Man…F@#K! shares the honest and often unspoken reality of
entrepreneurship while serving up a large dose of much-needed hope and
inspiration to all business owners and entrepreneurs trying to take their
companies to the next level. Unlike most other books on business, this book
clearly defines the difficulties of life and the challenges of managing and
building a brand from virtually nothing into a potential global company. It
also accurately illustrates the struggles of working with a family business
and the expectations of starting in a small market and what it takes to
overcome those challenges and achieve personal and professional goals on a
larger scale.
It’s a fun, yet realistic story of what it takes to keep your head up in
times of trial – when all you can think is Man…F@#K! out of frustration –
in order to ultimately make your dreams a reality.
Excerpt
Title “A love for business early on”
“I was so excited after our first year in business that for the next
school year, I was allowed to pick out my own attire from the JC Penny’s
catalog. I knew instantly that there would be no more jeans and T-shirts for
me; I chose the slacks and polo shirts, with matching belt to be sure. I was
going to be a business professional and certainly needed to look the part.
The only thing missing was a briefcase. I asked my parents if I could buy
one, but like most startup companies, money was tight, and the answer was
no. Even at a young age, however, it was evident that I thought outside the
box, and I noticed a backgammon game that nobody played with anymore. I
simple emptied the contents, and although it was a little small, I filled it
with a calculator, pens, paper and some business cards and… voila, a
briefcase! I know you’re probably thinking ‘What a nerd’; but I like to
think I was a pretty cool nerd!”
