CHOOSE YOURSELF! Be Happy, Make Millions, Live the Dream

A serial-entrepreneur and one-of-a-kind character uses his streetwise personality to narrate this captivating rise-from-the-ashes memoir/business book. With his steely vocal tone and colorful urban speech (complete with F-bombs), he ad-libs much of the book’s content, which makes him and his message sound totally authentic. Pithy stories chronicle how today’s markets—wildly unpredictable and more competitive than ever—require that we stop waiting for others’ goodwill and start acting with independence and boldness on the ideas that are important to us. Though his smart-aleck, don’t-trust-anyone vibe is never far from the surface, his message is seductive: Survive any failure and achieve your wildest dreams by being yourself and not worrying about other people’s opinions and reactions to what you’re doing.
