You'll never fully appreciate what the word "free" in free enterprise means until it has
been taken from you. I know, because in 1959 my father was a successful businessman in
Cuba worth more than $20 million. When Fidel Castro and his communist government took
over the country, my parents were forced to escape overnight with just the clothes on their backs.
I tell you this because I see millions of my fellow Americans taking free enterprise for granted!
And it breaks my heart! The sad truth is, Americans have conditioned themselves to believe in a
movement almost as dangerous as Communism. I call it Job-ism.
Under Communism, the government takes away your freedom and forces you to depend on them for all
your basic needs. Under Job-ism, you voluntarily give away your freedom in exchange for a weekly paycheck.
That's why I've written this book - to challenge the dissatisfied employees of America to own
their own lives again by owning their own business... never again having to worry about a boss
looking over their shoulders!
