On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his conversation with Nelson Perez, this time focussing on the books he’s written and why he wrote them.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I had a couple of purposes as to why I wrote my first book, ‘Heart of a Cuban’ which I wrote under my initials so my family back home in Cuba weren’t persecuted. The first was that I wrote it for my grandkids so that they know who they are and where they come from. I also wrote it for someone only knows rum, salsa dancing, antique cars and beautiful women come from Cuba. Cuba is much more than that and it’s important to know how we got here.
- I still have nightmares about witnessing my grandfather get executed in front of me when I was a child. Putting my story out there takes it from the back of your mind, puts it up front and you get to release a lot of that anger and hostility that you’ve held inside.
- I was ghost writing a story for a fellow once and was corroborating his story with historical facts by talking to several people including his mum. His mum gave me a 180-degree different story from one he had told me. It’s amazing how two people can see one incident totally differently, no doubt what they both told me was correct in their minds, in the end I think they were both wrong!
- You always have to have music and flowers in the house every day, otherwise it’s not a home. Every morning I try to sit and drink coffee and listen to Cuban jazz, it sets you on the right tone for the day.
BEST MOMENTS
‘A lot of people think you become a millionaire by writing a book: No is the simple answer. You’ll become a millionaire from the satisfaction you get from writing it'.
‘Generally speaking, a self-published writer who’s written their first book will sell on average about 50 books'.
‘All the proceeds of my book go back to renovate my church back home in Cuba which is run by a friend of mine. It was never a money thing for me'.
‘Writing is a mechanism that’s the best way of getting things out, whether you’re writing a book or a letter to your pastor'.
