New Release Books by Daymond John

The bestselling author and star of ABC’s Shark Tank reveals how to master the three prongs of influence: reputation, negotiation, and relationships. Have you ever wanted to make a big change in your life but weren’t sure where to start? In Powershift, Daymond John shares the answer. To take control of your destiny and drive the change you want to see, you need to lay the groundwork so you’re prepared to seize every opportunity that comes your way. And that means mastering • Influence—make an impression: Develop a reputation that highlights what you stand for. • Negotiation—make a deal: Hone a win-win negotiating style. • Relationships—make a connection last: Nurture those connections you make along the way. Through never-before-told stories from his life and career, Daymond shares the lessons that got him to where he is today: from how he remade his public image as he transitioned from clothing mogul to television personality, to how he mastered the negotiation strategies that determine whether deals are won or lost “in the tank,” to his secrets for building long-lasting—and profitable—relationships with founders and brands. Throughout the book, some of the world’s most successful personalities reveal how they shifted their power in meaningful ways: Kris Jenner on determining your value: “You don’t have to go ask somebody else for permission. You have the power to be able to stick to your guns and demand your worth.” Mark Cuban on finding and understanding your why: “Time is the one asset we don’t own, we can’t buy, and we can never get back.” Pitbull on tapping into your inner power: “A lot of people feel that to be powerful is to exude strength. I think it’s the total opposite. To be powerful is to be powerless. It’s when you give everybody what you got.” Whether you’re an innovator working to turn your big idea into a reality, a professional looking to land a major promotion, or a busy parent trying to find more time to focus on what’s really important to you, Daymond shows you how to shift your power and energy towards positive change.

You need to out-think, out-hustle, and out-perform everyone around you. You''ve got to rise and grind every day. In the anticipated follow-up to the bestselling The Power of Broke, Daymond takes an up close look at the hard-charging routines and winning secrets of individuals who have risen to the challenges in their lives and grinded their way to the very tops of their fields. Along the way, he also reveals how grit and persistence both helped him overcome the obstacles he has faced in life and ultimately fueled his success.

The instant New York Times bestseller from Shark Tank star and Fubu Founder Daymond John on why starting a business on a limited budget can be an entrepreneur''s greatest competitive advantage. Daymond John has been practicing the power of broke ever since he started selling his home-sewn t-shirts on the streets of Queens. With a $40 budget, Daymond had to strategize out-of-the-box ways to promote his products. Luckily, desperation breeds innovation, and so he hatched an idea for a creative campaign that eventually launched the FUBU brand into a $6 billion dollar global phenomenon. But it might not have happened if he hadn’t started out broke - with nothing but hope and a ferocious drive to succeed by any means possible. 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. It forces you to be true to yourself, stay laser focused on your goals, and come up with those innovative solutions required to make a meaningful mark. Drawing his own experiences as an entrepreneur and branding consultant, peeks behind-the scenes from the set of Shark Tank, and stories of dozens of other entrepreneurs who have hustled their way to wealth, John shows how we can all leverage the power of broke to phenomenal success. You’ll meet: · Steve Aoki, the electronic dance music (EDM) deejay who managed to parlay a series of $100 gigs into becoming a global superstar who has redefined the music industry · Gigi Butler, a cleaning lady from Nashville who built cupcake empire on the back of a family recipe, her maxed out credit cards, and a heaping dose of faith · 11-year old Shark Tank guest Mo Bridges who stitched together a winning clothing line with just his grandma’s sewing machine, a stash of loose fabric, and his unique sartorial flair When your back is up against the wall, your bank account is empty, and creativity and passion are the only resources you can afford, success is your only option. Here you’ll learn how to tap into that Power of Broke to scrape, hustle, and dream your way to the top.

On September 11, 2001, Jennifer Sinclair, a young Texan living in London, saw her homeland attacked: the World Trade centers, the Pentagon, and a plane which crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. It was difficult to be an American in a foreign country, even an ally of America''s, following the events of September 11. Now married to a New Scotland Yard senior detective, Jenny never expected the climate of terrorism from the United States to sweep across the Atlantic and bring an undercurrent of fear to the United Kingdom. Jenny now lives in the idyllic northwest London suburb of Hampstead, but she feels the uneasiness that all Americans abroad do. When it takes only one crazed individual to commit unreasoning violence, no one can consider himself or herself completely safe. The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police assigns extra officers to patrol possible target areas in what he calls, Operation Calm, but Jenny is not reassured. Then a cargo ship in the English Channel, reported to be carrying terrorist material, is boarded by anti-terror police. Although the New Scotland Yard spokesman insists that there is no danger to the public, she isn''t relieved. Not long afterward, Richard Reid, who was born and raised in Britain, tries to destroy an American Airlines plane in flight with a bomb in his shoe. Each incident seems to be happening closer and closer to home. Her husband, Detective Chief Inspector Colin Sinclair, recalls the days of IRA terrorism and assures her that police officers in the UK have a good deal of experience fighting terrorists. IRA terrorists, however, generally did not choose to die with their targets, and this new breed of evildoers seems to be willing to stop at nothing. Still, Jenny never expected the clouds of violence to strike close to home and threaten her loved ones. Then early in 2002, a terrorist attack occurs in London and devastates her. Reeling from the trauma of sudden grief, Jenny''s world is turned upside down, and she must find the strength to adjust to a life she would not have chosen, separated from family and in a country not her own. Supported by an ex-Royal Army chaplain, counseled by a psychiatrist, and guided by Metropolitan Police officers who have become friends, Jenny struggles to make a new life for herself. Then a new danger appears, on the quaint streets of her Hampstead home, a danger she will have to face alone. Thus The Mission continues the story of Houston-born Jenny -- who traveled to London in the previous novel, The Witness -- and the Metropolitan Police Service detectives and witness protection officers who kept her safe following her brutal attack by a serial killer. She faced a long recovery from her physical injuries and an even longer one from the trauma of violence. Testifying against her attacker in spite of her fear strengthened her, and gradually she moved from being a victim to being a survivor. The final step, however, involved leaving her trauma behind to become a victor, someone free to embrace hope and love.
