Synopsis

Hotel magnate Jack DeBoer fills Risk Only Money with all of the lessons that he had to learn the hard way. The things he wishes someone had told him years ago. Conveyed in DeBoer s bold, straight-from-the-hip manner. DeBoer believes there are things we should never jeopardize: family, reputation, self-respect, friendships, health. But money? To him, capital exists to risk, gain, lose and reclaim. And then to do it all over again. As DeBoer points out, win or lose, tomorrow the game begins again. From the book s opening death threat from a creditor to DeBoer s closing God bless, Risk Only Money offers insight for us all. Whether we re young in our journeys, still striving for success, or have discovered what it means to live a life of significance.

About the Author

Jack DeBoer understands business. Entrepreneurship. Building something new. He is recognized worldwide as a founder of the extended-stay hotel concept, now with more than rooms. He launched four hotel brands: Residence Inn, Summerfield Suites, Candlewood Suites and Value Place. He sold the first three hotel chains to Marriott, Hyatt and InterContinental Hotels respectively. He then trail-blazed a short-term apartment concept with his founding of Value Place. It continues to enjoy rapid expansion with 175 locations of January 2011. At age 80, DeBoer sets a pace many half his age couldn t manage. From his home in Wichita, Kansas the Air Capital of the World DeBoer has always relied on corporate aircraft. In fact, he holds the 3-kilometer world speed record for jet aircraft under 18,000 pounds. Today, it takes a fleet of aircraft to keep up with him and his management team. In 1988, DeBoer undertook a round-the-world journey in his Gulfstream II. The goal: to assess needs firsthand. This transformational experience led him to lend major support to World Vision, the recipient of all proceeds generated by the sale of this book.
