About this listen

Few entrepreneurs can claim to have radically changed the way we live, and Ray Kroc is one of them. His revolutions in food-service automation, franchising, shared national training, and advertising have earned him a place beside the men and women who have founded not only businesses, but entire empires. But even more interesting than Ray Kroc the business man is Ray Kroc the man. Not your typical self-made tycoon, Kroc was 52 years old when he opened his first franchise.

In Grinding It Out, you'll meet the man behind McDonald's, one of the largest fast-food corporations in the world with more than 32,000 stores around the globe. An irrepressible enthusiast, intuitive people person, and born storyteller, Kroc will fascinate and inspire you.

Ray Kroc was absolutely brutal in business. He knew how, when and what he wanted to achieve. He didn't cut any corners and had a dedicated spirit to fulfiling his ambitions. He never let failure get in the way and overcame the setbacks and pitfuls of business. He is a true testament to what a man with dedication and persistence can achieve. Not to mention he started McDonald's at 52, whilst having diabetes and arthritis. An Inspiring story of resilience and vision. A must read!

Dedication and Persistence is the key to Success

Persistence! he had that. Makes you look at the giant Mcdonalds in a different light, also at your own life and effort you put in. very enjoyable listen/read.
