DREAM BIG – YOU GOTTA BELIEVE

There are some life events that nothing can prepare you for. Steve Balsamo, who grew up in Brooklyn in the 1950s, has had his share of tragedy, struggle and obstacles to overcome. He has faced the challenges of life and business with his head held up, always moving forward, and never giving up and never giving in. He’s had his share of fires, floods, strikes and a stabbing. A kid nearly dying in his arms, and narrowly escaped death himself. And of course, there have always been the arguments, conflicts and challenges that every family endures. But Steve is a survivor and a winner, and he has always come out on top. Through My Eyes is a personal example of how outlook, attitude and leveraging personal resources can create success. You’ll be inspired by Steve’s journey; his willingness to make lemonade from life’s lemons, his reliance on a strong woman behind him…and his experience with Walter, his secret friend.

In these troubled times it's refreshing to read about a person who achieved success despite great odds, and who did it the old fashion way; through hard work, blind faith, determination and true grit. To often people have come to expect something for nothing or someone else to provide for them, but not Steve. Only in America can someone come from nothing and rise up to be all they can be! This is a true story about just such a man, and it will inspire you to be your best, it will bring you to tears and it will make you laugh. This book is a must read for people of all ages, sizes, shapes and colors... AR
