   Yet another book about a man who succeeded in business and writes how he did it. The author can be trustful as he actually succeeded before writing his book. As many before him, he reached a "point of no return", read hundreds of books, and committed himself to change. Therefore we can expect common ideas about his ingredients of success, such as taking responsibility, having the right mindset, and so on. Still, the author has his own style, and his own experience, which makes this book unique and i Yet another book about a man who succeeded in business and writes how he did it. The author can be trustful as he actually succeeded before writing his book. As many before him, he reached a "point of no return", read hundreds of books, and committed himself to change. Therefore we can expect common ideas about his ingredients of success, such as taking responsibility, having the right mindset, and so on. Still, the author has his own style, and his own experience, which makes this book unique and interesting for the psychology of success. In the beginning, he explains how he struggled in life, at school, in business, as an employee. It was really though, and he went through a lot. It's actually interesting and inspiring, as he makes some reflection along the way, like being in the flow without knowing it, spotting the bad manager traits as opposed to the good manager ones. And just like any "self-made man fairy tale", he met his mentor the moment he needed him the most. He learned from him and made billions of dollars ever after. It may seem "cliché", but this book is not, it has his own uniqueness and gives unique insights. Sometimes, all we need is just to hear the same message but from a different person, to finally "click".

   Honestly, with books like these, the star ratings are really about whether the methods and teachings within are meaningful and that the author has done a good job motivating you to try soemthing new. With this in mind, I think Bedros is successful. Time will tell how effective his teachings will be, but I've taken the time to work on some of the suggestions and they seem doable, reasonable and you can see how they would work. The books itself is not always the most entertaining or gripping read, Honestly, with books like these, the star ratings are really about whether the methods and teachings within are meaningful and that the author has done a good job motivating you to try soemthing new.

The books itself is not always the most entertaining or gripping read, but that's not necessarily the point. At first I was offended by his constant recounting of his "near death" panic attack, because I have have had several over the years and he was never near death, but I focused on the good bits and the pieces that I desperately needed to help turn myself around as a leader and move to the next level with my business.

   Bedros has a great life story starting with humble beginnings and an early career as a cook at Walt Disney world, but he knew he had much more within himself and even after failing in his first attempt at business he was able to rebound and build a successful fitness franchise. Now he is a respected CEO and mentor to many executives and business owners. Humble and hard working are his go to habits.

   I didn’t have high hopes for this book however after the first few minutes I learned it wasn’t what I expected. This book goes in depth on the lowest lows of entrepreneurship and mental health as well as the journey of climbing from that low, to the very top. Inspirational story of growth from a hard spot.

   This man has led quite the life. He started at the bottom. His family was so poor they siphoned gasoline to wash his hair to get rid of his lice. Now he's the owner/CEO of a huge multimillion dollar company. His advice is sharp and to the point. Highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to consider seriously improving their life and their business This man has led quite the life. He started at the bottom.

   Not a 5 in abstract terms but relevant to me at the time of reading and thought provoking as well

    Very motivating. The book opens your eyes about yourself, that your either not doing enough, or that whatever you are doing, you can do A LOT more! I loved it, will definitely read it again.

    Overall a great book, the only thing that hit it down from the 5-star rating was the borrowed fake stories from other authors. Once you lose a bit of trust in author, it's just not the same after that, no matter what they do or say. Great and valuable information nonetheless.
