As a capo in the Colombo crime family, Michael Franzese operated businesses that generated millions of dollars each week. Then he left that life behind. After turning his life around and serving time, he now helps teach others how to run legitimate businesses.
I really didn't know what I was going to think about this book before I read it. I must say that it has a different perspective from any business book I have read. The principles Michael lays out are simple and sound, but the perspective he brings is compelling. I found the personal stories interesting and informative. While none of the ideas are ones I haven't heard before, the new perspective reinforced them in a different light. The book is well thought out and an interesting read. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. And I'm not just saying that because the author used to be a crime boss.
