Asheville, NC – May 29, 2015 – Jeff Powell, creator of Books4Veterans.com has joined a select group of business experts and entrepreneurs from around the world, along with best-selling author and business development expert Jack Canfield to co-write the forthcoming book titled, Soul of Success Vol. 2. Nick Nanton, Esq. along with business partner, JW Dicks, Esq., the leading agents to Celebrity Experts® worldwide, recently signed a publishing deal with each of these authors to contribute their expertise to the book, which will be released under their CelebrityPress™ imprint.
Jeff Powell was stationed in California, serving the U.S. Navy Seabees, when he became disabled. Upon his discharge, his commanding officer made a final, parting request. He asked Jeff to continue supporting U.S. military men and women, and his nation’s future veterans.
Jeff accepted the challenge gladly and committed wholeheartedly to it. Since then, helping others has become his life’s mission. The words of Jeff’s CO’s remained clear to him even during the difficulties he had adjusting to with his disability, the hardships he encountered readjusting to society, the time he spent homeless, and the years he spent caring for his ailing mother.
Jeff eventually established VerifiedSupporter.com, a non-profit organization. It’s a resource and community forum for all matters veteran. From there, he established other web sites which also serve as helpful resources, including sites dedicated to helping veterans launch successful online businesses.
One of Jeff’s sites is Books4Veterans.com. After leaving the military, Jeff attended college to deal with his disability and soon exhausted his book stipend because of the exorbitantly restrictive cost of books. Consequently, he created Books4Veterans.com as a place for veterans and other college students to buy, sell, or donate used books. Books4Veterans.com aims to make the continued studies and self-improvement efforts of our veterans a little easier, and a whole lot more affordable.
The “4Veterans” concept is Jeff’s brainchild, or rather heart-child, and his mission is simple: To bring people together – business, government, and veterans – to help and support each other. Jeff likes to say that, together, we can all lend a hand and weather any crisis.
Apart from Books4Veterans, Jeff has dedicated his life to developing many other projects (or “hobbies” as he prefers to call them) for the greater good of all military veterans, their families, and their communities. To date, Jeff has pioneered these veteran initiatives:

About the author:
Jeff immediately became a Verified Veteran Supporter and established www.VerifiedSupporter.com, a non-profit organization, resource, and a community forum and blog for all matters Veteran; and then another website called Military Veteran Entrepreneurs at www.EntrepreneurVeteran.com, which is a helpful resource to launching a successful online business, where Jeff’s eBook “Your Guide to Launching an Online Business” is available for sale and all proceeds go to worthy Veteran causes. Then, keen to improve his education after returning to civilian life, Jeff soon exhausted his book stipend, because of the exorbitantly restrictive cost of books. Knowing there must be SO many books out there that someone else could be using more productively, and rather than give up and be a burden to society, Jeff decided to hire a team of professionals to build a website that would cater specifically to the needs of his Veteran college students, as well as to help alleviate the astronomical cost of text books that so negatively affect them all. So Jeff created www.Books4Veterans.com Coming soon!, as the perfect place for Veterans and all College Students alike, to buy good used books, and to donate or sell their books. Books4Veterans aims to make the further studies and self-improvement efforts of our Veterans a little easier, and a whole lot more affordable; while showing gratitude to those who served our country, and to take a stand and lend a hand to those who’ve helped make our freedoms possible. Then, realizing there were SO many other ways he could serve his fellow Veteran and his community at the same time, Jeff expanded his vision and created many other supportive websites, resources, forums and societies for Veterans. Jeff’s “4Veterans” Initiatives The “4Veterans” concept is Jeff’s brainchild, or rather heart-child, and his mission is simple: To bring people together – Business, Government, Veterans, all Americans – to help and support each other. Jeff says: “Together, we can all lend a hand and weather any crisis!” Apart from Books4Veterans, Jeff has dedicated his life to developing many other projects, or ‘hobbies’ as he prefers to call them, for the greater good of all Military Veterans, their families and their communities. As a shining testimony to his unconditional commitment, and his incredible motivation and drive, here’s a list of all the worthy Veteran initiatives Jeff has pioneered to date: · Running4Veterans (www.running4veterans.com) · Verified Veteran Supporter – (https://www.facebook.com/verifiedveteransupporter?ref=hl) · Military Veteran Entrepreneurs (www.entrepreneurveteran.com) Jeff is now intent on giving back and helping the greater Veteran community throughout the United States, especially when comes to books to further their studies and improve their lives, and other resources that unite and inspire communities, throughout the country. Jeff says: “Serving the community is a state of mind, the kind of passion that carries you day-to-day, and that is what drives me every day throughout this journey.” With Jeff’s tireless energy and unconditional commitment to helping his fellow man, his 4Veterans initiatives go the extra mile by providing a supportive community service that helps alleviate some of the challenges and obstacles encountered by Veterans and non-Veterans alike. Although Jeff still faces many challenges, both in his personal life and with his disability, he is one of the most courageous, motivated and dedicated people supporting Veterans in the United States today. Jeff truly has the passion for, and a deep insight of, what it takes to help his fellow Veterans, all while showing unconditional support for the Department of Veteran Affairs. And there is a bittersweet twist in Jeff’s life story. Shortly after Jeff’s son Jeremiah was born (April 19), Jeff lost his Mother to a prolonged illness on Independence Day this year, July the 4th 2014. Jeff was unwaveringly at her side to the end, and his Mother, an avid Veteran Supporter, left Jeff a final request too: “Keep up your good work, my son. Our country is proud of you!” Jeff is now more inspired than ever, to help and serve.
