1. Kimanzi Constable
Kimanzi Constable is a contributing writer for Entrepreneur and The Huffington Post. He is also the bestselling author of Are You Living Or Existing? He always had a love for writing- although, it took some time for him to embrace it and create a living from it. He dropped out of high school and was homeless for a period. He caught a few breaks but his challenges got the best of him. After years of mismanaging his life, he was 170 pounds overweight and $180,000 in debt. Every part of his life was falling apart. It was at that time when he rediscovered his love for writing. He published his first book, Tales of The Everyday Working Man. With the lackluster sales of his book, he soon realized that he needed to learn much more about publishing. A year and a half later, he released his second book, Are You Living Or Existing?, which was much more successful. To this day, Kimanzi has sold over 100,000 books. He teaches writers by explaining specific strategies. He has said, “There’s a wealth of general teachings that sound great in theory but have no practical application. My goal is to always get specific and give the audience what can help them.” He recognizes that being a successful entrepreneur is no easy feat. In many of his articles, he teaches his readers how to control their emotions, instead of letting their emotions control them. Moreover, Kimanzi likes to encourage his readers to have fun with it. Many of his readers enjoys his rants about his loyalty to Taylor Swift. Kimanzi is an example of what everyone should do as they travel the road to success. What is that? … Be yourself!
