Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Teachers:
Your publishing model won't work as it is too different.
How I responded:
Just keep putting one foot in front of the other to never stop trying. My first book says it all: Fail Faster, Succeed Sooner. Find someone else who has done what you want to do successfully and hire them to coach you.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me

I am the first doctoral scholar in the family. Blazing a trail is part of being a pioneer in learning. I also created my own strategies: Technology That Tutors combining the benefits of a blog with video to help teach my students and clients.
