Interview with Ambali Oluwasina
Published 2015-09-01.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The first story I ever read that drew me to write my first book is "The Secret" authored by Rhonda Bryne, It really made me rethink my life and how I want to live my life, later I read, Think Big and Grow Big, these books really changed my perceptive about life and how I can help become the change that I want to see in the world
How do you approach cover design?
I have the idea about my cover design and I ask a very good designer friend to help me with the design, We had like three drafts before we picked our final design which is seen on the book.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
The number one book is Goals By Brian Tracy, this book allows me to reflect on my daily goals and make me make more goals as it is said, if your goals are easy to attain, then you have not dreamed high enough.
Next is The Secret series by Rhonda Bryne, This book is mind blowing, I can't think the Secret team enough, its mind opening and eye opener to my dream as an author
Another Book I classify as one of my favourite five is Think Rich and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, He is a seasonal author which I want to emulate with my writings.
You are born rich by Bob Proctor is one of my fav, it allows me to reflect on how rich I am truly born and how I can go about attaining the greatness in me.
From Rats to Riches by Usher Morgan is there on my first five, this book tells me never to allow my past to impede my future, it shows me that I can forgive myself and move on with my life.
What do you read for pleasure?
What I read for pleasure are Mangas, I love the Naruto version, they are my favourite mangas,
What is your e-reading device of choice?
My Tablet is my device of choice, it makes me more convenient and it adds style to what I am reading, also I read on my 5.5 in Android Phone which is fabulous still.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew in a religious environment and it has really influenced my writing, Being religious has made me value the essence of motivational writing and speaking, it has always made me realise that I can be better than who and what I am presently.
When did you first start writing?
I started writing about five years ago but I was not opportune to publish my manuscripts, around 2010
What's the story behind your latest book?
The story behind my latest book can be summed up to when I have finished writing the vomit draft and I was introduced to a man that claimed to be a publisher, I was scammed close to $200 for him to help me do what you are able to read, He promised to help with my work which I trusted him with, I later found out that he is a fraud, luckily he was apprehended by the Police and part of the money was recovered, but the story behind the books is that if I had given up on this book, there would be no Paths to Financial Prosperity for you to read, I never allowed the mistakes of my past to limit my greatness or prevent me from reaching the pinnacle of my success.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
The joy of being able to impart the knowledge coupled with my personal experience is joy enough for me.
What do your fans mean to you?
My fans mean the world to me, they are my everything, without them, there will be no me, and I am grateful to God for the privilege that I am able to showcase my works to all my fans around the world.
What are you working on next?
I am working on a couple of more works, Some of them are Fiction and some are still Motivational, they are all available on my Network Blog www.pathstofreedomnetwork.com. Some of them are Just Listen, The Player and Joy of the Anointing.
