Publisher's summary

After years of fruitful business growth and two acquisitions, Tab found that a few poor business decisions would have colossal outcomes that threatened his once-strong business. In despair and disbelief, he plummeted into depression. Vulnerability, doubt, and fear ruled his life. While discussing the business failures with colleagues most gave the same advice: Shut your doors and walk away. He had allowed his company to fall into peril. Closing the doors was not an option. Over the next three plus years he had one goal: take his wrecked business and personal failures and make them both successful again.

In this book, you will learn the depths of commitment you need, the perseverance and focus you must have, and the resolve for getting your life and business back on track. This book will help you rebuild confidence, provide you with strength and direction, and help you learn that you can overcome most things that are put in front of you. Out of necessity, you will learn just how far you can push yourself, and others, to get what you need to succeed. Listen to hear the follies, learn from perseverance, and mostly to hear what you need to do to make get your business and life back on track.

Tab’s hope is that the message you take away is that you can be strong and powerful in your adversity. That if he’s able to overcome, anyone can. His hope for you is that like him, you’ll embrace being a healthy narcissist and look for ways to build yourself and others.

Inspirational story with actionable business tips

This is a well-written book and it resonated with me as Tab Pierce shared details of how he almost lost his company and declared bankruptcy. I can relate to the emotional pain he describes in the book as I lost my own company to failure almost a decade ago. I have a lot of respect for the way he was relentless in not giving up, and fighting his way back to success - truly inspirational. I applaud him for opening up in this book and sharing specifics of the mistakes he made and owning up to things he did a poor job at. This level of transparency is refreshing, and is not displayed too often in business books. His writing style definitely connected with me. But what made the book for me was at the end of each chapter, he puts actionable tips to help improve your business. I like books written like this as it implies, don’t just learn, but what is more important is to take action to make improvements in your business and life.

This book is a beacon of light for all entrepreneurs who are in a financial jam.

I really enjoyed listening to this audio book. It’s loaded with a ton of gems, one of which I intend to incorporate into my life immediately. Tabs calls it the “Opportunity pipeline”.

The author really lays it all on the line and makes it really easy for the listener to feel a connection. This book is a must read/listen to all entrepreneurs.
