About this book
An entrepreneur shares anecdotes from his prosperous career while offering readers their own roadmap to success in business.
The backbone of businesses, the opener and closer of deals, the risktaker who bets on themself-that's an entrepreneur. Jay D. Rodgers has seen and done it all: from the gritty start-ups to full-scale, world-wide businesses that generate millions in revenue each year. For more than half a century, Jay has started and sold capital ventures, from custom-made cowboy boots to the world's largest breath-alcohol interlock company, and he's helped many others along the way.
The Bet is blunt and honest and offers no excusesâan entrepreneur always finds a way. When Jay's betting, he's betting bigâas an entrepreneur shouldâon his business, his partners, and his experience to wrangle the best results. His advice and strategies for success are set apart by his trials, errors, and triumphs that come with the territory of serial entrepreneurship. The Bet is like a session with Jay. He'll share how he did it, and he'll show you how.
You'll learn:
