I've been around the block ... and I tell ya, this new Harry Potter book is getting more hyped up than a guy in a question mark suit yelling about free government money on late night TV. I haven't seen a public outcry like this since they called for Jar-Jar Binks to be banished to a galaxy far, far away. J.K. Rowling has really done a number here with the Potter phenomenon ... in more ways than one.

Just 18 years ago, this dame was a single mom who wrote at the local cafe to save on the heating bill at home. Now she's one of Britain's richest. Why? Because she found what worked for her (these stories), dug her heels in and worked. As a result, she's got a billion bucks to her name and has more fame than she can shake Brangelina at. Take a clue from that, baby. Find what you do best, get a goal for it and then charge at your goal like an out-of-control oliphant. It's the stuff that dreams are made of.
