I've seen the author online and loved his content. This wasn't any different. For a world that makes the haves and have-nots acres and leagues apart, this book does a lot to bridge the gap between the two. I liked his personal perspective as a college student who took on a lot after leaving and became knowledgable over time. It pulls back the curtain in a way I appreciate. 4.5!

How I Read It:📱
Synopsis
You have a dream job on Wall Street, one people would die for. You’re a millionaire, living in a high rise on Park Avenue in NYC, but one day, you decide you want to quit. You know this is the end of your career on Wall Street, there’s no going back. So you quit, and you lose EVERYTHING. You have no money and a busted dream, but you want to be rich, really rich, and you don’t want to depend on others to make that happen.
My Thoughts
Nicholas Crown’s story is inspiring. He went from everything to nothing in about a year. But he had determination and was able to pick himself back up and achieve the wealth he craved and desired. This book outlines behaviors that are necessary to become really rich. It also gives you scenarios/examples of how the rich think and how the really rich think. Exercises are included to help you brainstorm business ideas based on your childhood and passions. He focuses on iteration, markets, where you can offer value, and creativity. There were a lot of scenarios that had me thinking and made me realize I need to change the way I look at what’s happening in my business. It’s pretty eye opening at points, and there are so many examples, it really gets your mind working on overdrive, and you leave this book with hope for your business (or future business)!
