## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Business Book Biographies I Read
*by K***R on October 9, 2020*

I absolutely love this book!! I will give my honest review on this book. The Author does a good job on exposing the reader to the important aspects to the life of the great Reginald F. Lewis. Before reading this book, I have never heard of him and after reading this I wonder why I didn't read this book in High School.As a black businessman, I can relate to all of the racial struggles Mr. Lewis had face. As black entrepreneurs, we have to do more than necessary to exceed expectations. I love how he did not let race adversity stop him and he continued on. Its almost like his life is a strong resemblance of a poem written by Langston Hughes called Mother to Son. Life for us have been no crystal stare.This book should be in high school curriculums across the U.S. because it allows for black men and women that someone like you have accomplish extraordinary wealth and success and you can too. You just need to believe in yourself and if Reginald Lewis can do it? So can I.Key takeaways:Pros:The book had some excerpts from Reginald Lewis explaining from his point of view of the important aspects of his life.The author did a fine job allowing the reader to see how hard Reginald work and how determined he was through his High School days, through Harvard Law and even through Corporate Law. This skill allowed him to be ultra successful in being a financier.The most important pro is hearing Reginald Lewis point of view towards charity and entrepreneurship. His points allowed me to look at business from another lens.First, he led the charge for Harvard to focus their agenda on International business because he saw that business is going to be on a global scale and students must be prepared for global challenges. In my opinion this stemmed from his managing and owning Beatrice Foods International.Second; We need to consider Corporate Takeovers rather than starting a business from scratch. I 100% agree with this. There is so much success that goes with buying businesses rather than starting from scratch: the brand, track record and in some caes easy access to private capital. The problem that I see today is that most people want to start a business from scratch when most businesses failed in the first five years. To me it makes logical sense to buy businesses that are already performing. Add value and sale to other buyers at a later date. That was Reginald Lewis's business strategy. Buy a business, add value and extract that value by selling. It is a value add approach. Which allowed me to see why the book is titled: "Why White Guys Have All the Fun". His legal clients were doing just what he did.Cons:As I mentioned, I want to give an honest review so here are some cons I think could have benefit the reader.1. When exactly did Reginald Lewis wanted to get in the world of Corporate Takeovers and how did he prepare for this change. The book mentioned briefly that he started thinking about corporate takeovers and reading prospectus. However I believe that he must have had someone advise him on how to structure these deals as well as present them to investors.This brings me to my 2nd con.I wish the author could have broke down the specifics of the deal from a math prospective. What were the projected return for investors and how did he learned the sew (McCall Company) and food business.Overall Excellent Book!!!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought by Amazon recommendations
*by S***T on May 2, 2024*

This book was pretty good, not what I was looking for with regard to starting a company but did give wonderful insight on this steadfast and remarkable man, from childhood he seemed to know that he wanted greatness and because of his mom and stepfather honestly his small circle of family and friends he achieved a level of success that was unprecedented for AA at his time and despite the racism he encountered he never let it define him and always saw these obstacles as flaws in his approach instead of his complexion. I always say intelligence is the best defense against racism and he surely showed them how intelligent he was. Bravo!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book should be required reading
*by I***E on January 12, 2021*

This book is incredible. Tapping into the life of Reginald Lewis shows us that anything is possible with an opportunity & unwavering focus to succeed. This book covers his upbringing in Baltimore, family ties & foundation, His incredible work ethic through high school all while being a student athlete.The no nonsense stories about his journey & his mercurial attitude, makes for an interesting story. The way he persevered through business deals gone good & bad, it shows how motivated Reginald was to show he deserved a seat at the table.I recommend this book to any one with goals & aspirations to follow the journey of someone who set goals, had extreme focus & conquered despite odds being stacked against them.
