I received this book as a member of Thomas Nelson’s BookSneeze Book Review program http://www.booksneeze.com Thank you
This book gives business tips with an interesting twist. It takes the usual success tips of traditional business & compares them with business in the mob. It’s Machiavelli vs Solomon. The ends justify the means & defeat your enemies at all costs is the mob way of life. He shows us with stories from his past how this thinking will eventually destroy people from within. He implores the reader to use Solomon’s solution of honesty, integrity & hard work to achieve real success in life.
Most of his tips are commonplace if you read any business success books, but the chapter on gambling was a first for me. I did not realize how much crime is committed inside businesses, from owners & employees, to repay gambling debts. Millions of dollars stolen & lives ruined because of this. Many businesses become partners with the mob if they can’t repay. His advice to be on the lookout for signs in your employees may save your business.
If you are looking for new insights, you will not find much here. But it is definitely a different outlook on them. It was very disheartening to read about the corruption of legal businesses & politicians by association with the mob or just thinking like the mob. I am proud of Michael Franzese for deciding to turn his life around & inspiring others to do the same.
