    About this ebook

    The must-read summary of Michael Franzese's book: "I'll Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse: Insider Business Tips From a Former Mob Boss"

    This complete summary of the ideas from Michael Franzese's book "I'll Make You an Offer You Can't Refuse" shows how Michael Franzese, a former mob boss, puts forward an originally surprising, but convincing, hypothesis: organised crime is not profitable by accident. The men in charge have ingenuity and tenacity. In the 1980s, the President’s Commission on Organized Crime estimated organised crime generates more than $50 billion in revenues each year. Obviously, this summary doesn’t suggest a life of crime, but it does propose that every legitimate businessperson could learn something they could apply. It advises to concentrate on the end goal at all times, and to eliminate any clutter which gets in the way of that. Always be judicious and measured in what you say, because it could come back to haunt you. Be a good listener. Remember at all times that success is self-defined, and work towards your goals, not anyone else’s. 

    Added-value of this summary: 
    • Save time 
    • Understand the key concepts 
    • Increase your business knowledge

    To learn more, read "I'll Make You an Offer You Can't Refuse" and discover this utterly compelling, entertaining, and valuable guide to achieve your goals.

    Book Abstract

    MAIN IDEA

    Irrespective of the ethics involved, there can no doubt crime pays. In the 1980s, the President’s Commission on Organized Crime estimated organized crime generates more than $50 billion in revenues each year – more than the U.S. iron, steel, copper and aluminum industries combined. When the legitimate businesses organized crime owns and runs are added in on top of these illegal rackets, it is clear mob-related business activities are genuine multi-billion-dollar operations.

    Regardless of the ethics of these various revenue streams, organized crime has not become a big business purely by accident. The men who run these operations don’t generally have formal qualifications, only street smarts, ingenuity and tenacity. It’s all too easy to assume they would not be able to function without the intimidation and ruthlessness factors inherent in organized crime, but perhaps that misses the point. Rather than suggesting a life in crime (which obviously would be stupid and doomed to fail), why not try and pick up on what mobsters learn in the school of hard knocks? They just may know something about surviving that would be applicable and useful elsewhere.
