DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A BOSS?
IT’S A BIT OF A JOURNEY AND
IT’S NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.

THIS BOOK IS GOING TO TELL
YOU HOW TO BE A BOSS—
STRAIGHT UP.

THERE ARE A FEW OBVIOUS THINGS
TO START WITH, AND WE WILL
WORK OUR WAY FROM THERE.

YOUR CLOTHES
OR RATHER, NOT YOUR CLOTHES;
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU
WEAR, SO LONG AS YOU WEAR
IT LIKE AN ARMANI SUIT.

AND YOU KNOW YOU’RE
A BOSS BECAUSE YOU
WEAR SUSPENDERS—
FOR ANY OCCASION
YOU PLEASE.

YOUR RIDE
YOU TOOL AROUND IN YOUR CAR LIKE IT’S A
ROLLS ROYCE, EVEN IF IT’S NOT A ROLLS ROYCE.

YOUR FRIENDS
YOU CAN HANG OUT WITH ANYBODY
WITHOUT YOUR REPUTATION BEING
COMPROMISED, BECAUSE YOU’RE A BOSS.

YOUR ENEMIES
YOU DON’T GET ANGRY,
YOU JUST SMILE.

YOUR JOB
YOU MIGHT NOT BE THE BOSS
BUT YOU CAN STILL BE A BOSS.
SOMEDAY YOU MIGHT BE YOUR BOSS’S BOSS.

GETTING UP IN THE MORNING
MORNINGS ARE ROUGH, BUT YOU GET UP ANYWAY
KNOWING YOU WILL SEIZE THE DAY BY THE HORNS.

GOING TO BED
YOU DON’T CARE IF YOU STILL SLEEP WITH
YOUR TEDDY BEAR BECAUSE YOU JUST
BRUSHED YOUR TEETH WITH GUN POWDER.
LIKE A BOSS.

OK THAT’S A BIT OFF-THE-CHAIN BUT YOU GET THE IDEA.
YOU GO TO BED KNOWING YOU MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST,
BUT YOU’RE GOING TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE.

BUT THERE’S MORE TO BEING A BOSS THAN THIS...

A BOSS IS NOT AFRAID TO STAND OUT.
HE BELIEVES IN HIMSELF.

AND THAT MEANS HE WILL
DO THE RIGHT THING, EVEN
IF IT’S NOT POPULAR.

SELF CONTROL: BOSS LEVEL
WE’RE TALKING TEMPERANCE.
IN EVERYTHING.
JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN AND WANT TO,
DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD.

HE’S NOT THE LOUD, PLASTERED-OUT-OF-HIS-MIND
GUY AT THE PARTY. HE’S THE BUDDY WHO CARRIES
THAT GUY HOME ON HIS SHOULDERS.

HE’S A TEAM PLAYER.
HE DOES WHAT’S BEST FOR THE
GROUP, NOT JUST HIMSELF.
BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT
TOGETHER THEY CAN CONQUER.

BUT NOBODY SAID CONQUERING WAS EASY.
THAT’S OK, BECAUSE HE CAN ADAPT.
WHEN THE WINDS CHANGE
DIRECTION HE ADJUSTS
HIS SAILS.

A BOSS HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR.
HE’S WILLING TO LAUGH AT HIMSELF
AND HE DOESN’T MIND BEING THE
BUTT OF THE JOKE.
THIS IS BECAUSE HE HAS TOLERANCE.
HE DOESN’T REQUIRE EVERYONE TO
THINK LIKE HIM, AND HE CAN ALSO
PUT UP WITH NONSENSE—

UP TO A POINT.

HE LETS THINGS SLIDE, BUT NOT TOO FAR.
YOU DISRESPECT A WOMAN IN HIS
PRESENCE AND IT’S LIKE YOU’VE
DISRESPECTED HIS SISTER.

THAT MIGHT SOUND LIKE OLD-FASHIONED
COWBOY STYLE, BUT KNOW THIS:
THOSE COWBOYS BACK THEN STUCK TO
THEIR CODE BECAUSE THEY WOKE UP
EVERY MORNING AND STRAPPED THEIR
LIKE-A-BOSS ON ALONG WITH THEIR SIX-GUN.

YOUR WORD IS GOOD
YOU SAY WHAT YOU MEAN
AND YOU MEAN WHAT YOU SAY.
IF YOU SAID YOU WOULD HELP YOUR
BUDDY MOVE, YOU TELL YOUR LADY
“NOT TONIGHT.”

BOSSHOOD REVOLVES AROUND SOMETHING
CALLED INTEGRITY. THIS STUFF IS LIKE GOLD;
IT’S RARE, IT’S PRICELESS, AND IT SHINES.
YOU HAVE TO DIG DEEP INSIDE YOURSELF TO
FIND IT, AND THEN YOU REFINE IT AND EMBED
IT INTO YOUR CHARACTER SO THAT IT
BECOMES PART OF WHO YOU ARE.

ALRIGHT,
TIME TO FINISH THIS
THING WITH A POEM—

THE HEART OF MAN PLANS HIS WAY, BUT THE LORD ESTABLISHES HIS STEPS. (PROVERBS 16:9)
