Download Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain: How I Went from Gang Member to Multimillionaire Entrepreneur AudioBook Free
Ryan Blair is aware of creating a business from the ground up. Like many entrepreneurs he had no formal business education. But he had great survival intuition, tenacity, and, most importantly, a "nil to lose" frame of mind. Blair's middle-class youth came to an abrupt end when his abusive daddy succumbed to drug addiction and abandoned the family. Blair and his mom moved to an awful community, and soon he was in and out of juvenile detention, getting started with a gang merely to survive. Then his mom fell in love with a successful business owner who got Ryan under his wing. With his mentor's help, Blair changed himself into a wildly successful businessman. He started his first company, 24/7 Technical, at the age of 21, and since then has created and sold several companies for hundreds of millions of dollars. Now Blair instructs listeners how to start out and develop their own profitable businesses by pursuing his often contrarian philosophies. For example:
- In juvenile detention, In juvenile detention, if you let someone take your dairy the first day, they'll begin taking it every day. The same is true in business
- When you're coping with an investor's money, you have to act as if God himself had written you the check.
- Most business strategies aren't well worth the paper they're written on.
- Work don't pay the rent. Have no sympathy for employees who talk about how precisely hard they're trying.
