In this empowering book, author Derrick Grissom encourages young readers to challenge their circumstances and transform their lives with a renewed sense of purpose. Growing up the oldest of 3 young men in a single parent household with their mother, and dropping out of high school at the age of 17 while still in a 9th grade homeroom, Derrick provides a unique message of hope for today's youth. Ultimately returning to school to attain his GED and then going on to earn multiple degrees and certifications, to include his MBA degree, Derrick knows firsthand what it is like to persevere on this journey called life. As a self-publishing author of 3 books, a trained professional speaker, an executive leader who sits on several boards, and an entrepreneur, Derrick uses Your Real Life as a tool to motivate and inspire young people to truly pursue their Limitless Potential, without any execuses.

Addressing the unique struggles and challenges that youth often face, Your Real Life provides practical advice and valuable insights to help navigate the turbulent waters of adolescence. Derrick's relatable anecdotes, combined with actionable strategies, offer a roadmap to overcome obstacles and tap into the uncharted potential within.

While this book is designed with today's youth in mind, its principles are universal, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking personal growth and transformation. As you journey through the pages of Your Real Life, remember the author's guiding mantra: 

"Always Remember, Your Potential is Limitless!"

This message serves as a constant reminder that regardless of your background or past struggles, your future is brimming with untapped potential waiting to be unlocked.
