Burn the Boats
Too many of us are driven by fear, waiting for the perfect moment to act. We subconsciously construct an insidious safety net that becomes our undoing: Plan B.
About the Book
Looking at those who have triumphed — from business to sports, from politics to the arts — reveals the truth, and offers a template for anyone who aspires to achieve. To make your mark, follow the lead of Sun Tzu and Julius Caesar, all the way to Milk Bar’s Christina Tosi, billionaire Marc Lore, actress Scarlett Johansson, and the dozens more whose inspiring stories are shared in this powerful book: cast away your safety nets, overcome your hesitations, and burn your boats.
Matt Higgins’ own modern-day Horatio Alger story began with his radical decision to drop out of high school at age 16, jumpstarting his escape from poverty, and launching his journey to Shark Tank, Harvard Business School, and beyond. He is living proof that success can emerge from even the darkest places. Now, having mentored some of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time, Matt is ready to share his insights, his lessons, and the raw truth about how to architect your dream life with readers everywhere.
BURN THE BOATS is an inspiring, deeply actionable playbook for fearless success.
