You can't control what happens to your business, but you can absolutely control how you react, and how you turn bumps in the road into ramps to the sky. Anthony Scaramucci has been there and done that, again and again, and has ultimately come out on top; in this book, he shares what he wishes he knew then.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYour chances of becoming an overnight billionaire are approximately the same as your chances of being signed to the NBA.
