From provocative recommendations for “rearranging your brain”—an essential prerequisite to accomplishing enormous goals—to practical advice for dealing with colleagues, Jacobs will have you rethinking what it means to win big. He explains why it’s critical to spot key trends and capitalize on them, including the biggest trend of all—the rapid evolution of technology relative to human development.

And, he shares his techniques for:

• Turning a healthy fear of failure to your advantage.

• Achieving lots of high-quality M&A without imploding.

• Building an outrageously talented team.

• Catalyzing electric meetings.

• Transforming a company into a superorganism that kills the competition.

Excellent and Insightful

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the background of Brad Jacob’s’ ventures, along with the deep thought processes Brad utilizes. It’s interesting and meaningful to experience each venture and what went into each. I especially enjoyed learning new ways to approach mindfulness and going ‘all in’ when setting and achieving goals. Excited for future published works from Brad!

Honest and useful to some extent

Well written and performed by Brad. I’m happy he took the time and energy to share his stories. M&As are definitely the easiest way to make billions. Still, many drastically fail so credit to him.

Still, I wear hoping to get more ground breaking ideas and knowledge out of this. Maybe because I’m seeing acquisitions on my current business so my expectations are high.

I plan to do business with this man, one day! Until then, it’s Space Coast Mobile Jiu Jitsu and GrapplApp.io all the way!!

meh

I'll go back just cuz he's a billionaire but unless you were a stockholder probably not the most captivating book. Time to go mining for hidden lessons. might update my rating later

It’s an unfair advantage building a business and having resources like this. From m&a, to people, to meetings. Brad shares it all. And it’s pure gold.
