Description

The incredible story of a gang member who became a multimillionaire CEO.

Ryan Blair's middle-class upbringing came to an abrupt end when his father succumbed to drug addiction and abandoned his family. Blair and his mother moved to a dangerous neighborhood, and soon he was in and out of juvenile detention, joining a gang just to survive. Then his mother fell in love with a successful entrepreneur who took Ryan under his wing. With his mentor's help, Blair turned himself into a wildly successful multimillionaire, starting and selling three companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

This book will inspire and guide people who are willing to do whatever necessary-hard work, long hours, sweat equity-to take their vision from paper to pavement. Blair gives readers a road map for successful entrepreneurship.

    If you are an entrepreneur and are looking for a road map, look no further. This is it. I like how the author breaks down every step in an easy to read conversational manner. Almost all the chapters kept me interested. Only negative feedback is the over mention of his current venture through out the book. I understand promotion and he has earned the right to be proud but it was a bit much. Overall great read.

    This book is both encouraging and practical. Having had my life utterly fall apart twice, I can relate to the "Nothing to Lose" mentality; strength is in rebounding from those testing times. Ryan gives solid advice to any budding entrepreneur in this well written insightful piece. Definitely worth the read.
