About Us

Archie J. Smalls, Sr. is an author, craftsman, and businessman whose life exemplifies faith, tenacity, and a strong belief in the value of maintaining concentration.  He was up in the little South Carolina community of Moncks Corner, where African Americans had few chances.  Archie decided to forge a new route because he grew up in a setting where many goals were dashed due to a lack of resources.  He chose to demonstrate that perseverance and faith could overcome barriers rather than accept those limitations.  That attitude served him well in sales, carpentry, and eventually writing, and it continues to be the central theme of all of his creations.

 Archie has a lot of manual skills, from woodworking to playing music, but his greatest talent has always been his interpersonal skills.  He discovered that gift helped him in sales, where he established a solid reputation for integrity, dependability, and diligence.  He eventually became the first person of color to open a profitable vehicle dealership in Berkeley County, marking a significant milestone in his community.  That accomplishment was not only personal; it demonstrated to those around him that obstacles could be overcome with commitment and foresight.

 His mother encouraged him to start writing in 2006, telling him that he needed to share his narrative and experiences.  Archie started writing Stay Driven: Inspirational Guidelines for Success in the same year.  The book evolved into a memoir and a manual, inspiring readers to achieve success with faith and determination through his life lessons and ten contemporary parables.  Since then, writing has taken center stage in his career as a means of mentoring and inspiring people more broadly.

 Archie has written a number of novels throughout the years, all of which touch on the themes of faith, tenacity, and individual accountability.  The book You Can If You Think You Can: Positive Guidelines for Success reminds readers that attitude is crucial and that if you believe in yourself and don’t give up, you can always make progress.  Perseverance & Persistence encourages readers to maintain motivation, make objectives, and develop spiritually by fusing self-help ideas with Christian inspiration.  Belief, Faith, and Hope emphasizes the connection between biblical knowledge and day-to-day tasks, demonstrating how faith, humility, and leadership may create a purposeful existence.  Stop Allowing Your Fear and Procrastination to Hinder Your Belief, Faith, and Perseverance takes a practical look at how fear and delay can derail dreams, offering personal stories alongside strategies to push through hesitation.  His collection of work keeps growing, but each book returns to the same conclusion: discipline and faith are the cornerstones of a happy existence.

 Archie writes in a straightforward and methodical manner.  He often finds inspiration in quiet moments, sometimes in the early hours of the morning.  His ideas are jotted down, shaped into notes, and then expanded into complete chapters.  His advice—that success isn’t created overnight but rather requires constant daily work—is reflected in this strategy.  This same grounded mindset is reflected in his influences.  He admires Oprah for her authenticity and resilience, and he often draws on biblical stories, noting how they connect directly to business, leadership, and personal growth.

 Archie likes doing easy, calming things while he’s not writing.  He has always found joy in music, and when he wants to relax, he plays the guitar.  He loves working in his yard, watching butterflies, and finishing outdoor projects that bring him peace and satisfaction.  Long drives, quiet reading, and observing the world around him also fuel his creativity and perspective.  Though he has achieved public milestones, he remains an introvert at heart who values reflection and steady living.

 What makes Archie’s work resonate is how practical it is.  He doesn’t write to impress or to follow trends—he writes to give readers something useful they can apply.  His books remind people to stay positive, avoid negative influences, and take control of their mindset.  He encourages readers to trust God, believe in themselves, and approach each challenge with discipline and perseverance.  His journey, from small-town beginnings to business success and authorship, embodies the very lessons he teaches.

 Archie J. Smalls, Sr. continues to inspire through his words and example.  His legacy is not only in the milestones he has achieved but in the people he has encouraged along the way. Whether through his books or personal mentorship, his message remains clear and consistent: stay focused, stay positive, and never give up on the goals and dreams God has placed in your heart.
