Rock Bottom to Rock Star: Lessons from the Business School of Hard Knocks

Description

Can you remember that one time you got recognized or someone thanked you for
your contribution to their life? You were a rock star, even for just one
second. This book isn’t about a charmed path to success or some untouchable
fairy tale that nobody can relate to-this is about going from rock bottom to
rock star, something that everybody can relate to. In his first book, Blair
shared the brutally honest story of how he went from an at-risk youth,
sleeping on a mattress on the floor of a shack, to a self-made
multimillionaire by his early twenties. As his story became a national
sensation, fans started asking him how they too could become entrepreneurs,
take their careers to the next level, and achieve financial freedom. Rock
Bottom to Rock Star answers those questions. Blair has battled extreme
obstacles: life as a former gang member, balancing a demanding career with
single parenthood, building and selling multiple companies, and making and
losing tens of millions of dollars (sometimes all in one day). He wants to
help others avoid the mistakes he made in the school of hard knocks, so he has
compiled his unique advice for going from rock bottom to rock star in whatever
field you chose to pursue. Much of his advice is counterintuitive, and
definitely not what you would learn in business school. Here’s one example:
“Don’t believe your own hype. The moment you start celebrating, you’ve left
the stage. It wasn’t celebration that made you a rock star. It was hard work.”
If you’re serious about making the most of your life and you’re ready to
become the “rock star next door” instead of just looking up to them, this may
be the most rewarding book you’ll ever read. Read more
