This was a great book! Very uplifting and full of great advice. All 12 of the laws are common sense, but easier said then done and as he says in the book “Remember to remember”. Russel Simmons is the hip-hop mogul and owner of many companies. Some of his ventures are Rush Philanthropic, Rush Card, Phat Farm, Baby Phat, Global Grind, and many, many more. He walks you through the start of his career and how he got to where he is today by “trying” to follow these rules. He mentions several times in the book that sometimes he catches himself breaking his own laws, but growth is needed everywhere. He often talks about spirituality but he clarifies in the introduction this book is not based on religion or any particular sect of religion. You can use his advice and laws in your personal life and in the business world and as he walks you through each chapter he explains how the particular law applies to him in both his business and personal life. He also makes it very clear that the book is not about. It is not about his full life story, it’s not a surefire ways to get rich, it’s not about industry or personal life gossip and behind the scenes secrets. The book is simply about being or becoming a better you whether in life, business or both. That being said my personal favorite of the laws is number five: Never Less Than Your Best. He explains how and why this law works and how to incorporate it into everyday use. I highly recommend this book, especially to business students, professionals and anyone looking for a change. The laws are common sense, but often forgotten or ignored. Check it out!
