About this ebook
Your thoughts become your reality and directly influence how you feel and behave. Isn't it time you take control of your thoughts? Are your ready to transform your thoughts and get all that life has to offer you? Would you like a better career, more money, and better relationships? This book is for anyone who believes they were meant for more than the status quo. Through stories and practical tips King Mentality will help you to:
•Transform your thoughts and get the life you deserve.
•Achieve higher levels of success in your personal and professional lives.
•Connect the dots in life to discover your purpose.
•Identify and change self-defeating behaviors that keep you stuck.
•To unlock your power and become the hero of your own story.
Changing your life requires an open mind. As you read the chapters, participate in the provided exercises to assist you with your transformation. This book was written in four pillars using the acronym K.I.N.G.
The first begins with “K” for Knowledge. This section focuses on real-life events and experiences needed to develop a successful life and career. In chapter one, “Self-knowledge,” you’ll discover a process to uncover who you are, your strengths, and how to it relates to your overall success and happiness. Chapter two, “Success is Not an Accident,” will walk you through the process of how you are in control of your achievements; and to continue, chapter three teaches on the goal development process in having a game plan for your life.
Pillar two is “Impact.” You will learn how leaving a mark on society builds a living legacy. But first, you must learn to connect the dots to identify your life’s purpose (discussed in chapter four).
The third pillar is “N” for Navigate. This section analyzes various routes in navigating obstacles and experiences we encounter on life’s road. Chapter five, “Get Out of Your Own Way,” looks at self-defeating behaviors that block your success and intercept life’s blessings. We learn to formulate self-care processes into everyday living, face fears, and turn self-doubt into confidence.
Lastly, we conclude with “Greatness” as the fourth pillar. You’ll learn how to become the hero in your own life’s story, and how to apply the King Mentality for future success.
Whether you are in need for change or looking for positive motivation, I hope this book will lead you in receiving an increase in happiness, success, and fulfillment. You’ll find by having powerful intentions, and transforming your thoughts, you can shape your reality into becoming your best life yet.

Dedication
This book is dedicated to the four most important people on this earth who call me Mom (aka Max).
To Tequá,
From the moment you were born it was you and I against the world and our theme song was Every Little Step
by Bobby Brown. You inspired me to push myself harder than my time spent in boot camp preparing for the United States Navy. At the mere age of three-years-old you would introduce me to folks stating, My Mommy’s name is Dr. Karen King
even before I finished school. You spoke life into my dreams of becoming a scientist. On days I had to take you to class with me, you sat quietly drawing pictures in Anatomy and Physiology. I never missed class. Today, you are your own success story: graduating college with honors, and in three years.
To Denzel,
You came into this world completely skipping, crawling, and started walking at seven-and-a-half months. You have an intense drive about yourself, and I often see myself in you. Our theme song when you were born was by favorite singer Aaliyah At Your Best (You Are Love).
You gave me strength to succeed in life. You inspired me to push myself when I took my first industry job in cancer research a year after losing my little brother to cancer. It was a struggle to see how fast those cancer cells grew under the microscope but when I came home, you and your sister’s faces inspired me to push through it. You always had a drive for business. At the age five, you said you were going to own a pizza shop, and we could all work for you. Now, you are on your way to management and working on your music.
To Jordan,
When you were born you had this perfect little round face that always wanted to keep me in your sights. Our theme song was Angel of Mine
by Monica because when I looked at you, you gave me courage to do more for my career; so, we moved across the country to CA for a better life. Your mind is such a gift. You taught yourself to multiply at age six and later, was accepted into John Hopkins’ program for the gifted. The way you view the world and the intellectual discussions you have on space, politics, law, business, and your drive to invent something are all such great qualities. I can’t wait to see you graduate from college and continue to do great things.
To Kiera,
From the moment you were born you were such a tremendous joy to our family and have always made your own path. Our theme song was If I Ain’t Got You
by Alicia Keys. A child protege who started reading fluently at the age two, your love for learning has never stopped. While completing kindergarten at four years old you tested on the fourth-grade level. It was no surprise you taught yourself Algebra at seven. Your dedication as a dancer started at age two when you announced every Saturday morning it was ballet day.
As I watch you grow it’s like looking in a mirror. Today you are an amazing person with compassion for others, and volunteer throughout the community. You continue to amaze me every day, and I can’t wait to see the impact you make on this world
It’s not lonely at the top if you take someone with you.
―Karen D. King
Introduction
Great minds are those who see that thoughts rule the world.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
At one time or another we all face challenges in our lives. What can you do today to achieve your best life? What would you do if you weren’t scared? Do you struggle with letting go of self-defeating habits? Are you settling for less than what you are worth? How can your life be more meaningful beginning today? What if I told you by reading this book you can transform your thoughts and beliefs to create a mindset of prosperity? You are in control and you have the power to decide how great your life will become. The concept of King Mentality is using your internal power—combined with the capacity of intelligent thought—to achieve anything. You too can change your mindset to transcend your life in any direction. In this book I will show you how I went from being broke to living the life of my dreams as a scientist and award-winning leader. In the words of the artist Drake We started from the bottom now we’re here.
I was born as the oldest of four children to a single mom in Harlem, New York. In the early days, we lived in a small, one-bedroom brownstone apartment. When we moved to a bigger one during my teenage years, I was able to have a shared bedroom with my younger sister. Yet, this bigger apartment came at a risk: we had to pass drug dealers who made their sales as we entered and exited our home. The crack epidemic and war on drugs era were starting.
My mom did the best she could to ensure we had a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, and food on the table, but we struggled to survive. In the seventh grade, I never had money to eat lunch. I used to take rides on the local bus during lunch to hide not having money from my friends. I told them I was going home instead. Looking back, I don’t regret those days because it was on those bus rides that I began mapping
