Aprašymas

The New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain shares more hard-won life lessons and counterintuitive advice they don't teach you in business school.

Ryan Blair knows about learning lessons the hard way. In his first book, he chronicled his difficult childhood, his abusive and absentee father, and his rise from LA gang member to self-made multimillionaire entrepreneur. When he started out, he was willing to try everything, but now that he has so much to lose, he's realized how important it is to stick to the secrets that got him to the top. 

In MBA programs, you’re often shielded from the consequences of your bad ideas, but Blair discovered that failure isn’t applauded in the real world, so the only way to work is to get it right every time. They don't teach you that you have to start by winning people over one by one, but that's the skill that matters if you're building something out of nothing. And if Blair has work-life balance now, that's only because, as a self-funded entrepreneur without a bunch of investment banking allies, he put everything he had into his work from the start. For many of us, our hustle and grit is the only investment capital we have until the revenue starts flowing. 

Not every entrepreneur starts out with connections, capital, and a handful of management theories to try out. But as Ryan Blair knows from first-hand experience, it's sometimes an advantage to start out with everything on the line.
