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 Pages and Chapter: pages 150-151 Chapter: Going from
“Really Good” to “Great”
Excerpt: I love to read, though you might think I never have
time! I think it’s important to get as many different perspectives on business
as possible, especially from those who have had failures as well as success. If
I have found the most consistent theme among men
and women who have experienced success, it is that they have always had
multiple failures along the way. This changes the mindset
of “win or lose” to “win or learn.” A recent book I read entitled Good to Great
sparked one of the newest cultural shifts in my company. I felt that this was
exactly where we were, or actually, I would have ranked us as “really good,”
but somehow, we still couldn’t cross the final hurdle to “great.” The challenge
is tough for any team. If I were to rank us in terms of performance percentage,
I would say we run at around ninety-six percent. If you were a student, you
wouldn’t sneeze at that metric! But I believe we could achieve the goal of
operating at one hundred percent of our capacity. Now remember, I’m not talking
about being perfect, but being excellent. There is a tremendous difference. I
have been driving a culture of personal/professional excellence by being
remarkable every day. This doesn’t mean life won’t happen, remember the title
of this book is Man...F@#k! It means that if you approach everything you do
with the mindset of giving the best of your ability, you will be excellent and
remarkable. Success breeds success and has a ripple effect throughout the whole
company.
