Yasmin Shiraz

I'm an author and an award winning filmmaker. I write books that are inspired by the things that I witness in life. I used to own an entertainment magazine, Mad Rhythms. My first book, The Blueprint for My Girls was taken from my teenage journals. My second book, The Blueprint for My Girls in Love was inspired by all the relationship issues that me and my friends had from high school and through college. So far in my career, I've had two really GREAT breakthrough books: The Blueprint for my Girls and my first young adult fiction book, Retaliation. Retaliation was named as a Top Ten Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers by the American Library Association.

    Teens, Handle Your Business - Yasmin Shiraz

    Preface

    When I wrote my first Motivation & Success Workbook, all I could think about were goals. I focused on teaching young people how to identify their goals, focus on their goals and of course, achieve their goals. As time passed and I thought more about how to stay motivated and succeed, I thought about the importance of eliminating distractions and making success happen for you. In this new workbook, I've included some parts of my first Blueprint Guide and I've added some elements to make this new workbook fresh.

    This workbook is entitled Teens, Handle Your Business because when I look at the role models that young people have today, I see how they are impressed by actors, models, athletes, and business people. Young people identify with successful people from all backgrounds. Many of us may not see an actor such as Rayven Symone or Robert Pattinson as a businessperson, but they had to handle their business in order to get to where they are. The models that you see on television or in magazine ads are attractive but their looks aren't enough to get them on the cover of Vogue. They had to show up to the model calls, they had to answer the phone when a job called them, and they had to be available to do what was needed of them. In other words, they had to handle their business. Every person who's had consistent success in their lives has had to handle their business along the way.

    I haven’t met many people who’ve said, I don’t want to be successful. I believe it is because most people would order success if it were on a menu. But success isn’t on a menu. You can’t grab it while waiting in the checkout line of your local grocery store; you’re not going to stumble upon it while walking the dog, and as a result, achieving success continues to be a mystery to many. There are numerous books written about success but the books are only as good as a person’s desire to apply the principles within the book. Teens, Handle Your Business is a workbook. That’s your hint. You’re going to have to work in order for these tools to assist you.

    In this workbook, I’ve created chapters that will help you set goals, eliminate distractions and put together a plan of action. As much as possible I’ve tried to take the mystery out of obtaining success. The first five chapters ask questions such as, Who Are You? What Do You Want To Do?, What Motivates You?, What Are Your Challenges? and What Are Your Assets? These relatively simple questions cause you to think about issues that may have never crossed your mind. Your answers will help you to understand your innermost goals and desires.

    In each chapter, I share personal experiences from various stages of my life. I want to let you know that I’ve been where you are preparing to go. I’ve always written in a journal and kept to-do lists to help me navigate through my life. In this workbook, I’ve created 24 'Check Yourself' tools that were designed to help you write down, analyze, and capture the most challenging aspects of devising your personal
