In this sweeping tell-all autobiography, Ryan Blair reveals how he went from hopeless teenage gang member to self-made multimillionaire entrepreneur facing no shortage of challenges in between, including poverty, single parenthood, and bankruptcy. By sharing his inspirational personal story, Blair demonstrates that people from all walks of life can overcome adversity and become true masters of their destiny. La verdadera historia para saber qué es necesario para ir desde el fondo al estrellato en cualquier campo. El término "estrella" ya no es exclusivo para alguien del mundo del espectáculo o del rock. Una estrella puede ser cualquiera que encarna las cualidades del éxito, y vive una vida que le permite ser dueño de su propio destino. Cualquiera, sea cual sea su ocupación, puede brillar a pesar de haber encontrado importantes dificultades a lo largo del camino. Ese es el principal mensaje que Ryan Blair pretende comunicar a través de narrar su propia historia personal. Ryan Blair ha luchado contra obstáculos extremos: la vida como ex miembro de una pandilla juvenil, equilibrar una carrera exigente siendo padre separado, construyendo y vendiendo varias compañías, y haciendo y perdiendo decenas de millones de dólares (a veces todo en un solo día). Ha tenido mucho éxito ... y muchos momentos difíciles. Desde el fondo al estrellato trata de cómo aprender a tomar esos momentos de dificultad, cuando estás golpeado, agotado, avergonzado, y acorralado, y utilizarlos para impulsarte hacia adelante. Gran parte de sus consejo son contra corriente, y definitivamente no los típicos que aprenderías en una escuela de negocios. No es necesario ser millonario para ser una estrella. No necesitas dejar tu trabajo. Puedes empezar dondequiera que estés, en cualquier industria o posición que hayas elegido. Pero tienes que empezar AHORA. Este libro te mostrará cómo.

Can you remember that one time you got recognized or someone thanked you for your contribution to their life? You were a rock star, even for just one second. This book isn''t about a charmed path to success or some untouchable fairy tale that nobody can relate to-this is about going from rock bottom to rock star, something that everybody can relate to. In his first book, Blair shared the brutally honest story of how he went from an at-risk youth, sleeping on a mattress on the floor of a shack, to a self-made multimillionaire by his early twenties. As his story became a national sensation, fans started asking him how they too could become entrepreneurs, take their careers to the next level, and achieve financial freedom. Rock Bottom to Rock Star answers those questions. Blair has battled extreme obstacles: life as a former gang member, balancing a demanding career with single parenthood, building and selling multiple companies, and making and losing tens of millions of dollars (sometimes all in one day). He wants to help others avoid the mistakes he made in the school of hard knocks, so he has compiled his unique advice for going from rock bottom to rock star in whatever field you chose to pursue. Much of his advice is counterintuitive, and definitely not what you would learn in business school. Here''s one example: "Don''t believe your own hype. The moment you start celebrating, you''ve left the stage. It wasn''t celebration that made you a rock star. It was hard work." If you''re serious about making the most of your life and you''re ready to become the "rock star next door" instead of just looking up to them, this may be the most rewarding book you''ll ever read.

"""Ryan Blair paham bagaimana caranya membangun sebuah bisnis dari nol. Seperti banyak pengusaha lainnya dia tidak memiliki pendidikan bisnis yang formal. Akan tetapi dia memiliki insting bertahan hidup yang sangat tinggi, ketekunan, dan, di atas segalanya, dia memiliki pola pikir """"nothing to lose."""" Kehidupan kelas menengah Blair saat masih belia berhenti saat ayahnya yang kasar menjadi pecandu narkotika dan meninggalkan keluarganya. Blair dan ibunya pindah ke sebuah lingkungan yang buruk, dan dengan cepat dia keluar-masuk Lapas Remaja, bergabung dengan suatu geng hanya untuk bertahan hidup. Kemudian ibunya jatuh cinta dengan seorang pengusaha sukses yang kemudian membimbing Ryan. Dengan bantuan dari mentornya inilah, Ryan mengubah dirinya menjadi seorang pengusaha yang luar biasa sukses. Dia membangun perusahaan pertamanya pada usia 21 tahun, dan sejak saat itu dia telah membangun dan menjual sejumlah perusahaan dengan nilai ratusan juta dolar. Dalam buku ini, Blair menunjukkan pada para pembaca cara memulai dan membangun bisnis yang menguntungkan dengan mengikuti filosofi-filosofinya yang sering kali bertolak belakang dengan filosofi lain. Sebagai contoh: - Di dalam Lapas Remaja, jika pada hari pertama Anda membiarkan seseorang mengambil susu Anda, orang itu akan mengambilnya setiap hari. Hal yang sama berlaku di dalam dunia bisnis. - Ketika Anda sedang berurusan dengan uang investor, Anda harus bersikap seolah-olah Tuhan sendiri yang telah menuliskan cek itu untuk Anda. - Kebanyakan rancangan bisnis hanya berharga seperti selembar kertas. - Upaya saja tidak akan cukup untuk membiayai hidup Anda. Jangan bersimpati terhadap karyawan yang menceritakan kepada Anda betapa kerasnya mereka bekerja untuk Anda. - Kewirausahaan sangat menyenangkan, karena Anda dapat mengatur jam kerja Anda sendiri - Anda dapat memilih 17 jam mana pun dalam satu hari, tujuh hari dalam seminggu. Tetapi jika Anda sedang mengerjakan sesuatu yang Anda cintai, pekerjaan itu tidak akan melelahkan Anda seperti lingkaran kematian jam kerja yang dimulai dari jam 9 pagi sampai jam 5 sore. Buku ini merupakan panduan inspirasional bagi mereka yang bersedia bekerja keras, meluangkan waktu, dan mendedikasikan diri mereka untuk meraih cita-cita mereka. Blair membagikan pelajaran-pelajaran yang ia terima dari mentornya, nasihat-nasihat dari pengalamannya sendiri yang mengubah hidupnya, dan menyediakan sebuah peta untuk mencapai kesuksesan dalam dunia kewirausahaan."""

He has since created and sold several companies for hundreds of millions of dollars. This is an inspirational guide full of powerful stories and lessons and a road map for entrepreneurial success.
