Its All About YOU – the Book by Kevin Jones
Originally published in 2006
Revised release date in 2025
Kevin Jones initially published this book in 2006 as a guide for his three children. Kevin, his wife, two youngest children and their two dogs were in a near fatal off road accident. They all survived but that day opened up question after question and the one that bothered Kevin and his wife the most were the ones about the children. Biggest question was, who they had set up to take their place if something happened tragically would they provide the knowledge and insight that Kevin and his wife wanted to instill into their minds.
For six months Kevin wrote and wrote and wrote. Over 20 three ring binders with over 200 pages each of hand written notes. Kevin knew there was no way any of his children would even attempt to read these binders. While on a mastermind group call, Kevin asked a few to stay to help him with this. One participant suggested to cut it down to 200 pages and publish it and the kids would always have access to the information. And with that, Kevin Jones became and Author and now 6 books in and 19 working … it is exciting!
One of the greatest parts of the re-write is that we are writing and incorporating a workbook in the book and one here that can be printed and used as notes or a notebook.
Workbook currently being revised.
