Today I turn 36!
I know I shouldn’t ask for birthday gifts, but heck, I couldn’t resist.
There are 2 things you can do to make this day a great one.
FIRST THING…
Will you share one specific thing that either my blog, my book, my talk, or my personal interaction with you has helped in some kind of way?
Maybe it was you getting better grades, or passing a school test. Maybe you were motivated to achieve more, and go after your life goals. Maybe you read something or heard me say something that really influenced your life. Whatever the case, go ahead and share what that is. Just leave me a kind comment on this post.
The more specific, the better. Share a story. Share specific, concrete details. Tell me what it meant to you. This will be the best birthday gift ever.
SECOND THING…
I’ve been honored to help close to 500,000 students succeed in school and in life… and I’m hungry to help more. I’m personally cranking up my mojo to increase student retention, help schools reach their test score goals, and help students win inside and outside the clasroom. Even though its my birthday, I’m giving YOU or a dear student you know a SPECIAL BIRTHDAY GIFT – my best selling Academic Success E-book FREE.
All you have to do is enter info below and tell me where to send your gift. It’s just that simple.
If you do these 2 things today my 36th birthday will be so awesome.
Truly the best friend a guy could have for the past 9 years. Thanks for always providing Biblical guidance when I need it and thanks for being the best uncle my kids could ask for. Have a Happy Birthday man!!!
Man, we both have had some great and hard moments… from the days at the Westin till today you have really showed me what FRIEND means. Thanks for not kicking me to the curb.
Happy Birthday Kantis…thank you so much for sharing your inspiration with a complete stranger…it got me through a very rough time….God Bless You!
Hey Kathy, we all have rough times, but its when we keep our feet moving that we eventually find the successful path. Thanks for the Bday love!
Hey Kantis,
happy birthday! Your ability to teach, relate, and entertain students is a real inspiration to me. You are the real deal my man. I wish you the best year ever!
You know you are my real official “Vanilla” brother!!! I’m so grateful our lives clashed when they did. The best has just begun! (ps: i’m running to the mailbox now)
Happy Birthday Kantis, enjoy it
. Before I ordered your products, I knew that I wanted to change some of my habits that weren’t helping me to success in college. After I received your products like the study CD and Playing your A game, I knew that I was making steps in the right direction in acheiveing my goals. Thank you Kantis for all that you’ve done and continue to do.
That is so good Keyonna! Keep me informed, and thank you for supporting me. We still are working on getting up there!
Kantis – Words can’t describe how much you have helped me step out and soar into my dreams. All of your tips, tricks and pointers are the keys for my success, though it’s only the beginning. I could only pray that more people are just as blessed as I have been to know you or to come in contact with your material.
Much love & Happy Birthday!
TPrissy
WOW!!! Thanks. I’m so excited about where you are going, and know in the end I will be sitting somewhere scratching my head – “Dang, I remember when…” (Tprissy for life, or until the wheels fall off. And even then we will find a way to put new wheels on).
Hey Kantis! Happy Birthday. Your materials have really helped to inspire me to do better in school and change my study habits. Thanks!
Happy Birthday Sir! Your motivation is infectious!
Thank you Carla. I’m glad i’m int he same category as a “disease”! Great thing you didn’t say virus! Just kidding, LOL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KANTIS!!!! You’ve been such and inspiration to me that I could have accomplished what I have without you. I pray that as you continue to impact the lives of students around the world that they will pass it on to others. Your hard word and determination is infectious and it motivates me all the time. Again Happy Birthday!
Thanks 21 Day Lady. Im so proud you took action, and I’m so elated that you allowed me to work with you to impact the lives of so many women. We still have work to do, and I look forward to our next chapter together.
So when can I expect the next book to be out?
Kantis! You have been such a blessing and inspiration to me that words can’t describe as I work to complete my doctorate and manage life in the process. Your words of wisdom…priceless! I can’t wait for you to connect with my nephew! I KNOW just based on what I’ve seen you do for other students, that he will be the best prepared student in his graduating class after he uses your tips and resources. Hope you have a great birthdy and many more happy years ahead of you!

thank you for supporting me and following me kalu.
Kantis Simmons book “Playing you’re a game” was the first book I’ve ever read in one sitting. And not to mention the first book I’ve ever read more than once. I’ve read “improve your grades” types of books since high school and none were really believable or relatable. Kantis you are the real deal man, real Christian, real teacher, and truly inspiring. I thank God for you man, Enjoy your Birthday Big Homey!
Will those were some powerful words, and it’s really great to hear how you used the book in your life and the results you gained. Thanks for such humbling words!
Happy Birthday Big Brother,
You have been the BEST brother any sister could ask for. I have always looked up to you from edcuation, band, sports and church. I know at times I was hard headed but you have given me exceptional advice that has been a major impact in my life. Your readings has encouraged me as well. Because of your great words, you have been that extra push to help me continue on to achieving my Doctoral Degree. I have approx. 2 years left to go before Dr. Simmons and I currently have a 3.6 GPA. Thank you again, you are changing so many students lives. Continue to follow your destiny in your life and many more doors will open. I love you Big Brother. Happy 36th B-Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Thanks lil Sis. Im so proud of you, and glad I can claim you as my real sister. Thank you for all your encouragement.
