Summary
Jeff Bezos quit a six-figure salary at a hedge fund, drove cross-country in a used Honda, and built Amazon from the garage of a rental house on a door propped up by Home Depot lumber. Howard Schultz was rejected by 217 investors before a single one said yes. Both stories dismantle the conventional thinking about success held by society. The real definition of hard work, Darren argues, is not a schedule. It's a mindset, the invisible grind, the willingness to own what no one else will.
