Understanding who truly supports you is one of the most important lessons a young person can learn. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce the release of my new ebook and audiobook, Supporters: Real or Fake? Spot the Difference. This guide is designed to empower students with the tools to identify genuine supporters in their lives and navigate relationships with confidence and clarity.
Let’s start with a sample from the audiobook:
This sample gives just a glimpse of what students will discover in the full book: how to critically evaluate the people in their lives and make choices that align with their goals and values.
Why Students Need This Lesson
From a young age, students often gravitate toward influences that may not serve their best interests. Whether it’s social media influencers, peers with poor decision-making skills, or even authority figures who lack positive guidance, the examples students follow can set the tone for their futures.
Unfortunately, too many students end up looking to the wrong role models and building their lives around relationships that hinder rather than help. The result? A road paved with unnecessary obstacles, missed opportunities, and regret.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
This book challenges students to reflect on their current support systems and ask the tough questions:
- Are these people encouraging my growth or holding me back?
- Do they truly have my best interests at heart, or are they using me for their own gain?
- How can I surround myself with people who inspire and uplift me?
Building a Foundation for Success
A solid support system is the foundation of personal and professional success. Students with strong, positive influences are more likely to:
- Achieve their academic goals
- Develop a healthy sense of self-esteem
- Avoid toxic relationships and environments
- Build a network of mentors and peers who push them toward greatness
Through Supporters: Real or Fake?, I aim to teach students how to recognize the subtle differences between genuine supporters and those who might lead them astray. The book introduces concepts like “tendencies” instead of rigid labels, making it easier for students to spot patterns and behaviors in their relationships.
Why This Book Matters
Many students aren’t taught the critical life skill of evaluating relationships. Instead, they go through life blindly trusting or following others without understanding the consequences. This book fills that gap.
It emphasizes the importance of being selective about who you allow into your inner circle. It’s about empowering students to take control of their lives, make informed decisions, and choose relationships that propel them forward instead of holding them back.
A Message to Students
To every student reading this: Your future is yours to shape. The people you surround yourself with can either be a springboard to success or a weight dragging you down. The good news is that you have the power to choose.
You don’t have to follow bad examples or let toxic relationships define your path. Instead, you can learn to identify real supporters—those who genuinely care about your growth and success—and build a life of purpose and achievement.
