize have laid the foundation for a successful business or company. These stories are personal, and connected to the authors’ hearts, and many of them are being shared for the first time with you, our reader. As I read this collection, I could not stop thinking about this old adage: “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about! Be kind, always…”

The twenty-seven authors in Vol. 8 reveal some of the hardest times and darkest moments that entrepreneurs live through. Their experiences are real and deeply personal. Many of the chapters tell of bad choices and overcoming mistakes.

However, all of them share something in common: a turning point—the turning point that changed the author’s life forever. These stories are very dear to each author, and I am honored to be able to share their experiences with you. I hope that each of these stories touches you as deeply as I have been touched.

5 out of 5 stars
A powerful book full of inspiring stories!
Stories are powerful and this book is full of them! These are stories that inspire the reader to reach higher and to know that the challenges they face can only make them stronger. Everyone needs to know that, but entrepreneurs especially need to know that persistence pays off and that they can make it if they don’t give up. They say that being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart. This book is proof of that! The stories in this book come from the hearts of the authors who share how they have persisted through what looked like insurmountable obstacles to keep pursuing their dreams. Obstacles like heartbreaking losses, battles with cancer, surviving abusive relationships, rising from poverty-riddled childhoods, and so much more. For example, Karen Bonnett-Natraj’s chapter is riveting as she shares her courage to leave a toxic marriage and overcoming her own mental saboteurs to become an ultra-athlete and mental fitness coach. She drops this valuable gem as she talks about the obstacles she faced: “I’ve always held high ideas for my life, fervently chasing my inherent right to happiness. This path, however, wasn’t without its barriers. Every obstacle I faced was both a challenge and a gift, revealing a little more of who I was.” And then there is Erik K. Johnson who grew up poor but learned the value of being creative and learned quite early how to be a successful entrepreneur. His journey to becoming the Podcast Talent Coach is so inspiring and I love how he admonishes us with this: “Today is the day for you to start. Trust your heart. When the road gets bumpy and others doubt you, follow your intuition.” If you want to feel uplifted and encouraged, plus have practical strategies and steps to keep going when you feel like giving up, this is the book for you!

    Chapter 2: Reigniting the Flame by Amy Janece

    This people pleaser tendency of mine led to a toxic relationship in my first marriage. You writing about feeling trapped and hopeless touch home to me. I foolishly believed that my husband would change, that staying in the marriage was best for my children. Freeing myself from that relationship was one of the bravest things I have ever done. I hadn’t shared what was going on with anyone. Opening up to others allowed me to build a community of friends which I still have today. Thank you for being brave enough to share your words. I loved your ending. “I choose to show up as my authentic self.” “I believe that beauty is a inside-outside process and when you feel great you look even better.” I will continue trying to find my alignment becoming less of a people pleaser and more true to myself. Keep writing.

    Chapter 4: Unlocking the Key to Your Teen Future Success by Denise Thomas

    I totally agree that these strategies need to be taught. The curriculum in our schools today is so scripted that time for play, art projects, group work, and the other soft skills are being in order for the students to be ready for the state test.
    My daughter is a principal at a school that all the students have behavioral issues. These soft skills are what these children are lacking. The days of children running around the neighborhood developing soft skills are gone. Activities are scheduled. Sports do teach the soft skills such as make friends, be part of a team, and grow more confident in their abilities. The scary thing is this is the video game generation. Children are communicating with others without ever leaving their home. How can you look someone in the eyes when you never see them? This is a good place to do time management, however getting a child to quit playing the game is often difficult.

    Chapter 25: Forgiveness and Gratitude: Emotional Intelligence Superpower by Tonya White

    Your statement of forgiveness is not for the other person it is for you, spoke to me. My first husband was unfaithful to me many times over the years of our marriage. I believed that he would change and stayed in the relationship. God was not part of our marriage. I learned over the years that forgiveness is like a book that falls off the shelf. You have to keep picking it up and putting it back. Forgiveness takes time and willingness to forgive again and again. But with God’s help and the community of family and friends that surrounds you it does happen. Thank you for your words of encouragement.

    “The Game Changer: Inspirational Stories that Changed Lives, Volume 8," compiled and edited by Iman Aghay, is a collection of awe-inspiring stories by individuals who have shown the courage and stamina needed to overcome injury, loss, pain, and/or limitations from the past to create their most empowering present, i.e., their current and far more satisfying life. The first chapter (“Is Saying Yes Making you Play Small?” by Amber Avines) examines the negative impact of over-compliance, i.e., of too much “people-pleasing,” especially by women who say “Yes,” when they mean “No.” I was especially moved by Chapter 8 (“Believe in You: Transforming Self-Doubt into Unstoppable Confidence,” by Janelle Anderson) in which Anderson describes her process of overcoming earlier sexual abuse to reclaim her life, going forward. Chapter 17 (“An Introvert’s Guide: Re-frame Your Thoughts, Reclaim Your Life,” by Ellen Lorraine Scott ) provides a worthwhile intercept-strategy for negative thoughts, useful to extroverts, as well. Nicholas Harvey offers a very moving account (Chapter 20: “Still I Rise: A Journey to Humanity and Freedom”) of responding to the challenges of racism. Chapter 5 (“Trust Your Knowing,” by Diann Alexander) was and is especially relevant to me as an older adult in need of consistent vision and courage to accomplish what I consider to be my mission at this point of my life’s journey. Alexander gave herself permission, in her middle-to-later years, to try a new enterprise and to develop a new skill, that of training her cherished Yorkshire Terrier puppy, Tinkerbell, in the art of agility. Diann had never considered this possibility before, yet she went on to provide loving and effective training, such that Tinkerbell became an agility champion who won many local, regional, and national competitions. Other chapters in “The Game Changer, Volume 8” cover a wide variety of life concerns, such as empowering teen success, rebuilding financial health, recovering from serious or disfiguring illness, etc. I recommend this fine book wholeheartedly to anyone, especially to older adults who are determined to stay engaged in the game of life.
