Atlanta, GA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/18/2015 -- Atlanta-based motivational speaker and now best-selling author, Brandon L. Draper, will be at FAB Studios, in Stone Mountain, Georgia, on Saturday, February 21, 2015, from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM to celebrate and sign copies of his recently released and well-received book, Becoming Who You Should Be Despite Who You Are.

This book represents the culmination of Brandon's life experiences and his desire to help everyday people step out of their situations, no matter how bleak, and into the life they want and deserve. Published in January of this year, the book contains details of the life struggles Brandon has overcome and how he has continued to thrive through all of these difficulties.

Though his life has been relatively short so far, his wisdom, gained from his observances during these tough, trying times, rivals that of any more aged advisor.

"I wrote this book as an extension of the motivational and inspirational speaking I do professionally. It just seemed natural to expand my audience through a book, as I knew I could reach a larger audience that I may not otherwise have a chance to come in contact with," Brandon said.

"I have found my purpose in life. When serving in the US Army in the Afghanistan War, I realized that I if I got out of there alive, I wanted to invest in people's lives the way so many people had invested in mine. I just want to help others experience the joy and peace that comes from living their purpose.

"I see so many people who have given up in their lives or who have never really gotten started because of their circumstances, but I want people to know that no matter where they are now, they can become leaders and influence others positively, overcome their struggles and fears, improve their finances, and make something out of themselves that they can be proud of.

"I can't believe the response I have gotten from this book so far, and I just want to invite people to come to the book signing to celebrate with me and enjoy a few hours of music, food, networking, and inspiration.

Atlanta, GA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/16/2015 -- Known as The Motivational King, motivational speaker Brandon L. Draper, doesn't do anything without aiming to be the best. And though it was no different when writing and releasing his first book, Becoming Who You Should Be, Despite Who You Are, he didn't expect to become an Amazon Best Selling Author with an Amazon Best Selling Book, within 24 hours of launch – though that is exactly what he did.

When asked about his reasons for writing this book, Draper said, "I wrote this book not only with the intention of motivating and inspiring others to open their minds and see the opportunities that are in front of them, but also with the desire to instill in them the courage to be leaders and live their dreams.

"Though I am only 30 years old, I have experienced more than most people have in life through growing up poor with a single mom and spending time in the War in Afghanistan. I believe I have a little different perspective to offer, and I have committed my life to sharing it with people.

"But more than that, I want people to know that there is someone out there who cares about them and wants them to be their best. I didn't get where I am today without the help and support of others, and I want to let others know that I am here to help them.

"I already reach countless individuals through my speaking engagements each year, but I want to reach a larger audience. This book allows me to do that, but when it comes down to it, if I can touch just one person and change his or her life for the better with this book, all the hard work will have been worth it for me."

And while Brandon admits that he is still basking in the glow of his newly found success, he hasn't stopped moving forward with the next phase of his plan.

"My next project is the launch of my online university, Thinking Forward University in Atlanta, Georgia, which will teach people to do exactly what I have done.

"There, I will give people an easy-to-follow roadmap that will allow them to utilize their unique skills and talents to become their own bosses and create better lives for themselves. I will even show them my simple process for writing their own books and becoming Amazon Best Sellers in 90 days or less, even if they know nothing about writing."

Between writing and hosting classes at his university, Brandon keeps a tight schedule on the road, delivering inspiring lectures to audiences large and small across the United States, Canada, and Europe.

He can be contacted by people who want to attend Start Thinking Forward University or businesses and organizations looking for a motivational speaker by calling 866-678-3391 or going to http://www.TheMotivationalKing.com His best-selling book, Becoming Who You Should Be, Despite Who You Are, can be purchased on Amazon.com
