*New Book - Even When Failures Make Speeches*
Available now!!!
In the first part of the book, Bentley talks directly to his children about the mistakes that he made when he was younger as it pertains to money, relationships, and education.
He firmly believes that excellence (*or some pursuit thereof) in these three areas is the starting point for all fulfillment in life. He thoroughly describes all the instances where he failed in hopes that his children will not make the same mistakes.
Parenting is the most important job in the world - with no rule book. This is my small attempt to give a piece of advice.
In the second part of the book, he delivers three speeches - Don't Kill the Messenger, Let's Get Real, and Even When Failures Make Speeches.
Don't Kill the Messenger is a plea for individuals to listen to the message when someone is speaking, instead of trying to discredit the person speaking.
Let's Get Real is a short speech about the dangers of blind optimism and pessimism versus the benefits of realism.
Even When Failures Make Speeches is a short speech about the importance of listening to the man who knows what NOT TO DO.
Biography
Born in Albany, Georgia, Marcus T. Bentley is the son of a pastor and educator. He has a beautiful, loving, and supportive wife, Crystal, who has been his rock and unwavering motivation. He has two beautiful children, Alexander and Arianna.
From an early age, Bentley has always been a writer (his parents commonly saw books, poems, songs, and small plays all around the house). He always focused on impacting the lives of the people he met, no matter their status.
Early in life, Bentley heavily pursued a career in music while working as a server and bartender. Some of his music is available on Cdbaby Amazon and other platforms.
At the age of 25, Bentley worked as a kitchen manager at a popular chain restaurant for several years. He used his leadership skills to inspire others to perform at their best and always keep a laugh in their lungs. He was and is still well-known by his friends and family for having a fresh piece of sarcasm ready at all times.
At the age of 29, Bentley enlisted in the United States Army. As a highly decorated Human Resources Sergeant, he helped multiple Soldiers enroll in school and pursue their personal and professional goals.
Currently, Bentley serves as a Drill Sergeant in the United States Army, assisting brand new recruits in increasing their ASVAB scores and increasing their levels of physical endurance.
Bentley believes that even with hard work, without knowledge, many will never reach their true potential. The primary aim of all his books is to help as many people as he can, not impress anyone.
If more failures gave speeches, there would be fewer failures.
Because he has failed numerous times, he made a pact with himself to always tell THE SHORT VERSION, so people don't have to figure it out the hard way or read the long version.
Read and Succeed.
