Daymond John has been practicing the power of broke ever since he started selling his home-sewn t-shirts on the streets of Queens. With no funding and a $40 budget, Daymond had to come up with out-of-the box ways to promote his products. Luckily, desperation breeds innovation, and so he hatched an idea for a creative campaign that eventually launched the FUBU brand into a $6 billion dollar global phenomenon.  But it might not have happened if he hadn’t started out broke - with nothing but a heart full of hope and a ferocious drive to succeed by any means possible.

Here, the FUBU founder and star of ABC’s Shark Tank shows that, far from being a liability, broke can actually be your greatest competitive advantage as an entrepreneur. Why?  Because starting a business from broke forces you to think more creatively.  It forces you to use your resources more efficiently. It forces you to connect with your customers more authentically, and market your ideas more imaginatively. It forces you to be true to yourself, stay laser focused on your goals, and come up with those innovative solutions required to make a meaningful mark. 

Drawing his own experiences as an entrepreneur and branding consultant, peeks behind-the scenes from the set of Shark Tank, and stories of dozens of other entrepreneurs who have hustled their way to wealth, John shows how we can all leverage the power of broke to phenomenal success. You’ll meet:

·         Steve Aoki, the electronic dance music (EDM) deejay who managed to parlay a series of $100 gigs into becoming a global superstar who has redefined the music industry
·         Gigi Butler, a cleaning lady from Nashville who built cupcake empire on the back of a family  recipe, her maxed out credit cards, and a heaping dose of faith
·         11-year old Shark Tank guest Mo Bridges who stitched together a winning clothing line with just his grandma’s sewing machine, a stash of loose fabric, and his unique sartorial flair

When your back is up against the wall, your bank account is empty, and creativity and passion are the only resources you can afford, success is your only option.  Here you’ll learn how to tap into that Power of Broke to scrape, hustle, and dream your way to the top.

This book was just not good, save your money. He basically used his celebrity/tv status to sell a book and make money and good for him because i was suckered into buying one. The reason it is not good is because every single chapter is a repeat. What i mean by that is that you can sum the entire book into less than one chapter. He wrote one chapter and pretty much duplicated it for about 15 chapters. This book could have been written on one page.

Here is the entire book for you in a nut shell: "You have to work really hard. You have to have that hunger that is inside of you and use the Power of Broke that drives you to make it. Like i did when i started FUBU i used the Power of Broke and you should be like me because im great."

Im really not over exaggerating when i say that is the entire book in a nutshell because each chapter is only about 3-4 pages long because there is nothing more to say. You can only write so much when you are repeating the same message hence the chapters only being 3-4 pages long each. He says for 15 chapters in a row "you just have to work hard and be like me when i started FUBU". He doesnt go into any real detail on working hard or how he even started FUBU either. He has different CEO's and entrepreneurs in the chapters he talks about but again there is no difference or any details and they are all only 3-4 pages long. For example and this was cracking me up when i read it, but he has a chapter with the CEO and Founder of Under Armour and here is the chapter for you: (and about as long too):

"Yeah when i started Under Armour i had to work hard, i started off selling a few shirts to friends and then a year later we were a $100 million company and then 8 years later we were a $1 billion company.
