Leaving A Legacy For Your Readers

by Cheval John

Everyone wants to be remembered for the great work that they do.

They are determined to find the calling that will set them up to be in the position to leave a legacy.

That is why when they first set out on their first career, they feel that they are in the right calling for their life.

Things will be going well for a while until they have that pivotal realization that they are not in the right career.

Most of the time, the realization of being in the wrong career happens in their 40s and they suffer a mid-life crisis.

While some realize that they are not in their right careers in their mid-twenties.

The good news is that it is never too late to change careers.

Ken Dunn was very fortunate to come to the epiphany that he was not in the right career.

He spent fourteen years as a police officer doing private investigative work.

Though he was “enjoying” his work as a police officer, he knew that they was a bigger calling for him to leave his mark on the world.

He ventured into the entrepreneurial world and in the process had a seven figure business.

He then wanted to share his experience of running a business and had written his first book.

He went and found a publisher and a marketer who had claimed that they would be able to get his book to best-seller list as he explained to me in the interview on my podcast, What’s The Word?. #paraphrased

So he spent the $80,000 that they were charging.

Unfortunately, the book did not achieved best-seller list and they were a whole lot of errors.

That bad experience with a publisher led him to do more research in the world of publishing and led to his company “Next Century Publishing” which he rebranded it into the Reader’s Legacy Inc.

The company has been very successful over the years because it is almost like a social media site.

Meaning that the author has their own page and they can interact with their fans on a consistent basis.

It is like the Twitter of book promotion.

Because of this innovative way to market your books, he received a lot of media attention from the likes of Fox News, Entrepreneur.com and the Huffington Post.

Plus he recently held the first annual Reader’s Legacy Choice Awards held last month with speakers like Dorie Clark, Kimanzi Constable and Shannon O’Keeffe.

You can say that he has found his true calling and is leaving a legacy for the next generation of authors.

By the way, he relauched his first book into best-seller’s status and has written four other books as well.

So if you feel that it is too late to change course in your true career, don’t give up hope.

Eventually your true career will find you and you will be destined to leave a great legacy that will make the world a better place.
