Takeaways
Description
New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Broke and Shark on ABCs hit show Shark Tank explores how grit, persistence, and good old-fashioned hard work can help anyone achieve success. As a young man, Daymond John founded a clothing brand on a $40 budget by hand-sewing hats between his shifts at Red Lobster. Today, his brand FUBU has over $6 billion in sales. Convenient though it might be to believe that you can shortcut your way to the top, says John, the truth is that if you want to get and stay ahead, inspiration will only get you so far. You need to out-think, out-hustle, and out-perform everyone around you. And if the thought of doing all that sounds exhausting--well then, says John, you better get grinding!
