The Power Of Broke by Daymond John Book Review

Daymond John Power Of Broke Book Review Frugal Business Startup Entrepreneur Shark Tank

As you can imagine from a guy with a website titled "Frugal Business", I'm a big fan of the rags to riches Shark Tank star and fashion mogul Daymond John. He started FUBU (For Us By Us) on the streets of Queens from the ground up by himself with almost no funds and turned it into a multi-billion dollar brand. He started selling clothes out of his car and now he owns more cars than you can imagine. He's currently a successful investor in dozens of businesses spanning a variety of industries. The Power Of Broke is a tribute to the success that can be achieved with enough hustle, creativity, resolve, resilience, and patience. Contrast his lean startup approach with tech titans Mark Cuban and (often to a lesser extent) Robert Herjavec.

The core principles of his success in founding and growing FUBU are always prevalent when working with entrepreneurs he's invested in. He won't be stingy with money for the sake of being stingy, but to the point where his entrepreneurs will have to learn and grow to solve the problem at hand. "Throwing money at problems never works" is a big theme with him. Not only will you potentially lose it, but you won't have to dig deep and solve the challenges in an efficient manner. The book consistently recounts his own entrepreneurial past, current business enterprises, entrepreneurs he's invested in (successes and failures), and the Shark Tank pitching / investment process. He chronicles the case studies of several rags-to-riches success stories like Steve Aoki (EDM DJ), Tim Ferriss Author of 4-Hour Work Week, GiGi Butler (a cupcake empire), and Mo Bridges (11 year old Shark Tank prodigy) to just name a few. He proves that there's nothing you can't do even with just a few dollars in your pocket and your back against the wall.

It's certainly a fantastic inspirational story for any entrepreneur, and you'll learn a great deal from the successes and failures he chronicles in his book. Believe me when I say that it will be money well spent. I admittedly don't buy many eBooks but I am glad I shelled out the money for this one. If you love The Power Of Broke you'll also love my new eBook for entrepreneurial inspiration, digital marketing strategy, and making an amazing online living on a shoestring budget.

I hope you enjoyed this review of Daymond John's latest book "The Power Of Broke". Now get out there and hustle on a shoestring budget!

5 Ways To Protect Your Company Trade Secrets

6 Amazing Techniques To Use Kindle For Business Purposes

A kindle is a fantastic device that is a must-have for any book lover. You can carry it wherever you go. If you are traveling at night and feel like reading something, you do not need a light anymore, just take out your Kindle and enjoy the ride. A Kindle is designed for consumers, no doubt, who love to read books. But one misconception is that a Kindle is only used for that purpose; reading. Yes, you can read on it as much as you want too and whatever you want to, but that is not all that a Kindle has to offer. There are also multiple features a kindle provides, that business and corporate users will find very useful. The original Kindle came out in November 2007 as a source where people can read e-books. In 2011, Amazon launched its own Android- based tablet computer to compete with Apple’s iPad. Many other Kindles have come out since then that provide a variety of features such as the ability to stream TV shows and films. Amazon won the tablet wars, and is it really a surprise thoug...
