Book Preview:

#1 I visited Georgia to speak with Valerie, a mother of two who was very proud of both her children going to college. But she was also desperate for them to have better options for financial aid.

#2 The root of ambition is the desire for something more. We rarely think about what we want and how to get it until we’re adults, and even then, we typically edit our desires until they fit our construct of who we’re supposed to be.

#3 The lack of faith that many minority leaders have is just a reflection of how most people feel about their ambition. We don’t know what we want, and we are afraid to get it, because we don’t know if we’ll be able to handle it.

#4 When we win, we achieve beyond ourselves. We become models for others, who see our victories as proof that they can win too. By simply embracing ambition, we mentor others to see their potential.
