Imagine you are a former mob boss who used to make money disappear. What would your best advice be for doing legit business with no consequences?
By age 24, charming mob boss Michael Franzese was one of the wealthiest people on*Fortune*magazine's survey. As one of the rare people who quit the mob and lived to tell about it, Franzese has a unique perspective on how business is done.
One thing he noticed is that inside the mob business, there are ways to make millions per week. If you apply these same principles outside of organized crime, then people will believe in your product or service more than ever before.
In I'll Make You an Offer You Can't Refuse, Franzese shares key mafia rules that are applicable to business today such as:
- Mob Rule # 4: Be an Early Riser and Avoid Getting Killed in Your Pajamas
- Mob Rule # 5: Ya Gotta Have a Crew
- Mob Rule # 7: Cook the Pasta, Not the Books
Franzesse uses an interesting dichotomy of Machiavelli, the patron saint of Organized Crime and King Solomon, the wisest king ever appointed by the Almighty, to highlight universal principles of business.
I'll Make You an Offer You Can't Refuse is essential reading for burgeoning entrepreneurs, business people and anyone interested in leadership.
