Goodreads asked Hernani Alves:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Hernani Alves Simple: take action. So many writers have great ideas, but they talk themselves out of it. The only way you’re going to get what you want is by going for it. If you’re waiting for someone else or luck, you’ll never get what you want.

For example, I was told over and over for nearly a decade to write a book about Accountability in the workplace. It wasn’t until I shared this crazy idea with my ten-year-old son, Riley. His response was, “Dad, you always tell me to take action. It’s your turn to take action!” Riley was right; I took action by surrounding myself with the right people and wrote the book; Balanced Accountability – Three Leadership Secrets to Win Hearts and Maximize Performance.
