Author: Anthony Ryan Sadana

The Artt of the Black Card: No Bullsh*t Guide to Business,  is named after the famous American Express Black Card that is only available to an exclusive clientele who make a certain amount of money. Anthony Sadana, the author, was granted one at the young age of 23. He says that he named the book after the Black Card because he saw it as the pinnacle of his success. The trophy of the business world, you could say

The Artt of the Black Card contains nine work/life principals that Sadana swears by and that he has learned over the course of his career, first as a consultant for major businesses and now as the head of a real estate investment organization.
Some of the chapters include messages like 'Love What You Hate' about how to succeed at a job that you don't like and 'Con Me If You Can' about how to recognize a bad deal and protect yourself from it or, if you fall victim to a bad deal, how to learn from your mistakes and move forward. I particularly appreciated the section about how giving up is a state of mind and refusing to back down and let yourself be trampled on is just as important as any other business virtue.

Starting a business venture is not just about having an idea, but about being able to stand up for yourself, something Anthony Sadana seems to be adept at. The lessons in this are readily applicable to your career or even just your everyday life. Unlike some financial guidebooks that I have read in the past, each chapter in this one is new and fresh, rather than just feeling like the author is repeating themselves.  Each chapter is about an entirely different concept. Sadana did great work here and I heartily recommend this book!
