By age 24, charming mob boss Michael Franzese was one of the wealthiest people on Furtune magazine's survey. As one of the rare people who quit the mob and lived to tell about it, Franzese has a unique perspective on how business is done. And one thing he noticed was that the way he made millions per week in business inside the mob can be applied to doing business outside the mob (minus the illegal part):
· Mob Rule # 4; Be an Early Riser & Avoid Getting Killed in Your Pajamas
· Mob Rule # 5: Ya Gotta Have a Crew
· Mob Rule # 7: Cook the Pasta, Not the Books
"Anyone who sells the mob short when it comes to its ingenuity, its ability to connect with people from all walks of life, and its substantial profit margins is simply kidding themselves." This book promises a mob's eye view of business that will change the way you see business forever.

I enjoy reading first-hand accounts about "The Life" and the many lessons that can be learned by those who were involved in it. Michael is very entertaining in his observations about "legit" business and how it relates back to his former career as a mob boss. While most of what he teaches is predominately known by business professionals, I think there are a few things you can take away from this book that will at least give you a different perspective.

Overall this book has a lot of good information about how to be successful in business, unfortunetly you can find it in a lot of business books. What makes this book worth reading is the stories Michael Franzese has to tell about his life in the mob. I would much rather it had been completely about that and left it to me to find the wisdom in how the mob does business. To clarify, he does show what the mob does wrong as well.

I find Michael Franzese an amazing person that I really want to learn more about. To walk away from millions of dollars and a lifestyle that he had been in his who life to go straight is truly remarkable.
Even though this effort wasn't fantastic, I look forward to reading more from this author. (show less)
