Publisher's summary

The inspirational story of Compass CEO Robert Reffkin, whose mother, mentors, and search for belonging taught him valuable lessons that anyone with a dream can put into action today to improve their own quality of life

No one expected a dreadlocked fifteen-year-old who cared more about his DJ business than his homework to grow up to become one of the youngest-ever White House fellows, create multiple nonprofits, and found a multibillion-dollar company. But Robert Reffkin — raised by an Israeli immigrant single mother, disowned by his maternal grandparents for being Black, and abandoned by his father — has always defied the odds.

Compass’s mission is to help everyone find their place in the world, and in these pages, Reffkin distills the wisdom he’s gathered along his journey. Each chapter offers a part of his life story and a practical lesson, such as:

• Love your customers more than your ideas
• Find someone to give you the critical feedback others won’t
• Create your own “rich-kid’s network”

The advice in No One Succeeds Alone will inspire you to dream bigger than you ever have before, realize your full potential, and give back by helping make someone else’s dreams come true, too. All author proceeds from No One Succeeds Alone are being donated to nonprofits that help young people realize their dreams.

So easy to follow this book messages

I really enjoyed the pace and tone of the author and reader. Wonderful book. Thanks

Great perspectives

My mom recommended this book and I’m so glad I listed to it. Robert offers wonderful perspectives on his life, other people, and the work that everyone can benefit from.

Very inspiring

Like the story and how inspirational it is. Good delivery. I am a compass employee so learning the vision of Robert through this book was exciting to say the least.

This story is endlessly relatable!

No One Succeeds Alone has many facets to it that I found relatable to my life, even as Rob and I have had very different paths to get to where we are today.
His advice and Compass Principles of Entrepreneurship are ones that many people can learn from and apply to their lives.

Obsessed over opportunity!

This has been an inspiring read for me, the ability to overcome obstacles and always striving to be the best are great advice to live by. I myself had been told about all my life that I would fail because I struggled with things that did not inspire me! All ever want was a chance to sit at the same table as my peers! Thanks for a great read. Keep on dreaming big!

Passion, drive and perseverance pays offf

This book is an incredible journey of courage and triumph in the face of many adversities.I would encourage anybody who wants a great model to follow as an example to take this book in and drink it!

Let’s Go!!

What I liked most about this book is the candor, intimacy, vulnerability and class in which the writer tells of his journey.
I feel inspired, motivated, empowered, and I feel like this boom gives me grace to navigate who I am while figuring out how to best use my gifts, talents, and interests.
I have already begun recommending this book to friends and colleagues.

So Inspiring!

I just loved this story. I think this should be required reading for kids starting Junior High. I recently started with Compass and wanted to know more about the Owner. I feel so connected to his vision. Great read.

Inspiration and Motivation

I thoroughly enjoyed this audible read. Hearing it from the author's voice gave it authenticity

Opportunities are everywhere.

Some great advice and knowledge in this book that I’ve never had from anyone else. I was gifted the book but have a hard time reading books due to my dyslexia so purchased this and flew through the audiobook. Robert has some great advice and is great to hear his inspiring story. Needed to hear this book right now with the current state of things.
I can’t recommend it enough.
Thank you for sharing your story Robert!
