An insightful and resourceful guide for any entrepreneur, dreamer or Presidential candidate." - Mark Cuban, Owner of Dallas Mavericks & Chairman and CEO, AXS TV "The most valuable thing Anthony Scaramucci teaches us about success is how important, even necessary, failure is. As he shows, we all face setbacks  but it's how we learn from them that governs whether we ultimately succeed or fail." - Arianna Huffington, Founder, Huffington Post & Founder and CEO, Thrive Global "A captivating, inspirational, and thoughtful book on dealing with setbacks and successes - and generating more of the latter than the former - by a leading entrepreneur, investor, and television host of extraordinary energy, vision, charisma, and brains. A great read!" - General (Ret.) David Petraeus, Commander of the Surges in Iraq and Afghanistan & Chairman of the KKR Global Institute. "All entrepreneurs are risk-takers. There are good days and bad days. But you learn one thing: `All sickness isn't death.' Anthony's book is a good blueprint for how to recover from those occasional stumbles. It all begins with a plan. A fool with a plan can beat a genius with no plan any day." - Boone Pickens, Chairman & CEO, BP Capital "This is something exceptionally rare in the entrepreneurship literature: someone telling you how he overcame his problems and made lemonade out of lemons. Anthony has skin in the game. He is funny, direct, deep, and insightful. The book is so gripping you can read it standing up. A must read." - Nassim Taleb, Bestselling-Author of The Black Swan & Distinguished Scientific Advisor, Universa Investments