Happy Birthday Mr. Kantis! Thank you for your inspiring and motivating words. I have not yet started college yet but I will most definitely refer back to your advice to help me out. I pray that today will be a extraordinary blessed day for you. I thank God for your life and the opportunity to have met you.
Hi Kantis,
So you just completed your third cycle! Congratulations and may the next twelve years bring you lots of wealth, peace, and students. Have the happiest birthday ever. You are just a few months behind Nora but both of you were born in the Year of the Tiger. According to your sign, you are the BOSS and the MASTER of your destiny. Thank you for the inspiration. Every time I read your note, I feel uplifted and have confidence that my brain is energized. Please continue to help improve literacy in our society.
With best wishes,
Tavorn Strassburger
Kantis has had a major impact on my life. My freshman year in college, Kantis was in charge of a Bible study in my dorm that I attended. A lot of people weren’t really focused on the things of Christ, but I looked forward to those studies. Kantis was very engaging and the room was always packed. I’ve looked up to Kantis since I’ve known him, and I am proud of everything that he is doing now.
Happy Birthday Kantis
What can I say about you Kantis? You have motivated me in so many ways in my early college years. I think the most important and life changing events we’ve shared was a late night talk about the holy spirit. I was a freshmen and I had just became a christian and you talk to me about the holy spirit and you allowed me to hold a book by your pastor Dr.C. Dollar called ” The Anointing” it changed my christian walk forever. All the talks about God & Faith just being my big brother at time. I am so Godly proud of you and just seeing you accomplishing such great thing motivates me even now to do go after my dreams even the more. Knowing that those dreams are not just for me but for the generations to come that I may leave a legacy for them and future educators. Happy Birthday KAN KAN!!
Kantis is the real deal.
It never ceases to amaze me how easy he makes it for people to achieve the success and reputation they deserve. He doesn’t practic what he preaches, he preaches what he practices.
He is THE go-to authority on how to achieve on levels you never thought possible.
Hi Kantis,
First, allow me to wish you a very “Happy 36th Birthday!”
I am a friend of the family, kinda sorta family (and I know that’s not proper grammar)…lol, but it’s appropriate for the time being only because I have a point to make. Your cousin Vernell Griggs is also my cousin. I was at your parent’s 40th wedding anniverary celebration, the one who took the pictures. I hope you remember me now.
Anyway, the way in which you’ve motivated me is simply by being a product of your environment! You have wonderful parents, thus having a great upbringing & you are living proof that through God all things are possible. I’ve checked out some of your accomplishments as I’ve heard about your parent’s as well & it warms my heart to see you walk the same Christian walk as them. I can truly say that I’m touched by that! I hope that my words, actions, & life will be a motivating source to my son and/or my children to come as well as anyone that I’ve come in contact with or to come in contact with in the future. God bless you Kantis, keep doing what you’re doing!!
Kantis is simply awesome hands down! His expandatory mind (i made that word up) motivates people to not only improve themselves but makes them want to go tell others how to do so. He definitely challenges me every-time i speak to him to think bigger than the box that is my thoughts. He takes tree seed and thinks rain forest. He’s the engineer behind my website livemilliyonic.com and the motivator behind my outside the box thinking.
Happy Birthday Kantis…Thank you for sharing your knowledge and words of wisdom. You have truly been an inspiration in my life. Keep motivating people to reach their full potential and success!
Happy Birthday Kantis! You are so totally cool.
Happy Birthday Kantis! You are such an incredible source of creativity and information. I appreciate the vision you have and the wisdom you are imparting to others. I love the encouragement and practical steps you provide in your material. Your material is timeless for the young school aged as well as collegians. I hope you enjoy many many more. You are definitely an inspiration to me to help others of course in another lane. I especially love the excellence that lies evident in your work. The bar has been set and I personally thank you.
Happy Birthday Kantis!
I am inspired by the way you teach young people on how to play their A game. You made an intimidating subject for teens, sipmle. Your a phenominal, motivating, creative speaker. On behalf of teens you have reached THANK YOU!
Happy Birthday big brother in law! I was inspired 2 years ago when you displayed great emotion of love and care for your brother during our dedication of MSI. I thought it takes a real man to let his feelings show towards those he loves. You Kantis are a real man…Thanks for the support over the last 4 years. On the speaker side: your gift is great, my students periodically still ask about the 7.25 guy. You made an impact on them. I love you brother in law thanks for being unique, creative and a man of God. Now it’s time for the 7.25 team cuz you must duplicate yourself, more students need what you got and need to teach others….
happy bday!! let’s see, where do i begin…besides being a really great friend for the past 10 years or so….you’ve always pushed me…personally and academically and now in business….you’ve been an inspiration to me…challenging in a wonderful way….u make me think out the box and that has brought me “A” grades and a soon to come amazing development program. thx for being YOU!!
Happy Birthday!
You have been an awesome blessing to me and the youth/young adults that I am leading. You are insightful and dynamic with a heart for God’s people. I appreciate your willingness to serve your community and provide knowledge for people of all levels. I pray that you are blessed significantly! Personally, hearing you speak allowed me to have a paradigm shift and now I am making the necessary steps to ensure that I graduate from grad school debt free with honors!
Just cant find the adjective to qualify my expression towards your impact on my life. My prayer is that the grace of God upon your life will continue to speak for you. I LOVE YOU SIR. I appreciate the womb that gave birth to you! YOU ARE A GREAT PLUS TO OUR GENERATION. MORE GRACE!!!
