    Few that know Mary Grothe today would guess that her childhood was traumatic. That she was raised by an alcoholic mother and abusive father in a filthy house, where tar dripped down the walls from the profusion of cigarette smoke. That at fourteen she watched her childhood auctioned off beneath a big top before fleeing town as a result of her parents’ criminal mistakes. Or that dance, her original love and ticket to freedom, would be taken from her in an instant. That four whole years of darkness followed. That she briefly married a man so toxic that she had to plot a secret escape to free herself. 
     
    What many people do know is that, in spite of all the above, she discovered, to her own astonishment and that of everyone around her, that she was something of a sales prodigy. That her success was meteoric. That her name was synonymous with number one. 
     
    Until now, most also don’t know that all of this “success” led her straight back down into the darkness. Into alcoholism, and from there into the front porch of her neighbors’ house, behind the wheel of one of her two cars. Or that years of healing, and grinding away in the trenches, would only bring her straight back to her knees. That finally, one fateful Christmas morning, from the pit of the bottom, she found Jesus. That again, she thought she’d forever changed her life, only to learn that doing so is easier said than done. 
     
    And that’s just the first half of this book. 
    But this isn’t an ordinary business book, or an ordinary autobiography. It’s not merely a rollercoaster, either, but an entire theme park full of them: of being a daughter, a partner, a wife, a mother, a Christian, a founder, and a CEO.

    How can we solve the problem of persistent poverty in low-status communities? Majora Carter argues that these areas need a talent-retention strategy, just like the ones companies have. Retaining homegrown talent is a critical part of creating a strong local economy that can resist gentrification. But too many people born in low-status communities measure their success by how far away from them they can get. 
     
     
     
    Carter, who could have been one of them, returned to the South Bronx and devised a development strategy rooted in the conviction that these communities have the resources within themselves to succeed. She advocates measures such as building mixed-income instead of exclusively low-income housing to create a diverse and robust economic ecosystem; showing homeowners how to maximize the long-term value of their property so they won't succumb to quick-cash offers from speculators; and keeping people and dollars in the community by developing vibrant "third spaces"—restaurants, bookstores, and places like Carter's own Boogie Down Grind Cafe. 
     
      
     
    This is a profoundly personal book. Carter writes about her brother's murder, how turning a local dumping ground into an award-winning park opened her eyes to the hidden potential in her community, her struggles as a woman of color confronting the "male and pale" real estate and nonprofit establishments, and much more. It is a powerful rethinking of poverty, economic development, and the meaning of success.

    Let’s be clear. I’m not one of those so-called motivational gurus. I speak straight, very straight. I’m not going to tell you to wish upon the universe and magically attract whatever you want, like a 20-year-old TikToker doing silly dances for a 50-year-old creep. No, I’ll make you think about things that have helped me a lot. I’ll teach you how to act in certain situations, how to face others, what attitude to take, how to find strength when there’s none left, how to leave your comfort zone, improve, and never quit. I’ll show you that the only limits are in your mind. You’ll discover the keys to success, make the necessary habit changes, and learn how to develop self-discipline. 
    And I know what you’re thinking:What the hell can you teach me about personal development? Well, read the book, and you’ll find out!I don’t care about you or your stupid motivational book! Then look for another one. There are plenty!I doubt your damn personal development book will interest me. Well, I’m sure it will! The information is useful to anyone—from businesspeople to athletes. But maybe I’m not interested in you reading my damn book. It’s helpful to everyone, but not everyone deserves it.What do you know about self-discipline? A lot. I was taught strict discipline from a young age, no complaints, no excuses. The military, sports and life itself were responsible for reinforcing that.Alright, alright. And what about overcoming failures and adversity? Oh, I’ve got plenty of experience with that. 
    Is that enough for you, or do you prefer wishing upon the universe?
