People have always wondered how I’ve been able t People have always wondered how I’ve been able to accomplish so many things. It’s simple really...I NEVER GIVE UP! I DO WHATEVER IT TAKES! 💚💚💚 I wrote and self-published a poetry book, then I did all the marketing myself I sold hundreds of books to people I didn’t know. I went on local t.v. promoting my book. I didn’t have an agent (still don’t). I booked the interview myself. 💚💚💚 I didn’t have the money for SDR, a life-changing surgery for cerebral palsy, so I started a fundraiser. Oh, yeah, my crappy HMO wouldn’t approve the surgery out of state, so I found another way to get insured so I could have the surgery with a world-renowned neurosurgeon. 💚💚💚 I wanted to get the word out about the surgery to help others. I couldn’t figure out how to get published in HuffPost, so I went straight to the top, messaged Arianna Huffington. She REPLIED, I cried and the rest is history. 💚💚💚 I wanted to transition my blog to a website. I’m not a web designer, but I created my website by myself (after I bought a beautiful template). I had no idea what I was doing. I kept working at it until I figured it out. People who know what they’re doing, and who probably spent a lot of money designing their own sites, say it looks professional! The best $60 I ever spent! 💚💚💚 I wanted cerebral palsy to get the attention it deserves, and I became the first person ever to get at least one building, bridge, landmark, etc. in almost all 50 states (and three different countries) to light up in green on TWO different days (about seven months apart) in 2019. I had no idea how to do this, I have NO experience in marketing. I worked on it for six months, I wrote, distributed my press release and my Go Green for CP campaign was on the news in two different states, and in some newspapers, etc., too. 💚💚💚 Think about me the next time you say you don’t know how to do something... 💚💚💚 I share this to encourage you to NEVER GIVE UP!! #nicoleluongo #whatCPlookslike #cerebralpalsy #GoGreen4CP #authorsofinstagram #disabilityadvocate #justdoit #nevergiveup
