Amazon best seller and sixth book published by new ForbesBooks imprint! Founder of five-time Time Inc. 5000 honoree discusses his philosophy on business, entrepreneurship, marketing, and life!
No matter where your beginnings, you deserve to follow your dreams of a better life and create a legacy for future generations. Brandon Vallorani, accomplished entrepreneur and founder of Vallorani Estates, believes anyone can build upon humble beginnings and pursue the finer things in life. He recounts his own American Dream success story in his new book, The Wolves and the Mandolin: Celebrating Life's Privileges in a Harsh World.
The wolves and the mandolin story has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. A great-uncle was stuck in a tree surrounded by wolves. He played his mandolin to pass the time, and the beautiful music calmed the wolves and my great-uncle made it away safely, says Vallorani.
This tale reminds us that beauty can be found even in the midst of growling wolves and that even the fiercest wolves can be calmed. The Wolves and the Mandolin follows the Vallorani family's modest beginnings in Italy, shares legend-worthy stories of their first years in America, and culminates with Brandon's success as an entrepreneur.
Vallorani provides his philosophies in business and management, and the path taken to create a quality brand of hand-curated luxury products, Vallorani Estates. The Wolves and the Mandolin also reveals: Vallorani's five tips for selling any product online; Why it's important for entrepreneurs and executives to take the time to enjoy life's privileges; an entrepreneur's guide to dealing with administrative wolves without draining money, time and happiness; looking beyond: how to move on and up when you've hit a ceiling; how to learn to celebrate life's privileges in a world of harsh wolves.

Here, the FUBU founder and star of ABC's Shark Tank shows that, far from being a liability, broke can actually be your greatest competitive advantage as an entrepreneur. Why? Because starting a business from broke forces you to think more creatively. It forces you to use your resources more efficiently. It forces you to connect with your customers more authentically and market your ideas more imaginatively.

There's a myth in our culture that to get ahead in sales, we have to be sharks - greedy, manipulative, and only out for number one. As business owners and creatives who lead with heart, that fear of appearing "salesy" stresses us out and holds us back. We assume that spending money is painful and feel guilty to ask our clients for more. The truth is, today's trading-up clients are not only willing to spend big, but they secretly want to. And there are more of them in your market than you think.

When Mark Rampolla filled a notebook with potential start-up ideas, his wife asked him some tough questions. What about this idea is exciting, beyond the possibility of a profit? How will it fit into a life that makes you and your family happy? How will it change the world? Eventually Mark found his great idea: coconut water. He had seen the developing world use coconut water, but this valuable resource was being discarded in the US. While taking on the beverage industry was a big goal - high-hanging fruit - it was worth the risk.

In Fables of Fortune, author Richard Watts pulls back the brocade curtain to reveal the precarious path of wanting more. As an advisor to the super-rich, Watts reflects on the reality of wealth and a difficult and heartbreaking lesson: "The wealthiest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least." Through vignettes based on true stories, Fables of Fortune reveals the challenges the super-wealthy face, including marriages based on net worth, interfamily inheritance battles, faux friends, entitled children, alienation, and spiritual depletion.
