A Mini Memoir, Short Stories & Paradigm Shift in Global Education

 

BOOK SUMMARY: Taking readers on a street-smart journey about academic, career & business choices, Cliff Michaels provides a thought-provoking narrative on 4 Essentials to success & happiness (mindset, strategies, values, purpose). Exploring paradigm shifts in global education, Cliff shares lessons as a dyslexic student who dropped out of USC at 19, then launched companies in real estate, finance, and technology. Ultimately discovering his greater purpose after a multi-million dollar Dotcom failure in 2000, Cliff draws upon historic & modern mentors from daVinci and Spielberg to athletes, activists, and groundbreaking entrepreneurs. Written with passion and purpose, "The 4 Essentials" empower anyone to earn their Real-World MBA (a Masters in Basic Abilities). 

 

FUN FACTS: With each sale, books are donated to communities in need. Originally titled "The 4 Essentials of Entrepreneurial Thinking," Cliff updated the title in 2016 when fans sent letters sharing their misfit journeys.
