Without a Plan

A Memoir of Unbound Action and Failing My Way to Success

By: Jeremy Delk

Narrated by: Derek Shetterly

“There was a pattern emerging in my life that dictated that the second I got bored, I’d make a move. Luckily, I was never short of ideas.”

Without a Plan is the story of a smart and confident man whose brash and forward approach to all things—while not for everyone—quickly builds trust with guaranteed authenticity. Follow Jeremy Delk from a primary school in Kentucky, when his father passed away in a tragic accident, to the boardroom of his own investment firm filled with innovative companies, technologies, and unexploited market niches.

With each new step and business venture, Jeremy’s choices twist and turn through the unknown and the failure that comes with the territory of being human. Yet his boundless actions somehow turn out alright because each headfirst dive is aligned with his true self. Jeremy’s growth becomes yours in this tale of finding true happiness.

There are no “rich people”

To hear about Jeremy for the first time in 2024 is to set him apart as an “alien“ of absurd success. His unapologetic and even abrasive communication style might tempt you to put him in a box as a jerk “rich guy” that you don’t have anything in common with. If you maybe only read one article about him or heard him talk for a minute or two you could feel comfortable keeping him in that box. But not after reading this book. Not only did it shatter by perception of this guy I felt so different from and now can relate to significantly, it helped me see how often I put other people in boxes that I should instead continue to question, myself included. Jeremy is financially wealthy, but he is also spiritually, psychologically, and relationally well off as well. But he’s been to the other side of the spectrum in all of those areas at different parts of his life, and none of those waypoints, then, or now, define him. They don’t define me either, or you, or anyone.

There are no “rich people”… Just people. I hope I can take that into every interaction I have for the rest of my life. And this book has helped provide a reference point for me to do just that.

A most amazing, honest portrayal of Jeremy’s journey.

I love the open discussion at the end of each chapter with the author, in his own words.

I look forward to whatever is next!

Outstanding book!

Read the hard copy but so glad I listened to the audible! Loved the q and a at end of chapters gave enlightened perspective in the authors own voice and also learned more from the audible that wasn’t captured in the book. Recommend highly to just the normal reader that loves an autobiography, but also to the business savvy audience.

Nuggets amidst the self-therapy

There are quite a few good things in the book. You have to get past the fact that there’s a lot of stories and talk in there that seem like self therapy by the author. Overall, a good book written in a way that may not be for everyone.
