You're on a road trip with an old man and a younger one. Business stories are told. Wisdom is revealed. A new perspective emerges. Companies like Costco and Kodak, General Motors and Walmart provide color and texture as they appear on the horizon and in the rearview mirror. Real companies. Real decisions. Real outcomes. Jeff Bezos and Amazon give this road trip its rhythm as the four pillars of their success are made plain. It's a wonderful success, easily repeated, even by a lemonade stand. But only if you understand the importance of the marshmallow.

Dan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth.

Starting as a college dropout with no family money, he created a publishing empire, founded Maxim magazine, made himself one of the richest people in the UK, and had a blast in the process. How to Get Rich is different from any other book on the subject because Dennis isn't selling snake oil, investment tips, or motivational claptrap.

Story
There's no shortage of networking and entrepreneurship advice in books and on social media in today's world-but it's harder than ever to know what's authentic. To make matters worse, taking the wrong advice can result in superficial connections, transactional relationships, and unsatisfying interactions with others without any real rapport. Fortunately, as entrepreneur and marketer extraordinaire Joe Polish has discovered, there's a simple (though sometimes not easy) way out that begins with one question: "What's in it for them?"

I liked it so much, I bought 10 hard copies
Yesterday, I bought the Kindle and Audible version. Halfway throught listening to the book, I stopped and ordered 10 copies for family and friends. I head all of Roy H. Williams's books and I heard great deal about Brian Scudamore's 1-800-GOT-JUNK? success from many sources. I also had the pleasure of meeting several of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise owners. I always want to hear the success stories and the struggles the founders endure while making their vision a reality. This book delivers exactly that. However, don't let the size of this book fool you. While it is short and concise, there is a depth of knowledge and wisdom in every chapter that you can spend days unpacking. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I have and have the opportunity to put it into practice.
