The Makings of a Champion

Book excerpt: There is a champion inside of all of us. We are all capable at anytime of living our most awesome life and The Makings of a Champion is a step-by-step guide to that life. I wish this book was around when I took the leap into entrepreneurship in 2008. I struggled to create the life I wanted and to release my inner champion. Even now, the 13 steps Silee shares helped to inspire me and push me to do and be more. If you dream of living a richer, more meaningful and all-around amazing life, get this book! —Tiffany Aliche Owner of The Budgetnista Newark, New Jersey In The Makings of a Champion, Silee K. Williams weaves together personal trials, biblicalwisdom and practical life lessons into a modern manual for success. Unlike traditional “how-to” books, he is very transparent and open, which creates a special bond for the reader. No matter where you are on your journey, his story has a way of resonating with you. He instinctively takes you for a ride stemming from an unfortunate teenage tragedy, homelessness and now to a motivational speaker, and life coach. In a world plagued with more pessimism than optimism, the principles described herein can inspire you to make a difference wherever you are. My prayer is that someone on the verge of giving up can look at this book and say, “If he can do it, I can too!” Drink deeply. Digest the contents. Trust me, you won’t regret it! —D.
