Enforcer to Entrepreneur

Achieving Hockey Stick Growth in Life, Business, and Sports

By: Jerry Rollins

Narrated by: Jerry Rollins

Nothing in business is a mystery. Success comes through careful study and dedication to the process.

I was a professional hockey player who grew up in a hockey family. My dad is Al Rollins, NHL player and professional coach. In my childhood and as a young man, I was surrounded by the greats: Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, and Wayne Gretzky. I was lucky enough to learn a lot from them about life, sportsmanship, and excellence. But this is not a hockey book.

I am also a high school dropout. I took everything I learned on and off the ice and became a successful CEO, running five companies and now mentoring hundreds of executives. I clawed my way to the top, not by being the best, but by observing and mimicking those who did possess extraordinary talent.

Business is a process, and once you understand it, success is almost inevitable. This book will share decades of experience gathered by some of the most successful executives I know - lessons which were previously only available to the top leaders in industry.

Why reinvent the wheel when so many before you have found the formula for success?

The Great One

Thoroughly enjoyed this. I knew a little bit about Jerry’s hockey career before I started reading, but had no real idea how he was able to parlay that success so seamlessly. This book is the peek behind the curtain.

Jerry’s ability to connect the dots between the will to win and what it actually takes to master the leadership game is incredible. The later chapters interpolate that into the broader purpose of passing it all on, and Jerry’s heart for and experience with mentoring really shine through.
