George Foreman knows what it’s like to get knocked down — in the ring and in life — and he knows how to get back up again. Two-time heavyweight boxing champion of the world, he knows what it takes to succeed. He has a wealth of life experience to share, and in George Foreman’s Guide to Life: How to Get Up Off the Canvas When Life Knocks You Down he does just that. Here’s what George has to say about:

TAKING ADVICE: “The real answers you are looking for are inside of you. The hard part is being able to hear them.”
BEING AFRAID OF CHANGE: “Be afraid to stay where you are in life. Stepping out…is what makes you good, better, and even the best at what you’re doing.”
GETTING OLDER: “Old age is not something that happens to you; it’s a choice you make. You can look in the mirror and cry…or you can look in that mirror…and dream another dream.”
LEARNING FROM YOUR MISTAKES: “I try to let the past stay where it is and let today speak for itself….Learn from your mistakes but don’t be chained to them.”
DETERMINATION: “There are always others trying to get to the same goal you are, only they decide to stop halfway down the road. And when they walk away, they leave the road paved for you.”
MARRIAGE: “Let every day be like the first day you fell in love. It’s about trying to put your best self forward, not just to others but to the one you’ve pledged your life to.”
CHILDREN: “I believe how you teach your kids life’s lessons is as important as what you teach them. You’ve got to love kids into another gear.”

Two-time heavyweight champion of the world and record-busting businessman George Foreman has spent his career challenging prevailing conceptions of success and achievement. In this book, he’s stepping into the ring as a coach to teach entrepreneurs the knockout business secrets that lead to extraordinary levels of success. You’ll learn how to focus on smart growth, fearlessly seize opportunities, and build an organization of significance. Knockout Entrepreneur does this by showing what it means to truly live out a new way of doing business–to be an idea wrangler and visionary who uses God-given imagination; someone who never gives up, gives in, or backs down from the hard work necessary to make it; an encourager, risk-taker, mentor, and giver in a world that often reflects the opposite; someone with integrity and generosity who doesn’t strive for titles and possessions; an amasser of wisdom over wealth. By equipping you with these principles and with strategies to help you embody them every day, Foreman provides the tools needed to come out swinging in the business world while also instilling the intrinsic knowledge that the greatest ROI is found in faith, family, and community. Backed with plenty of the author’s engaging personal stories, contemporary accounts of success, timeless wisdom, and leading questions, Knockout Entrepreneur is packed full of everything you need to put your knockout career–and life–plan into action.
