The kind of book ones needs to read ever once in a while to remind yourself of the things that matter. It's nice to see a young man of coulour contributing to an industry seemingly dominated by older while men. I felt a little less alone after reading this short book

A very short, but loaded with information book. I was initially reading Jon Taffers book, which lead me to this one. I thought it was very well written and had flow. Finished it in one sitting, and found it to be an emotional finish for me.

It will help you make little changes now for big changes later.

I purchased this book from a black owned subscription box called Ujaama. I saw the picture of the box's content on my Instagram, and this book was featured with the rest of the country tents within. Almost immediately I wanted the box and ordered it, once I got the book I couldn't put it down. Frasier gives the reader tips and life lessons that are so invaluable, I couldn't help but to share it with anyone and everyone near me. This is the kind of book that literally inspires, and it definitely inspired me to do even more than I plan to do.

Anthony shows us his history on how he came to be the success story he is today. He had a rough upbringing, and used his story and his experiences to show other entrepreneurs that they could be successful. No excuses!
