This is a book that major publishers were afraid to publish. It is a book that some will even be afraid to read, but if you want to be in control of your life---and now limited by the rules of others---then this is a book you need to read. The sad truth is we all are conditioned to accept and follow the rules of business---regardless of their validity. This book is about cheating on the dumb and dishonest rules of business and carving out a career of individual brilliance, not being trapped in the mediocrity of the herd.The honest way to live life is to break all the false rules, artificial expectations and archaic limitations imposed on us by others. "Cheat to Win" is about winning with true integrity. It debunks the rule-myths of business by deflating the hypocrisy and translating the doublespeak of dishonest rules, empowering you to discover your own clear and direct path to success.By shattering rather than following the entrenched establishment's "conspiracy of rules" and learning to adopt an honest, challenging rule-breaking elan, your mind opens to the wide vistas of opportunity in life. The author's own remarkable story validates these thesis. From college dropout to corporate chairman and influential business leader, the author cheated on the business rules that needed to be cheated on and won big---the honest way. In this book, MacDonald shows there is no monopoly on honest rule-breaking---anyone can do it and win. While some will always fear the concept of cheat to win, what separates the winners from the losers in life is the willingness to question, challenge and---under the right conditions---violate outdated rules in order to rise faster, achieve more and live life as their own. You can too!
