My Bible of Blunders: Stumbling to Triumph in Business

After forty years in professional sport and business, Michael Friedman sits down to describe the harrowing career path that he — a self-described "ordinary guy"—  pursued, stumbled on, raced along, departed from, triumphed through and is still following with undiminished enthusiasm.

This is no "how to" book, as Friedman admits, nor a "how not to" book. It's simply what happened, but recounted with enough honesty that we can laugh and learn as we try to keep up with Mike's busy but meandering path.

He began as a basketball-crazed kid, grew to become a professional basketball coach, leapt from that world into the pizza business because it seemed a good idea at the time, made a success of it over nine years, leapt from pizza to real estate dealing, rose, fell, rose, finally settled on the financing of real estate development and then, suddenly, has dived into telling others what he's learned and how — and infecting them with his enthusiasm.

My Bible of Blunders is 140 pages of whizz-bang business adventures featuring an ordinary guy who does some extraordinary things.
