SEATTLE, Aug. 5, 2024 ~ As the world celebrates the 20th anniversary of "If You Think You Can!", a motivational masterpiece that has inspired countless readers, we reflect on the remarkable journey of its author, TJ Hoisington.
In 2004, Hoisington sat in the backseat of his car at a local grocery store parking lot, determined to bring a message of empowerment to the world. Two months later, his determination paid off as "If You Think You Can!" was born. Fueled by a passion for helping others overcome their challenges and unlock their potential, Hoisington poured his heart and soul into writing this book.
During the writing process, Hoisington received invaluable advice from renowned author Jack Canfield. Canfield recommended that 30-40 individuals review the manuscript and provide feedback, stating that "No matter how good a writer a person is, we all have blind spots." This collaborative approach ensured that the book's messages were clear, impactful, and accessible to a wide audience.
Within nine months of its release, "If You Think You Can!" became an international bestseller, captivating readers in 38 countries. Its success was a testament to the universal appeal of its empowering content. Today, the book is in its fifteenth edition and continues to inspire new generations with its timeless wisdom.
