Gebundene Ausgabe. Zustand: Neu. In the spring of 1982, fifteen-year-old Jeff Kahler found a stack of rain-soaked pizza menus dumped in a gutter. Most kids would have walked right past them. Jeff picked them up and carried them back to the shop. That one small choice opened a door. Four years later, with his parents putting their own house up as collateral, he bought that pizza shop. He was eighteen years old.Gutter to Go-Getter is the true story of what came next, and everything that made it possible. Born in 1968 into a hardworking, working-class family, Jeff learned early what grit looked like. A grandfather who worked nights in a steel mill and built houses by day. A mother who held the family together with faith, hard work, and a strict envelope system. Coaches, neighbors, and a tough but fair uncle in East Liverpool, Ohio, who taught him discipline and how to lose the right way.As the owner of Mustang Pizza, Jeff did not just make pizza. He reimagined how a small business could run. He brought credit card payments to the front door, used caller ID before anyone else was doing it, offered a risk-free guarantee, and even invented his own system to cut waste. Then growth caught up with him. The debt, the pressure, and the mistakes nearly cost him everything. He did not walk away.He restructured and rebuilt. In 2005, he co-founded Ready Training Online on a simple lesson he learned behind the counter: a business is only as strong as the way it trains its people. When the 2008 crash wiped out major contracts overnight, he had to start over again, finding a new future in the convenience store industry. This is not a rags-to-riches fairy tale. It is an honest, practical story about failure, resilience, and what it really takes to build something that lasts.Gutter to Go-Getter by Jeff Kahler is for anyone who has ever been told they are too young, too broke, or too far behind to start. If you have ever had to pick yourself up out of the gutter, this book is for you. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 308. …
