Hated His Job at 40, Bought A Business, Now Nearly A Billionaire

[MJ DeMarco]

A great story despite the click-baity title.

Lots of awesome takeaways, from getting started older in life, to productocracies, to buying a struggling business and turning it around, to domain experience in an industry, to reading books to figure out solutions.

It's everything I ramble on about!!

Enjoy!

At 40 he had a job he hated, now he’s worth half a billion dollars
