Man…F@#K! shares the honest and often unspoken reality of
entrepreneurship while serving up a large dose of much-needed hope and
inspiration to all business owners and entrepreneurs trying to take their
companies to the next level. Unlike most other books on business, this book
clearly defines the difficulties of life and the challenges of managing and
building a brand from virtually nothing into a potential global company. It
also accurately illustrates the struggles of working with a family business
and the expectations of starting in a small market and what it takes to
overcome those challenges and achieve personal and professional goals on a
larger scale.

It’s a fun, yet realistic story of what it takes to keep your head up in
times of trial – when all you can think is Man…F@#K! out of frustration –
in order to ultimately make your dreams a reality.

EXCERPT

 I love to read, though you might think I never have time! I think it’s important to get as many different perspectives on business as possible, especially from those who have had failures as well as success. If I have found the most consistent theme among men and women who have experienced success, it is that they have always had multiple failures along the way. This changes the mindset of “win or lose” to “win or learn.” A recent book I read entitled Good to Great sparked one of the newest cultural shifts in my company. I felt that this was exactly where we were, or actually, I would have ranked us as “really good,” but somehow, we still couldn’t cross the final hurdle to “great.” The challenge is tough for any team. If I were to rank us in terms of performance percentage, I would say we run at around ninety-six percent. If you were a student, you wouldn’t sneeze at that metric! But I believe we could achieve the goal of operating at one hundred percent of our capacity. Now remember, I’m not talking about being perfect, but being excellent. There is a tremendous difference. I have been driving a culture of personal/professional excellence by being remarkable every day. This doesn’t mean life won’t happen, remember the title of this book is Man…F@#k! It means that if you approach everything you do with the mindset of giving the best of your ability, you will be excellent and remarkable. Success breeds success and has a ripple effect throughout the whole company.

Excerpt

Title “Struggles of a family business” – “There was a new power struggle developing about who was in charge. Did my dad run the company, or did I? The problem in hindsight is that we never established a hierarchy in terms of responsibility. I was acting as the role of general manager, but my parents still owned the company. If I gave orders for the day’s business, but my father decided to do something different obviously the employees would do what he said. This created turmoil and a divide between us once again, prompting Angie and I to consider leaving the business and going elsewhere…Man F@#k! I loved my parents but couldn’t see a future that would allow us to work together anymore. The only logicial conclusion I could come up with was either he had to go, or I did. This was one of the most difficult times in my career, because how do you ask the founder of our company to leave, while still in his prime, and not hurt your relationship with your father? Here was my childhood hero, and now I was asking him to leave the very thing he had started…Man F@#k!”
