Little Rock, Arkansas,
May 17, 2016 - Author
JB Smiley Jr., a former basketball standout turned lawyer, knows from personal
experience that big dreams for the future don’t always come true. As young
people leave the protection of their parents they begin to experience how
unpredictable life can be. Due to unforeseen circumstances they sometimes are
sidetracked. They will often feel lost without a sense of direction. JB Smiley
Jr. realized after years of dealing with disappointments and regrets that he
always managed to land on his feet. Over the years he never stopped mentoring
younger adults with his lessons learned. His desire to inspire and uplift his
fellow man led him to write this book. He provides his advice on how to
redirect oneself by looking within and finding strength and courage. He will
launch his new book Born With It:
Unleashing Your Greatness on 8 September 2016.
Throughout
history Mentors have been a group of people who are natural teachers. They are
also born talkers. They often take personal interest in helping the careers or
advancement of others without being asked.
They share common traits such as empathy, patience and great
comprehension skills. JB Smiley Jr. is a member of this group.
Smiley is
an attorney born and raised in Memphis, TN and currently living in Little Rock,
AR. His desire and passion to help
others began on the basketball court. During his high school years he always
found time to volunteer at youth basketball camps to teach basketball skills.
He also used this time to pass along wisdom to the next generation. “One step
toward a goal is better than any moment of complacency,” he said. This same
desire and passion continued beyond college. As a professional athlete turned
lawyer, Smiley uses his experiences to motivate those he comes in contact. He often says, “Change is inevitable; just
make sure you are changing for the better.”
Smiley is
very involved in his community. He is a member of various organizations and has
had the pleasure of speaking in several
cities throughout the country. Born With
It: Unleashing Your Greatness, provides a beacon of light on how to break
through the darkness for a brighter future. Pre-order
