Why Should White Guys Have All the Fun?
Skipped business school? This book can serve as your curriculum on how business works. The biography of Reginald Lewis, the first African-American to create a billion-dollar business empire, is a comprehensive look at how to first learn and then play the game. The book describes the process of getting into the room, asking the correct questions, and searching for opportunity in the right places. But Lewis didn’t stop at gathering information. White Guys is a great example of planning and execution, as well. And there’s an extra ingredient in the book. The rappers Drake and Lil Wayne have a song called “Maybe She Will” about taking a shot at the seemingly impossible. Like those bold lyrics, Reginald Lewis had the cojones to go for it, an absolute hallmark of entrepreneurial success.
