  • Set Attainable Goals

  • Stress is Temporary

TESTIMONIALS

"Superstar. That's what Erven Nelson's book can bring out in each of us. His personal story is as compelling as the content, insights, and inspiration he provides. I had heard of his quick career growth at Wawa and wanted to meet the person behind the story. I was immediately taken by Erven's charisma when we first met. It embodied positivity, kindness, and care, all of which you could tell were deep within his DNA. The learnings and life lessons in his book clearly stem from Erven's passion for helping others and are deeply influenced by the love and encouragement his mother provides as his role model. So, if you are looking to be inspired, seeking motivation, and want a plan to help you get to your own inner "Superstar," look no further. Erven is the real deal, and it's going to be fun watching him continue to grow his career, spreading positivity and influencing thousands of people along the way. He's inspired me; now it's your turn."

- Chris Gheysens, President & CEO, Wawa Inc.

"It has been my pleasure to know Erven Nelson for the last five years as Director of Operations, Florida Markets. The smile you see on the cover is the same smile Erven radiates every day and one I have come to love. Not only has he grown in his role at Wawa but as a son and role model of a human being. This book is unique because, unlike traditional authors, Erven did not have to research a topic to write on; he lived it, so these words are from the heart. The most important aspect of The 7L's You Must Take, which makes it practical but profound, is Erven's emphasis on building character rather than attaining success. There is no effectiveness without discipline and no discipline without character. When you engage with these pages, you will be engaging with Erven, the superstar released within."

- Steve Hasher, Director of Operations

"I remember when Erven was nine years old playing the piano, freestyle rapping, leading a youth group, and bringing an energy that screams confidence and much self-esteem. I knew Erven would succeed despite his many trials and unfortunate life circumstances. The 7L's are tried and true - you and your children will learn from an author that continues to release his "superstar" by these same lessons at such a young age. We're all in for a treat."

- Jemile Weeks, NY Mets Coach and founder of WeFam United Inc.

"Erven has spent the past nine years creating and living The 7L's You Must Take. During this time, I have been fortunate to be a confidant, mentor, student, and friend of Erven. This journey has been some of the best moments of my career. He has now developed his method to succeed financially and mentally. This book is a straightforward step-by-step instruction to success for anyone who has felt stagnant, overlooked, devalued, and lost in their career. Please enjoy and utilize the book as Erven intended, as your book. By making this book your OWN, you will succeed and release the superstar within."

- Michael Carragher, Area Manager, Wawa, Inc.
