We Got Mojo!

We Got Mojo!

In his 7th Book, Dr. Raul A. Deju joins forces with 35 of his BFF (Best Friends Forever)including some New York Time Bestselling Authors to take snippets from their lives and reflect on how their mojo allowed them to achieve success and the American Dream.   One thing that is clear is that they are all high-achievers and have made it through awfully difficult conditions that would have stopped people with less grit and tenacity. Their adventures have ranged from escaping genocidal regimes or dictators; to leaving a mostly illiterate South American village to become a world class scientist in the US or recovering from a sniper's bullet in the Middle East and rebuilding oneself.   Dr.Deju and his BFF have been part of the leading innovative forces that have led to the creation of many major modern enterprises such as a number of the Virgin Brand ventures, Esurance.com, Waste Management, Energy Solutions, Appurify, MTV, Nickelodeon, Yahoo, Charles Schwab,  Headwaters, and many other companies. Some of  Dr  Deju's military BFF include the General who led the coalition forces for the invasion of Iraq, Army Rangers, Navy Seals and the first female graduate as an Army Scout helicopter pilot.   Many of the stories are gut-wrenching and would hopefully inspire readers to take their lives to new heights, turn their mojo several notches up and achieve their American Dream. None of the authors have taken time to feel they are victims because they all know they are winners. The authors used their experiences as a launch pad to offer readers their 20 Rules for success - a must read for everyone as they truly work.
