Publisher's summary

This isn't some "Rah, Rah" bullshit book that's designed to make you feel good about having a f--ked up life. I wrote this book to show those of you out there that are in the struggle, what's possible if you work for it. Nothing in life is free.

Everything costs money or time. Allow me to save you both by listening to this book. Some of the stories you will hear in this book will be hard to believe, but they are true nonetheless. I've replayed many of these scenes and scripts in my mind 1,000 times, trying to figure out how in the hell things went down the way they did.

At age seven I was adopted by my step dad; at age eight I was put to work by my step dad; at age 17 I dropped out of school; at age 21 I was in prison; at 23 divorced; at 24 I filed for bankruptcy; at 27 I was in federal prison again; at 28 I was divorced a second time; and at 35 divorced a third time. And that's just the 50,000-foot view.

This book will explain it all and how it was all part of a plan from the universe to push me out of my comfort zone and into the hands of everyday winners like you. I wrote this book to show those who are oppressed with their past that it doesn't matter if you can develop skills. The timelines may not be exact, so just go with the flow and enjoy the story. It's about the big picture, not a timeline of when shit went down. Look at each chapter as its own individual story.

When it happened is not really as important as the fact that it did happen. Join me, as I share my journey and all of the ups and downs it took me on, with you. Oh, and for protection purposes, the names of people have been changed. Also, if you're a cop or government entity, this is all entirely fiction so chill.

Perfectly Titled..

Just like all of life, this book is a true paradox. A gritty, raw version of similar principles in one of my favorite books, “Way of the Peaceful Warrior”. Get out of your own way, persevere and focus on healthy paths to fulfill your dreams. Thank you Ryan.

Refreshing honestly

A nitty gritty rags to riches story showing how relentless drive and networking can work you to where you want to be even when the odds are stacked against you. Most have not lived a life like that but for those of us that have this book may just be the swift kick in the ass we need.

Wow. Just wow.

This is one of the most entertaining and enlightening books I’ve listened too. Met Ryan in New Orleans at a conference. He was unreal. Can’t recommend this enough

Great book! Wish it was longer!

First off, I became a fan of Ryan from his Rewire podcasts (highly recommend). He’s mentioned his life story on there, so I somewhat knew what to expect, but was still blown away by the actual specifics of his life story.

Someone with his criminal background, upbringing, and overall awful past has no business becoming a successful multi-millionaire, yet he is.

My biggest takeaway is this: Whatever excuse you have for not being successful, it’s bull. If Ryan can do it, anyone can. #FYE

Too much info!! 6️⃣🚮🔤5️⃣🛄🅿️6️⃣4️⃣

That book was insane. Was like a trip through breaking bad and good fellas with a little bit of frosting of success at the end. I have followed Ryan through his Facebook group and knew he had been in jail, but hearing everything in detail… Well, let’s say I had to take it in doses because I kept getting so amped up. Great book!

“Inspirational”

I’ve been listening to Ryan’s podcasts for a while now. His story reminds me a lot of what my Brother and I went through. We are both successfully sales Reps nowadays. Ryan’s advise has helped me in a lot of ways. If you get a chance go check out his podcasts on iTunes.

Motivational trainwreck!

Listening to how bad his life was and how his past haunted him, but motivated him is actually very motivating! I listened to this book as often as I could! I "couldn't put it down"!

You're life ain't $*&# compared to this

I've followed Ryan Stewman for quite some time. This book tells his story. His "rags to riches". I didn't know what I was expecting out of it but I learned that my childhood was peachy compared to his. Don't take this as a "victim" card book. This is a good kick in the pants book.
