What can a one-time mob boss teach you about how to run a business?
I'll Make You an Offer You Can't Refuse, written by a former member of
the Colombo crime family, promises an insider's view of the mob that
will change the way you do business forever.
The first thing you'll learn? Get a plan, work it hard, be smart, and
surround yourself with people who know how to help you reach your
goals--people like Michael Franzese.
At the height of his involvement in the mafia, Franzese ran rackets that
earned him millions of dollars every week. After serving his time,
Franzese quit the mob and dedicated his life to making a positive impact
on the world by sharing what he's learned along the way. Now, he's a
consultant who has helped everyone from high-powered executives to small
business owners learn how to make the most out of their businesses--and,
more importantly, how to do it honestly.
As one of the few who quit the mob and lived to tell his story, Franzese
has a unique perspective on how the mafia does business. Packed with
hard-won experience, street smarts, and just a pinch of philosophy,
I'll Make You an Offer You Can't Refuse shares the professional advice
(and the life lessons) that Franzese learned firsthand, including:
- The importance of cutting to the chase
- The value of having a good crew
- How to start learning from your failures
- The danger of bending the rules
- How to come out ahead in your negotiations
- Why you should lead with your brain instead of your mouth
- How to think about real success
Business is business. Let your friend Franzese give you a tip or two
about how to run yours better.
