Inside the Book
Author and Celebrity Personal Trainer Jerry Ford has authored a
powerful, painfully honest book entitled GUNS, DRUGS, OR WEALTH as a
help and inspiration to others who also seek personal wealth and
independence.
Said Jerry Ford: “ ‘Guns, Drugs, or Wealth’ is about how I went from
the hard streets of Detroit to building wealth through stocks, real
estate and smart spending. I share with my readers how I began to build
my wealth as a personal trainer. As I wrote this book, I imagined myself
having a front porch casual conversation with my readers. This how-to
guide on building wealth will not only teach people how to build wealth,
but it’s written in layman’s terms. The genres of this book are
business, inspiration, and self-help.”
Mr. Ford’s book tells all that he has learned, offering readers
specific, tried-and-true tools for building wealth by creating three
streams of income: (1) passive income (through real-estate investing),
(2) portfolio income (through stock market investing), and (3) earned
income (through hard work and smart spending).
As a personal trainer, Jerry Ford has worked with many, many “big
name” clients, including rapper Big Sean to musical artist MoBeatz. One
special trip led to Ford becoming an author. “I was traveling with Big
Sean and MoBeatz and decided to journal a few hours a day on the trip. A
few hours turned into many…and two months later I had created the
manuscript for my book.”
A tragedy earlier in his life also drove Jerry to pull himself up
from a hard life in his native Detroit and build a life for himself as a
personal wealth coach and trainer. “My brother Sam was murdered…I miss
him every day. He inspires me to get out of bed and go as hard as
possible in life every day…I feel like I am living for two people
instead of just one, myself.”
“Being an author was never a plan,” asserted Jerry. “I knew I needed
to figure out a way to help the eighty percent of America who are poor
or middle class. I knew that I needed to help the three billion people
on the planet who are really poor. Of course this book doesn’t make up
for the world’s educational flaws, but it’s a start. Schools don’t teach
people how to build wealth.”
