Publisher's summary

As an associate of the Gambino family, Ferrante relied on his instincts to pull off some of the biggest heists in US history. By the age of 21, he had netted millions of dollars for his employers. His natural talent for management led Mafia bosses to rely on him.

After being arrested and serving an eight-and-a-half-year prison sentence, Ferrante went straight. He realized that the Mob's most valuable business lessons would allow him to survive and thrive in the real world. Now he offers 88 time-tested Mafia strategies, including:

  • Go get your own coffee!: Respecting the chain of command without being a sucker.
  • The walls have ears: Never bad-mouth the boss.
  • Is this phone tapped?: Watch what you say every day.
  • How to bury the hatchet-but not in someone's head.

Ferrante brings his real-life experiences to the book, offering fascinating advice that really works and sharing behind-the-scenes episodes almost as outrageous as those occurring on Wall Street every day.

Business Without Order Is A Business Doomed To Fail

Loved how the similarities with history and the structure of how in order to have a successful and sustainable business there has to be a outline and chain of command that has to be followed to see the best results

Balanced, actionable lessons

I couldn’t put this down. It’s a level-headed approach to business and life lessons which is refreshing amongst the barrage of aggressive and cut-throat business and success advice in publishings and social media today. Each lesson reaches into recent mafia history and/or ancient history but is relevant to the everyday person.
