Book Review: Reallionaire, by Farrah Gray
Like me, you may have first seen Farrah Gray being interviewed on the television show 20/20 last week. He is an ambitious, determined, and successful young businessman (he’s just 21 years old!) I found his story and personality inspiring, and within minutes of the broadcast I had logged onto Amazon.com and ordered his book “Reallionaire.”
The book arrived Friday and I’m already half way through it. It is an inspiring tale of his determination and efforts to become a successful entrepreneur. The story is structured around the 9 steps he believes are essential for becoming a success:
- Understand the Power of a Name
- Never Fear Rejection
- Build an All-Star Mentoring Team
- Seize Every Opportunity
- Go with the Flow… But Know Where You Want to Go
- Be Emotionally Prepared to handle Failure
- Dedicate Your Time to What You Know
- Love Your Customer
- Never Underestimate the Power of a Network
Each chapter ends with a simple set of exercises designed to help you focus your own life and work around these principles.
I’ve found Farrah’s story inspiring and challenging. When I read about how he cold-called hotels, cab companies, and shuttle bus services to find people who would help him start his young business people’s group, I realized how much I let my own fears of rejection stop me. I can’t imagine myself, at that age, being that bold. It can be tough now. But, that is why he is a success.
Buy this book! It will inspire you, and the profits couldn’t go to a nicer guy. I look forward to meeting Farrah someday.
The Go-To Guy
