Homeless Man Overcomes Streets And Becomes International Author

Bruce Goldwell was homeless for over 5 years but now has become an international author and has a movie deal in the works

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 10, 2008 – He was once homeless for over 5 years but now is an international author and soon to have a movie produced based on his fantasy adventure series. While he was living on the streets he wrote his books and became a published author. His story is nothing short of amazing. Bruce believes that if he can overcome even the worst of situations to become a successful author and entrepreneur that others can do the same if not better.

Not only has he published 8 books as well as in the process of developing a movie based on his Dragon Keepers series, Bruce is also an advisor for several companies that are well on their way to becoming multi-million dollar enterprises. Two companies he advises: Chinyere International (http://www.chinyereinternational.com/) a modeling/acting agency and RezCom Inc (http://www.quantumphonic.com/) the marketing representative for a new line of speakers both companies based in Salt Lake City, Utah. He also coaches other companies that are in their initial startup phase.

Though Bruce is well on his way to being an international celebrity and helping businesses connect in million dollar deals, he still maintains a modest and very quiet disposition. Whenever he shares his story of homelessness and now his success as a business coach and advisor as well as being an international author, he likes to make a notation about it all with his favorite quote, "Not bad for a homeless guy huh?"

What do others have to say about him?

Muriel Glasgow retired United Nations worker (35 years) said, "Bruce has a treasure trove of ideas which he shares generously. He donates his time unstintingly to helping others realize their dreams. He and I have worked closely on the Excellence in Education Awards of the Worthy Nation Foundation. These words of George Lucas, Film Producer, can epitomize Bruce's life: 'You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you are doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle.' George Lucas, Film Producer. Bruce has not yet found the hurdle giant enough to stop him."

Ted Ciuba, author of The New Think and Grow Rich states, "In my profession, desire and dedication rise to the top. And I've seen Bruce Goldwell, with desire, dedication, talent, courage and persistence rising up from being HOMELESS to where he now helps successful business entrepreneurs make multi-million dollar deals! He is on to something, and I recommend you find out what that is!"

During his time living on the streets in Los Angeles, Bruce learned what it takes to survive on the streets. There were days a great disappointment where just to get enough money to eat he held up a sign saying, "homeless Vietnam veteran - please help!" Because of this he has a passion to help others so that they never have to end up on the streets.

Having overcome his plight, Bruce wrote books about how you can change your life by changing the way you think. "You don't know what you don't know", he states. "And what you don't know can be the very thing that sinks your ship."

Bruce has a big concern about all the baby boomers that are about to retire. He believes that a lot of people are not going to end up with what they think they are going to.

Literally millions of baby boomers will not be adequately prepared for retirement. Government statistics still show that as many as 92% and more that retire still need another source of income to maintain keeping their heads above water. Less then 5% of those that retire have enough funds to have a lifestyle that does not require a secondary income. Bruce Goldwell wants to change that as he is creating an alliance of coaches and mentors to help teach those that want to know how to build that nest egg over the next few years to do so. Imagine being able to depend on ones own retirement account and live well above the average lifestyle.

Doris Daetwyler is 83 years old and spent her whole life expecting social security to provide for her for retirement. She should have been able to retire over 15 years ago however she works as a cashier at Walmart in Florida.

There are tens of thousands of senior citizens who face the same challenge daily just like just as her. "If I can help just 10% of ONE MILLION of those millions of people that have not yet created an adequate nest egg to retire on, that will be 100,000 people that I will have helped not only retire with substantial savings to do so but for many of them they will be able to retire early", states Goldwell. "You don't know what you don't know and in Doris's case, she didn't know that social security was not going to be able to help her stop working."

Bruce believes that his best way of helping others to improve their current lifestyle as well as prepare for the future is to share his knowledge, experience and wisdom through books. In his ‘Mastery of Abundant Living” series, he teaches how to create the mindset needed to attract success. This series has already begun to be released in countries outside the United States and is available in other languages. Soon after the release of the first Mastery book in Brazil over 1,000 copies were sold.

Goldwell is not concerned with the number of books sold as much as he is the number of people he is able to help. When he received his first review from one of his readers telling him how much he had changed their life, he felt like he had already been successful. But not with more people sharing their stories of success and life changes from reading his books he is realizing that he will touch ten of thousands of lives. For any of us that would be a great feeling.

We believe like Ted that Bruce is on to something here. Many people are grateful that he did not give up while living on the streets and that he made the decision to overcome his plight and work to change the world.
