Description
When Gary Findley set out to share his personal journey of triumphs over trials and inspire others through tough times, he never imagined readers would be living the ultimate example of survival after a global pandemic. That makes The Redneck CEO: Faith, Hope & Hard Work an extra timely dose of real-world inspiration about the possibilities in life that are within reach against the greatest of odds.  Many people in the business community are left overwhelmed, burned out, and in search of solutions as a result of today's challenges. Findley and his grassroots perspective sheds light on answers for the disenchanted and the secret to true happiness. In The Redneck CEO, he takes readers through his own business journey, from making millions to losing it all and starting over, all while staying true to his principles for success: integrity, faith, and hard work. Findley credits growing up in the small, rural town of Axtell, Texas, for instilling his strong work ethic and unshakeable faith. That foundation fed his entrepreneurial drive and led to running his own businesses, serving as a franchise owner of multiple franchise brands, and ultimately becoming an executive to grow some of the largest franchise networks across the country and around the world.  When others went to college, Findley went to work. College came later, and by that time, his previous company's global success was the first chapter in the book for his business class.
