A little over a year ago, when we embarked on our vision to launch Life As A Human, I was introduced to someone I have come to call a friend. At that time, Rebel Brown was also in the process of breathing life into a dream. She wanted to publish a book. She wanted to take all of the lessons she has learned through her dynamic career and share them in a book she believed would make a difference.
When she told me this, I thought wow .. now there’s a challenge. There are a great many books on the market aimed at businesses. It’s a crowded space and there are a lot of heavy hitters out there dominating that space. I don’t think that thought ever entered her mind. You see, Rebel had a vision and decided to put her entire focus on that vision. Nothing was going to stop her from getting to the end goal. Moving forward with purpose and drive, she leveraged all of her skills, all of her contacts and, step by step, turned her dream into a reality.
The book is called Defy Gravity and it officially launched yesterday. Defy Gravity was sold out before it even launched. It is currently racing up the charts at Amazon. Overnight it has raced to #854 for all books on Amazon, #6 in Business Systems books and #9 in Marketing for Business Systems books. I am sure that by the time we launch this article, those numbers will have changed.
As important as her book will be to many businesses, to me what is equally as important is that Rebel gives us all an example of what can be done when one has vision, belief, drive and moves with purpose and determination.
Her book has already been reviewed by some very well known writers, international speakers and some pretty high profile sites. Imagine this type of success in such a short period of time!

Rebel, from all your friends here at Life As A Human, congratulations on a great launch and a great book. As well, thank you for being such a great example of what is possible when we dream and breath life into those dreams. I have watched you work very hard to make this come together. And, you didn’t just do it, you did an amazing job. Well done!
To businesses out there that are looking to grow, I say this:
It is astounding to me how so many well-funded companies flounder because they fail to practice sound thinking. Fundamental but critical, Rebel Brown’s Defy Gravity provides dynamic and time-tested wisdom that will clearly delineate successful strategies for business growth. If you want to propel your company to new heights, then I highly recommend that you read and learn from Defy Gravity.
By the way, today, Rebel is offering a FREE Defy Gravity Workbook and More
